Hey guys, so for the last semester I’ve been taking a class called Personal Growth Plan or PGP which is the PLP equivalent of Career Life Connections. The semester just ended and with it we had to present our final project, what do I need to know to move forward with lifelong learning and active […]
The Horror of Reality
Hey guys, it’s been a sec but I’m back and better than ever. Our most recent project surrounded horror and how it is used to comment on society and its fears. In fact, the driving question for this project was Why is horror an effective way to reflect and comment on our society? Throughout this […]
T-t-t-t-TPol’s!!!
Hey guys, it’s the end of yet another school year which means yet another year to reflect on and to share that reflection in a TPol. In fact this is my last TPol I will ever have to do! Sadly, that means that next year I will be consumed with preparing for a 30 minute […]

The Local Crazy Ones
Hey guys, the final project of the year has finally come to a close which means it’s time for the final blog post of my grade 11 year. As always the last project was presented in the spring exhibition, which this year had both some great ideas and execution and some downfalls. But this is […]
Persuasion to Progress
Hey guys, it may come as a surprise to some of you but although most of what we do in Humanities falls under the umbrella of social studies, the course itself is supposed to be both socials and english. This most recent project can attest to that. We were tasked with writing a persuasive text […]
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow…
Hey guys, as always with these posts, we have just finished our most recent project in the PLP 11/12 cohort. This particular project continued on from where in history we had left off, after WWII and into the Cold War and also happened to include our Shakespeare play for the year, Macbeth. Now you may […]
2 Years Later It’s Time for mPOLs again
Hey guys, it’s close to two years since I’ve had to do a mPOL and yet the nerves that come with them are still exactly the same. This year has been interesting to say the least, with everyone still getting used to the semester system and the two hours classes most of the projects we […]
Songs of the Soul
It seems as though every project we do focuses a lot more on the socials side of humanities compared to the English side of it. This project was going to be no different, but because of the extra week off we got after winter break, our project focused solely on English. Specifically, on poetry, songs, […]

Hiroshima and The Weight of Morals
The Winter Exhibition has come and gone once again and with it, our main project for the semester. Based on my previous blog posts you could probably come to the conclusion that we were focusing on Hiroshima, or more specifically the bomb that was used to destroy it. However, that’s not really the full extent […]
Is Hiroshima Still Relevant Today?
I’m sure that the majority of you who are reading this have heard about Hiroshima, it was the first ever use of an atomic weapon on a population and the first time the world had ever witnessed such power. I’m also sure many of you have also read the book Hiroshima by John Hersey and […]
