Is The End of Our World!😱

sophiaw on

Hello internet, just this week my class finished a project called is the end of our world. During this project I learned how to use GarageBand more efficiently. For this project the driving question was: Who or what has challenged your worldview from the transition from elementary to high school?  to answer the question our teacher a hit song from the 90s Is the End if My World as I Know It by R.E.M. and our teacher create a lyric templelt for us to field in to make or own lyrics.

To get ideas for our lyrics we created a MindNode bassed on our worldview using the 7 aspeccts of worldview. On the MindNode we had to write the expectation of high school which some ture out to be the opposite. here is a link to my MindNode. moving on to the next big milestone – milestone three – where we record our songs. I had a bit of diffricuties keeping up with the song’s tempo since my lyrics are quite squeezed in together. Some thing I would improve next time is definitely to count the syllabus of the word before writing them down. Here is a video for my individual song.

I know is kind of bad but luckily when we are doing the peer critique we could chose the persons we are comfortable to let them listen to you song, and of course, I choose one of my best friends- Annie! The very next day we were assigned to our groups, I was in a group with Ryan and Nya, go check out their blog and recent posts, we mixed up our lyrics together and we put our best parts into the song. We also had to have photos of us in grade 7 to grade 8/now here the video.

Now, this:

Create: What literacy skills am I using to write, speak, and represent in the texts I create? 

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

was our curriculum competencies! Which was pretty mind blowing.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, see you soon.

The medium is the message reflection post

  • last draft


  • Second draft (sorry I sometimes do my drafts over the same draft so I lost most of mine)


  • first draft made with sketches pro

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?

My Oregon Coast Field Study Reflection

sophiaw on

Hello again! This week I’ll be going to write about a reflection post about my field study at Oregon Coast, Portland.

On October the 19th, 6:15 am, me and most of my classmates have arrived at our school’s front door loading the bus. Around  an hour later (it felt like 2 hours…) we passed the boarder to U.S. all of us was so exited for breakfast, but we had to miss it, because passing the boarder toke too long. For diner we when to the beach to eat pizza, then some sea gulls and craws smelt pizza so they came too. That night at I was in a yurt with Ryan, Annie and Nya for the other nights I also stayed with Indy, Kate and Amy I consider checking their blog out too!

On this field study I managed my impulsivity by thinking well before I act, and decide to do it or not after knowing what the result will be if I do it. For example when we are doing a group quest we have to think thoroughly, so we can succeed the quest. Another example was that we are eating at the buffets we would have to think before we get our food so we don’t have to waste any food, to do that we have to manage our impulsivity. One last example is that when we are asking questions to our tour we would have to think before we ask so we don’t ask stupid questions or take the questions too far.

Right now im working on a video for our field study

here is the link for my book!(Click here)

Ps. I’m almost done, I’ll post it when I have full edited the video!
