Change makers

The best project i did this school year was change makers Walt Disney world, not just because of the fact that it was in Disney, but it was mostly because i got to talk to a lot of interesting people in the parks not just cast members and imagineers but also park guests in line, i also made friends with a lot more people in plp like some people before the trip i may of only had one conversation with them but with this project it get you to talk to a lot of people, for this project we had to make a video over our trip using video clips and photos that we took, we also had to have an interview (I interviewed an imagineer), in that video I had to show how imagineers using design are able to make long lasting experiences and rides while not breaking the magic, over all i had such a blast over that trip even tho we had to wake up at 6 most days.

Spring exhibition/ definitely not the 51st stare post,

To start off i want to name somethings that i think have improved over my grade 10 school year, the skill that i have definitely improved on this year is my public speaking skills and how i can memorize my work easier so it’s actually public speaking and not public reading (as Ms.Madsen says), some evidence of this is definitely not the 51st state in that I had to present a project on what Canadian identity means, so we did some research on what we thought our answer was, then we had to present In front of only half of the class,

Going off the project (definitely not the 51st state) we had our spring exhibition which i hope you were all there for to see my awesome costume, i had to do lots of public speaking there as well in front of a bunch of parents and, for this project we had to do research on a topic of our choosing in groups of three, the topic we chose was green peace, during this project we had to make signs are make costumes on who we did I our research on, i researched bob hunter so i learn what he did for a living what his connection to green peace and what his journey as a peace keeper, after we knew who we would be playing we made a small script around 2 mins long and we presented our draft, during the exhibition we also had to learn a dance choreography as that was the big part to our exhibition 🕺

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

The project i could of improved the most on this year is going to be the DI tournaments, not because we didn’t have a good script but because one of our main elements decided to fail half way through the first one and in the second one it was a little weak, for my last DI ever, i got put in to the science group with some of my class mates and two grade nines, we had all made a pretty solid script together and we had thought almost everything out, for our key element we chose elephant tooth paste but we didn’t think to try it out before our presentation And it didn’t go off, 

For the second half of our DI tournament we had just gone a little simpler with coke and mentos, but the second time we presented our team went from 6 to 4 almost cut in half, and again in the last second we forgot that the person who was ment to set off the coke and mentos wasn’t there and we had to stall for a while while i tried to get it to go off, another thing we messed up on was the time we had our instant challenge and again only me and one of my team mates showed up to that even still with our team cut in half again we scored a 90%, and on our performance we scored a 87%, giving us second place out of 6 teams, 

Hey Boomer 💥

Welcome to another one of my blogs by the one and only Logan Muller (hold for applause),

for the hey boomer project we had to watch a movie a classic movie staring Toby Maguire, pleasantville, we had to make a satire modernized version of the movie using real historical events and figures like Maurice Bouchard, one of canadas most famous hockey players, everyone had there own role ether as a prop/ sounds, an actor (i was an actor) or as a DRI,

there were five DRIs this project and everyone was a script writer my group of 4 people was in charge of writing act 3 scene 2 were the main characters find out there are no sports in the happy town which is what we called out play and the main character try’s to start a hockey team, once people find out everyone starts skipping class to go play hockey, hockey stores open up around the town but the principle of happy town high (there high school) hates the idea,

the role i was playing was called Alejandro, who’s was the auto shop mechanic (instead of the restaurant in the movie) i was one of the only people who got to do a accent while playing the role, I had to do a Spanish accent more from like the Spain then Mexico,

i had a few lines in the whole play i had around 8 or 9 when most people only got 1-2,

i think this was my favourite project that we had done so far as i got more “screen time” in this project, i think I displayed emphasis and lots of drama in this radio play.

Health ever after video post 🍏✨

For this project, we had to make a video on something related to health and important to us. The categories we could choose from were physical health, mental health, or health literacy. I, of course, chose physical health, as I’m trying to better myself.

After choosing our categories, we were split into groups based on those topics. This wasn’t a group project, though—everyone made their own video. Within those categories, we had to go even deeper. We had to create our own big idea.

Mine was: How can you work out without using weights, and is it better for you? I came up with the answer that working out without weights tends to engage your core and legs more than your upper body.

The video had to be between 1 and 2 minutes long. In the end, I finished my video with a deeper understanding of how muscles work in the body and what you can do to maintain them at peak performance.

Di provincial

for the last detonation imagination that i will ever do went really well compared to last year.

last year for my destination imagination i got put in the technical group and we had to build a pin ball machine and we did it out of just some wooden planks but it wast the best work that i have done, this year I had to do scientific challenge and for it we had to make a story were an explorer goes to an alien Planet and find out he isn’t alone on that planet, And in that story you have to have some sort of reaction of any kind, and a technobabble depicter, for the chemical reaction we first did elephants tooth paste but it was really under whelming so for the second time that we presented we decided to go with coke and mentoes and it went moderately high but it got us lots of points from the judges, for our technobabble depicter the first time we just didn’t have one because we didn’t have enough time to make one but for the second time that we presented we made a little box with lights inside and if you hold the wires in both hands then they light up but if the wires are together then they don’t light up so it looks like it makes you a part of its circuit,

and for the last part of our DI tournament we had to do our instant challenge, now I can’t say what it was as it would ruin the challenge behind it but we had a big miscommunication error in between us as a team and only me and one of my team mates were there to do it but we still got 90% of the total points posible in the end we got second in the first DI of the year and second in the second one, I think everyone in my team had a really fun time presenting together and to be honest im a little sad that was my last one but im going to be volunteering at DI 2026.

Peas in a pod cast post 🫛

For the project Peas in a Podcast, we had to make a podcast about something difficult we had to overcome, like a sports championship. I did mine on a trip I took to Europe in 2023 with my family. It was during that trip that we found out my brother, who was 9 at the time, had severe anxiety. We had to write the podcast script in third person, which was the first time I had ever written that way. We also learned about the elements that make a good podcast, such as recording in a quiet environment, using background music, and creating your own music from scratch using the instruments in GarageBand. Some key takeaways I got were to hold the iPad to the side of your face so you don’t accidentally blow air into the mic, to always—always—have background music so the audience doesn’t lose interest, and to include both an intro and an outro.

Mpol 2025 spring

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

To start things off, I’m going to be talking about some of the projects that we have done this school year, we have done peas in a pod cast, Ology of apology, swipe right for a tragedy which we preformed yesterday, the mentor for a day podcast, our Regional Destination Imagination, financing your future, atomic habits artifact, and tech tool box, I will explain some more about them in this presentation of my learning 

The latest projects that I have done to date is the swipe right for a tragedy, for this project we had to read romeo and Juliet, thankfully we weren’t made to read the entire book, but we did read a lot of the Scenes and act 1 through 5, I thought the book was a really nice read, it wasn’t that bad and we all got to do some acting we got roles at the beginning of the class for the characters in that scene and we put all of our chairs in to the centre and role played for the entire class, after we had finished reading we were taught what a parody is and once every one had gotten refreshed on that we got to start writing the modernized play, some people got different roles like some one got to be the main DRI and every other act had there own DRI and 3-5 writers working for two classes to make the script, I was in charge of act 3 scene 4 and 5, once most people had finished writing there scripts we all had a table reading to see if there was any continuity errors and to polish some of them up, after that we were only able to practice the complete script 2 times before we had to present, some of the days I came in to tutorial to help out the Romeo of the script, every one got assigned There own role from then on and yesterday day we got to present it and I have to say it was way better then the first group and they had a lot of time to practice, if I could improve on this project I would of made some of the script that I made a little clearer and shortened it to make it quicker because it was 4 mins long and we only have 30 mins in total to do the play.

Was the mentor for a day podcast, I think my father knows a little bit about this but we had to reach out to some one or a work place that we were interested in doing there profession so i got my dad to help me reach out to a company called Roman Metal works, because I want to be a metal worker and that’s what i talk about in the pod cast, so with the mentor that i needed I had to form some questions that i would ask some one there and put a recording of that in to my podcast, I got to interview the owner of the company and i asked questions like what is the hourly pay for a metal worker, what does he specialize in making, and if he had any tips for any one trying to start a Career in metal work and he said that the first two years are a little boring and you will only get to start doing fun projects after those two years so the company can get to see what your good at, with the recording of the questions I had to make the actual pod cast so I put some extra recordings about why i want to be a metal worker and the questions that I asked them, I also integrated some sound effects, if I could of changed anything i would of made it a little shorter because its around 7 mins which is the maximum but besides that i had an awesome time making the pod cast, 

This project isn’t that resent but its a good one, in maker we had to do a “tech tool box” and for this we had to show off some of our tech skills that we bring to the table because we have been in plp for 3 years now, we had a week to complete this, the skill that I showed off was my photo editing skills in photoshop here is the final project,

Another fun project that we had done Recently was the financing your future project and in this project I did miss a little because I was away with my family on a trip, but when we got back i got straight in to the project, and something i want expecting is that we would get to do a stock simulator in school, I did join that a little late but after the first day i was in 15th spot, i think some one said that there was a huge stock crash three days before so that’s why some people didn’t have a lot of money left even tho we started out with 10,000 and we got experiment with a real time simulator, and from that i found out that stocks are basically just gambling but over a longer period of time, after that we got assigned topics that we would have to present about in-front of half of The class, every one already got in to groups of two so I had to do it by myself 🙁 but I was gone for the start of the project so I guess that’s fare, the topic I was assigned was the ups and downs of credit cards, so I asserted to research that and make some slides for my presentation and i had finished my presentation the day before i had to present and when the presentation day came around there was a snow day ❄️, so i got to present three days later, and when I was presenting it was a little scary because I haven’t presented a project in-front of that many people since grade 7 but i still had to do it and i think my whole presentation was around 6-7 mins, and if i could change anything about my presentation is that I would of put more graphics on my slides and shown more of the benefits that certain cards give, 

This is my VMV of what i want to accomplish over the rest of the school year, I also have a copy of this on the main entrance to my house so that I’m always reminded about it, 

Di 2025 1/2 post

For the 2025 Provincial Destination Imagination Tournament, I got the science project. For it, we have to create a story about space explorers traveling to a new planet, with a twist—they’re not alone on the planet. In that story, we have to integrate two technical elements.

We chose to use elephant toothpaste and slides that come out of our Technobabble Depicter. The elephant toothpaste was a little weak, so for the next DI event, we are getting 20% hydrogen peroxide, which will make the experiment much more volatile and expand more—hopefully wowing the judges.

The whole process was a roller coaster, both in terms of the performance and our emotions while creating and performing the play. I can’t say much more about how we came up with our solution or our story, but in the next post, I’ll share a video of our performance. For now, here are some pictures of our equipment and play!

Ology Of apology

For this project I was away for the first half so i only had two weeks to start making the big picture but thankfully it was a group project and for the project we had to make a memorial of three events that happend in Canada, the Chinese head tax, komagata Maru, and Japanese interment, after i got that news I had to start reading a book called obasan and i had to get to chapter 25 in three days 😱, thankfully i was able to complete that task with flying colours, after i finished reading the book I started to get put in to my groups and i got assigned the project of making a memorial on the Komagata Maru, at the time i still didn’t know a crazy amount on it but i did know some facts n because i did a project on it in grade 4. once i had remembered what the Komagata Maru my group and I started to plan out how we we going to make the memorial and were it would go if it was made in reality, once we had a plan and a blue print on how it would look we went up to the teacher to get a final check so we could go out and get supply’s to make a small scale version of it after we had made it we got the other half of the PLP class to come and do a sort of gallery walk then they had to fill out ballots saying what they learned and what they really liked about the presentation,
