mPOL ☝️🤓✨

Hello. This is my mom and dad, Kristina and Lauren and I think Jared’s here too.

Introduction:

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

One thing that I’ve seen that my classmates do that id like to improve on is not leaving work till the last minute. I try to get it done before it’s due but sometimes I’ll hand it in like 5 or 10 minutes after it’s due. I’d also like to work on organization. Im not an organized person. Things doesn’t really help me so sometimes I just write a checklist of everything that I need to get done and that works better.

An example question that we had the option to answer is “did all the work you completed this year meet your standards?”. I’d say no. Some of my work was rushed and I had to redo it. Some of my work was in a group but some people take over. All that kinda stuff. The work that I’m most proud of are my window notes that we did in humanities with Ms Willemse. I think it was good for me to do because you got to relate to stuff that happens and I’m very good at relating. Here are my window notes:

There we go.

Humanities
In humanities I liked writing poems and reading The Outsiders. I like the language arts part of it. Socials on the other hand… is not my favourite. Learning about the world, places in the world, the past is kinda confusing and hard to understand. I think over time I’ll start to like it.

The Learning Plan that we did a while ago

I dont really remember when we did this but we did. It’s a learning plan. One thing we did was set goals and see if they were accomplished by the end of the year. My goals were to complete my work on time or even hand assignments in early and work on my time management.

 

Work Habits

So… as I was saying earlier im not the most organized person and that I have to work on that. I was also saying about how I use a checklist and check off the work I finished. I like to work really hard, get stuff done, then take a 10 min break and get back to work after that.

The Basics

Revision… So whenever Im bored, looking through Showbie and see a revision emoji, I’ll redo it. But normally my grades get lost in my emails. When I redo it I see what I did wrong and change up some things.

Teamwork…  I like working in groups but sometimes that can be hard. There is always 1 or 2 people controlling the group so sometimes people in the group get left out. I like getting in there and helping, but once in a while I will let other people do more of the work.

Responsibility… Im not very responsible. I get most of my work in on time but then sometimes I just forget.

Thank you for your time. Any questions??

Story Blog Post

Welcome back to another. Today our driving question is; how can we use storytelling to investigate what sparked global exploration and understand its impact.

AR Makr

If this is your first time hearing this (which it probably is) is because it’s a really glitchy app that makes photos come to life and 3D. It would be pretty cool if it wasn’t so glitchy and the audio quality is better.

The three G’s

As soon as you read that you’re probably wondering what the 3 G’s are, Gold, Glory and God. God: Most people were Christian. They thought they had to spread that and make everyone else believe in that religion. Gold: Gold was a very valuable thing. If you had a lot of gold, you were weathly which is a good thing. Glory: Every group of people who found new lands wanted to be seen by the royals. They would come in and make presentations to be sponsored by the royals. If they got sponsors the

Causes and consequences

This was based on the age of exploration. It just makes us recognize that our actions have an impact. Good or bad. Our main assignment on this was a padlet. It is a website that makes boards and you just put in your idea and it organizes it.

The story mountain ⛰️

So we had to write a story about a traveller that traded. Sounds pretty fun, doesn’t it. I added a bit of my imagination to it and then Ms Madsen had to get me to change a couple of things.  But that’s ok. Thennnn we had to make a video with AR Makr. I don’t like that app (I hope we don’t have to use it again). While we have the video going, we have to voice over and read the story. My story’s real long so if you’re wondering, that’s why it’s 3 minutes😉.

Ending

This is the end of my post. It was very last minute becasue I don’t want Showbie to close on me. See ya!
