Koresh And Burn

All throughout history, religion has cemented itself as an essential part of many peoples lives, all around the globe. For someone like myself, who would not classify themselves as religious, the idea of religion seems pretty foreign, like I would never be able to understand how someone could live their life underneath a higher order…

Girl Power

After the longest ten weeks of my life, that’s a wrap! The first quarter of this crazy school year is complete, and that means that so is the first half of PLP 12. Somehow, I made it out and am alive to tell the tale, so here goes. As you would know if you frequent…

Wickstone’s Weekly Work – #4

This week, as we concluded our studies on women’s rights and completed the timeline of events, I was inspired to dedicate this weeks post to the entire women’s rights movement’s progression. During class this week, a classmate – whom I can’t quite recall – mentioned something about in the 1980’s, pro-life activism saw a spike,…

A Tough Question With A Tougher Answer

For my third and final Think & Create post, I used this opportunity to collect my thoughts and produce a podcast in which I discuss a question and topic that has been on my mind throughout the research stages of our socratic seminar. Whilst my group has been preparing to tackle the question “Are we…

A Story Of Progression

With the current state of the world and the lifestyle we have all felt, I finally have an excuse for that feeling of time passing at strange speeds. On one hand, its ridiculous to think Im headed in to grade 12, my final year at high school, but on the other hand, my god does…

Macbeth Meets the 50s

6 months later and let me just say that this isn’t the way I expected this unit to come to a close. From scheduling issues to equipment failure, a global pandemic was last on the list of things I would have bet on ruining our film. It has now been 3 months since we ground…
