mPOL-2022👻

sophiaw on

Hello lovely readers, welcome to my mPOL! This is my second time doing mPOL, the first, I miserably failed at. Now that I’m the expert on my own learning, I’m also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can trust me to give an honest and accurate evaluation of my growth. Thank you in advance for reading and please comment below feedbacks that I can use to improve as a learner.

I “Failed”

Just like other student in PLP I get really proud of myself when I get a rainbow, which in PLP it literally mean A++, AKA the best mark you could possibly get. I had some rainbows but, of my work completed this year, I’m most proud of was at the beginning of the year when I finish the quiz on government responsibilities and structures first, not just in time but in grade too. Evan though our party didn’t win, I learning that discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discussed people. Our party didn’t focus on idea we focused on event and people that influenced our country, while other groups were coming up with creative ideas that lead them to a interesting new party, and my group practically copied existing parties.(read post on the project here!)


Standards

although not all the work I completed met my standards, some did. I really enjoyed working with my group in our Romeo and Juliet project. Despite the lack of time we had because of the delayed started form covid, all of us had put in our own efforts to make the video dramatic and funny (Shoutout to Keenan for the main idea of the story). During our previous project Ology of apology, I think my group did a very good job of team work and presenting, so even though we didn’t win I think we did a good job, lets just blame the fact that the other group’s name came before us in alphabetical order.

Valuable lessons

In the learning plan I said that should use my creativeness to its advantage, and so, during story writing of our Act of Romeo and Juliet, I helped my group-mates by contributing creative ideas and getting creative with editing like the many sound effect we added to make our film original. Although we were short on actors we still work it out, there would be no way that we would have ever succeeded if we didn’t worked together. On the other hand, I wished we had a better way of introducing our character. For example, Jordan, Dries, Nathan, and Jakub’s group had introduced each character of their story in a smooth way, while still matching with the theme and the background music of their film.

Demonstrate

I have improved greatly as a learner because of the support I have been getting from my peers. In the beginning of the year I rarely contributed ideas, afraid of making revisions, but as I follow my learning plan I saw improvements like, not getting distracted by other homework, less procrastinating, not being controlled by my own moods, and so much more. I even changed my habits for the better, like having a good sleep schedule! I used things and craft, things, and calendar regularly to help me meet my criterias as this is one of the reason why my habits need to be changed.

Improve!

In the remainder of the school year, I’m going to try my best to stay focused on my main goals, and do a better job of time management. To achieve this, I will sharpen my learning plan by writing my goals in details, sticking to what I wrote down, and being honest.

Thank you

At the end I wanted to say thank you to my teachers, they always helped me when I’m stuck with problems, because of them my grades improving which to me is a huge success.

Storm the barricades!✊

Hello internet, it’s been less than two weeks since I last posted! As our first project ended the second came —  Storm the Barricades! the project where we learned all about the American and French Revolution. For this project, our driving question is: How do revolutions transform societies? With the question in mind, we started to learn about the Crane Brinton theory and both of the revolutions.

With my group Keenan, Ryder, and Jakub, we planned out our first machine which was on Crane Brinton’s theory using metaphors. There we divided up into two groups one is the building group and one is the writing group. Ryder and I got the role of the writer, which is the one that writes out the script and the angles we will be using when we film our machine later. Though, I and Ryder did also assist with the machine.  Then, we filmed our machine, edited and explained the metaphors. Later in the week, we did both our American Revolution and the French Revolution the same way.

The curriculum competencies are:

Creative Communicator: How might I use technology to create and communicate?

Establish Historical Significance: How do we make choices about what is worth remembering?

Analyze Cause and Consequence: Who or what influenced events to occur and what were the consequences of those events?

Designing Texts: Have I used writing and design processes to plan, develop, create, and refine engaging and meaningful texts considering purpose, audience, and message?

I learned lots of stuff during this project, like the four stages of revolution in Crane Brinton’s theory and the significance and the cause and consequences of both the American and the French Revolution. 

Anyways that’s it for this post enjoy the rest of your day/ night, peace out!

The medium is the message reflection post

Hello everyone sorry I haven’t blogged in a while, I have a Remembrance Day long weekend and almost forgot about blogging.
Anyways, a few days ago I finished an humanities unit called “the medium is the message” so our teacher wanted us to do a blog post about the unit. For that unit we actually got to make ads for companies! My group which had Camron, Jakub, and Ryan. Please check out their amazing blogs!

As I was saying we had to make ads, it was not easy at all! It was unexpectedly hard to make we had to make better and better versions of the ad until our teacher said it is good enough. the driving question of this unit is: what does what we see, read and hear influence us. My answer is: “What we see, read and hear influence us by telling a story and it also uses a believable layout, so we believe in it and maybe pass on the message.”
here is a picture of the final two ad I made:

Deep cove advertisement

Oregon coast advertisement

using one of my ads as an example, my Deep Cove ad, I use colour and pictures to catch people’s attention, I also used The Raven’s logo with “since 1979” to tell a story-ish message that this company has been around for quite a while. I mainly wanted people to look at the detail words so I used different fonts to catch their attention to those words.

Now I will explain why I did those things more detailed

colour- different colour meant different emotions, like I used black, and that means  balanced, neutral or calm.

pictures- using pictures to catch people’s attention is very commonly and effectively used in ads, using picture reference can let people come to mind want the place/product looks like.

telling a story- using something to tell a story can help your audience remember what you are trying to advertise, using an icon can also help you remember, like, do you still remember when The Raven was found?

usage of different fonts- using different fonts can help you get your audience to remember the parts that stands out, which can also help you remember the details more effectively, like, when is The Raven opened?
