Throughout this year, I’ve made excellent progress with a bunch of my classes. Which one of these is science, for the most part I finished almost every assignment in science, but later in the year, I found myself doing all of the work. Another class I found myself improving in was humanities, I Improved a lot of stuff including, stopping myself from gaming. At the start of the year I found it hard to focus and not game but by the end of the year, I had stopped a lot. Another thing I improved on a lot was helping out in groups. At the start of the year I was having trouble with that, but later in the year more often was I helping out my group by suggesting an idea, or point out something. Now throughout this year, there has been LOTS of work. Some of the skills that helped me were my fast typing skills which helped me with the assignment “medieval artwork choice chart” because of the large portions of writing we had to write. Another skill that helped me was my creativity, and it helped me with an assignment called “immune system characters” because of all the drawings I had to made and they were so creative! One more skill that helped me throughout this year was my designing skills. This helped me with an assignment called “vaccine media campaign” and it helped me with the designing aspect of it which was making/designing the posters. Just like everyone I still have my struggles. The thing I struggle at school is asking for help at school. At home I usually can ask for help with homework or projects, but when I’m at school I usually can’t. Something I can do to improve this is, using multiple ways to convince my self to ask for help, like saying oh like if you don’t ask for help your going to fall super behind and have a lot of stress. One more thing that I’m good at though is respect. I always respect others and there opinions and choices, and I never interrupt, BUT I have a really hard time listening. I don’t do this on purpose because I’m bored I just find it really hard to listen and I can always find myself zoning out or daydreaming whether I’m in class home or even walking. Although this year has been a lot of work there was still some work I really enjoyed some assignments from different classes and my favourite assignment from science is probably the field journal because it was quite informative and experimental. This is because we took a swab and swabbed multiple tables, then put them in a Petri dish, and then watched the bacteria grow. Although it was a little gross and smelled.. funny. My favourite assignment from humanities was my favourite assignment for humanities was probably the Oregon ads, because I had fun designing them, as well as putting them together and putting writing. Although this year has been hard and sometimes I disliked it, there have been numerous times where I have enjoyed it.

Science throughout this year has been very fun and educational. One of the experiments I enjoyed the most was the one where we got Petri dish swabbed the science room table and the LAC room table. We then put all the bacteria in the Petri dish and watched it grow. This was the outcome. We can see the science room has more bacteria but the LAC room is more colourful.

I found the experiment quite fun, BUT it was really disgusting thinking that you touch that everyday. The smell was also putrid I gagged in my mouth.

during science, the teacher assigned us an array of different assignments. Some skills that helped me in science were, my fast typing skills, my creativity, my designing skills, and my communications skills.

another fun assignment was called vaccine media campaign, where we had to right fun and informative posters to persuade people to get vaccinated.

this was one of the posters:

One thing I really liked about it is that I could make my posters as witty as I wanted it to be and one thing I disliked was designing it. The skills I used for this were my designing skills and my reading comprehension skills related to my research.

public health part of the definition is it’s a public health system were people can go to get diagnosed and treated. Imagine you have cancer. If someone were to find the cure, you might not have to deal with the side effects you would get better faster and might not have to suffer through as many treatments. This is some ways science can effect public health.

Curiosities:

one question I have is are we still going to dissect a frog.

Hi! This is my Mpol post. In this blog post we will be discussing: my strengths, weaknesses, projects or things I learned about that I found interesting and boring, and so much more. But let’s start with the declaration

“Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.”

things I liked learning about and things I found boring
I really liked coding because I found learning How to code interesting, and I also really enjoyed coming up with a concept for my game! Although it sadly deleted. But something I didn’t really like was learning about the renaissance/medieval because we didn’t learn about the stuff I was interested in from that time and I also found it really stressful.

Some of my strengths that helped me do my homework when it was stressful were my fast typing skills as well as my creativity.

some of my weaknesses that made work more stressful was my trouble getting on task, trouble with focusing, and being a perfectionist. Something I can do to help is finding strategies to focus like using a fidget, and something to help with my perfectionism is reminding myself that things don’t always need to be perfect.

I feel like I failed this year because I didn’t finish/put enough effort in that I could’ve if I decided to try to be a little more invested in my work.

A project that I’m least proud of is my artwork starring you because I kind of rushed it and didn’t do it well. A project I’mmost proud of is maybe the song project because I tried really hard to help with this project.

Hello! Have you ever wondered what it was like living in medieval times? I haven’t until in our class we started learning about medieval Europe! The first thing we did was read a book called book of the lion. After reading a few chapters, we were put into groups, and had to fill out different assignments and then share them with our group. Another thing that we learned about was the feudal system. The feudal system is a hierarchy system. At the bottom were the peasants who worked for the land owners, which were the nobles. The middle class were knights And military service. The higher class were lady’s and nobles which were vassals to the king, and the highest class was the king himself who owned everything in the land. The next assignment we worked on was called art chart: the art chart was an assignment where we would have a worldview like education, and you would have to choose the best paintings for that worldview, why it’s the best painting worldview, and how it connects to our worldview now.
But what is worldview?
worldview is the way view the world and what it is.       Everything you do and say can effect your worldview.

our last assignment was an assignment called artwork starring YOU! In this assignment we had to choose a painting from our art chart, and put our face in the painting. For this assignment we had to edit, and cut.

driving question:

our driving question is: what can we learn from the past and how can we apply it today?

To start this off hierarchy still exists. Just not in the exact way. Then it was based on your job. So let’s say you were lower class in medieval times, but you were super rich, you would still be lower class. But now let’s say your a barista at Starbucks but you have millions of dollars: you would be high class because you have money.

that is what I have learned through this project.
