Metaphor Machine

Hi to anyone who is still out there reading this. This post has been a long time coming. Literally. As I mentioned in my Alberta post, or at least I think I did, my memory is not back to full strength yet, shortly after coming home from our Alberta field study I got a bad…

Take Your Kid to Work Day

We ended this term with a great opportunity for another live event video – take your kid to work day. I have to admit that when I first thought about trying to film this, I was a little worried. My Dad was the parent taking me to work but most of the time my Dad…

Live Event Video

This year in PLP we have been working on making videos and video production. For one of our assignments we had to film a live event, something that was happening in our neighbourhood or nearby. I have been behind in my assignments due to a concussion, which has been hard, but one positive thing came…

Identity Post

For the first term this year we have been working on identity. Last year we worked on world view, which is how you look at the world. Identity is the opposite, it is how the world looks at you. Our driving question is how does the land shape our identity. First, we made a video…

Now you may be wondering how you can combine these two things? Well, we got to perform The Tempest but in the setting of New France. In The Tempest, people arrive to a new…

Blue Sky 2018

For our Spring Exhibition we all completed a Blue Sky Project. The Blue Sky Project is modelled after an innovative idea from Apple where its employees were allowed to spend up to 20% of their time developing a project that was of interest to them personally or a passion of theirs. It was meant to…

Exploring the new world

Hello again! Well I’m back for another post and today I will be talking about the New World and what we learned about it. We learned about the major expeditions from Europe to North America in the 14 and 15 hundreds. Then we were each assigned an expedition that we had to make into a…
