📚mPOL’s📚

Leave a comment

Hey guys, So today I’m going to tell you about mPOL’s. Ok I know what your thinking mPOL’s are kinda like a student led conference. And I’m hoping you know what a student led conference is but if don’t it means exactly how it sounds, a student leading a conference about how they are doing to far in school (most of the time it’s about school). Ok now here’s the difference between student lead conferences and mPOL’s, a student lead conferences is kinda like a walk around gallery when you just talk about your work. And mPOL’s are similar but they are much more of a presentation. Okay so for my mPOL i made a paragraph about each subject talking about what we did and how we did it.

First let’s talk about humanities and what we did. We did a lot of this this year so far, lots of this like worldview of religion or Oregon ads. But I think I’m going to talk about the Oregon ads. I loved this project because for one thing we got to go to Oregon with was super fun. Go check out my Oregon blog post! Oregon blog post But anyways in Oregon we were separated into group, in my group was Kaden, Holly, Ryan and Emily. Here are link to their blogs if you wanna see their’s!Holly’s blog Emily’s blog Kaden’s blog  Ryan’s blog Ok back to work. After we had a group we were assigned a business that originated in Oregon. Are business was Northwest trek wildlife park. Like I said I really like this project and if you wanna here more about the Oregon ads here’s the link to my post. Oregon ads blog post

Next maker , so far in maker we did lots of projects such as the student blogging challenge which is a bunch of little project that we had to do on our blog. Here’s a link to my favourite challenge. Blogging challenge week 5. Another big project we did was the winter expedition. Winter expedition is this big project everyone in PLP did. Our focus was worldview and religion. If you wanna hear more go check out my post abouWinter Expedition blog post.

Now science, science wasn’t to bad this year our teacher was Mr. Tomas(same teacher in math) Mr. Tomas is a really awesome teacher he is super chill and a good teacher, but anyways back to the work. In science we would usually just do work sheets but if we were learning a new subject we would get to watch a couple videos. I think my favourite project in science would have to be the children’s book about tectonic plates because it was really fun and i really enjoyed making it. Here it is if you wanna see it. 814634EB-8BBD-4C5F-98BB-5A478E4FB4C7-10q33pk

Ok this year in math I for once liked math class because it was nice and calm and not super crazy like my other classes, and my teacher Mr. Tomas he was super chill he would even lets us eat and lessen to music in class. But also it was fun, normally i don’t like math but this year was really fun because if we weren’t doing any work sheets we would get to watch videos. The work we done is stuff like fractions, integers and order of operations and we just started working on surface area and volume.

This year we started a new class in PLP called PGP. PGP is to help you become a student and person. PGP has helped me so much in PLP, such as keeping track of time by time blocking or goal setting. In the beginning of the year PLP was pretty stressful but after PGP it got a lot easier. Okay back to the work this year in PGP it was a labour goal setting. Everyone in my class had to make up one or two goal for next year. My goal was to take my time when doing work and to stay organized. I think that PGP helped me a lot by keeping organized. And to be honest I thought that PGP was going to be jus more homework but instead in really helped me out

k bye ✌️

🗺My Worldview🗺

Leave a comment

My class is a project called My Worldview. It was about how we see our lives and what’s going on in life. Just turn off we had to make a MindNode. Our MindNode is a brainstorm about our life. We had to put a point of view for different subjects. And then make it into a script. After we are done making a script we use an app called explain everything and we made a little video all about our worldview.I thought this project was pretty fun I got to use some new apps I’ve never used before and it was really fun making explain everything video to me.

k bye ✌️

❄️Winter Exhibition 2018❄️

Leave a comment

This term my class did a big project called the winter Exhibition. It’s all about what we’ve learn in the topic we where given, in my case we did the worldview of religion. How it works is everyone in my class was separated into groups of 5. Each group was given a specific religion. My group was assigned Judaism for our religion. But their was lots of other religions such as Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc. After we were assigned our religion we had to make a poster. We had to make 4 drafts.

Here is our first draft/idea. As you can see if you knew nothing about Judaism you would think this is a good poster. But the five main points were definitely not the main more important parts in Judaism, and the gas mask is pretty offensive because what happen was they were invaded and had coked to death because the invaders released a deadly gas that killed many, many, many Jews. And the invaders were wearing the gas mask so that’s how they survived, but since the Jews did not have any gas masks they were killed. So if they had the gas masked they would of survived. So adding that picture of a gas mask means that they were not smart enough to think to use the gas mask. So when my teacher saw it all she said was “You know you can’t use that poster, right”. So that’s why we thought of this idea. 

This was our second draft/idea. We had completely redo this draft because our first draft was offensive. So for this draft we thought we would make it clear that we had 6 main important parts. Each group member had to do one main event(and one together)and a picture that suited the part. And in my opinion I think we did pretty good compared to our first Poster. After every group had finished a poster draft our teachers numbered each poster from best to worse. Our first one we were last, but in our second one we were in third! I’m not going to show you all of our posters but here was our end result! 

This is our last poster draft! The changes were not that big but we did change the text on all of them a little bit, and fixed up all the pictures. And after every group had finished they last draft our teachers number us, and guess what place we came in. FIRST! and we were the first group to have a thumps up to print it! After everyone had finished all their final poster, that’s when we were aloud to start planning the rest of the project.

So what we had to do was think of a food to make and a game to play. For my group we did cheese dreidels for our food and for our game we chose to do the game dreidel! The plan was everyone had to make 40 cheese dreidels, and one person would make 4 clay dreidels. The end result of our station was pretty awesome! We had lots of people coming and looking, eating, playing and asking questions about Judaism. Our project was a hit and in conclusion I think my group awesome and that I really liked the idea of the Winter Exhibition!
