The new and improved Tpol’s
Hello and welcome to the new and improved Tpol, and what is that? Well as you know at the end of each term we have SLC’s which is when the student being I present a presentation to our teachers and parents about what we have learned and such. And we have been doing this since grade eight and always with the same structure but this time around as everything is getting wrapped up its changed. They are now Transitional Presentation of Learning. Where we answer the question why should I be in the next grade level. So without further to do here is my presentation:
To start it of I will be talking about my growth as a learner. I feel that I have improved in all of my subjects just because I have been trying really hard this year. That shows in my math I think because I have never been good at math and I’m still not great at it but I have really tried. And that shows in the project we did called the game of life where we were given certain aspects of a life as we get older and then figur out the math behind it. Now at times it may have confused me but overall I did enjoy that project and hade a fun time learning from my mistakes.
I think that my growth as a learner is also shown humanities. The reason for that is I have really to listen and hand in work on time wth it also being at or above standard. And those this might not always be the case I try to make it the case. That is shown for humanities in my video on New France and Jean Talon. Now this may not have been a huge project but I was proud of how it ended up and that’s how I want all my work to work out. To be that I am proud of it and I can get it in on time. And that is actually my goal for next year, to have the work that I do on time and above standard throughout the year.
What I am most proud of. Now this I have a couple of things because I have really tried hard this year but what I’m proud of the most is my video on Making Fantasy Real. I loved the experience of going to Florida and not only Disney world but just in general. Also I feel that it really improved from the first draft from the last draft.
Then there is the work that demonstrates just me in general as a student. Overall from last year to this year I think that I have improved and just generally become a better team player. For example just between Destination Imagination regionals and provincials. To prepare for regionals along with my teammates we had many arguments over what to do. That was from the disappearing to the script and what we could and could not say within the dialogue. And when we went we didn’t do amazing, I mean we got second out of two teams. But then once that was done we started preparing for provincials and though this may have had its ups and downs I feel that overall individually and as group we started to work together more and communicate better. Plus though we didn’t place at provincials I stil, feel that overall the quality of the work was a lot better and if we had a bit more time and looked over the little details a bit more we would have done amazing! And though in the past it’s been at times difficult to work in groups just because of the differing opinions and leadership roles I feel that I myself has improved to be more open and a lot of the time it works out better.
Overall I feel that if you were look at me in September and now you would see that I’m not the same. That I have matured and am focusing hard on school and trying hard and that it has worked out for the most part. And though I may have a long way to go I want to keep trying and advance to grade ten so that eventually I can graduate and go on to do something though I’m not sure what yet.
