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 of I would like to talk about the project that I think I could have improved on the most out of all of them this school year, the project that I’m talking about is my Frankein stuffie. It’s not because of how my stuffed “animal” turned out if you can even call it an animal, but its the video that I had to make on it using the basic hero’s journey story. Some of the things that I could have maybe changed is that I could have done a little bit better on the green screen for Jeremy (My stuffed animal). Like on most of the film you can see the green outline on him and on me when I was in the story I could have gone back in the end and cut out the most amount of green that I could have. Something else that bothered me in the end is that I misspelt beginning somehow. I wasn’t focused enough and I spelt it “beginig” missing the last N. In general, I think that I could have done better by my standards and by the teacher’s standards.
Another thing that I sort of failed the first time was my DI group because in the first quarter of the project I hadn’t really helped out my group then one of my team members saw me goofing off and not really contributing then after I talked with him I started to help out a lot more with my group and in the first part of DI, I’m not completely sure what place we got for DI but I’m pretty sure we didn’t do too well so for the next half of DI, I was trying to help out my team by coming up with ideas on how to extend the script and helping Magnus actually have a costume since last time we were mostly focused on the machine and on the script that we sort of forgot our costumes and he just wore a tan shirt and pants so for the next Time I helped him make a turtle shell and a mask for his costume to be complete.
Some of the projects that I had lots of fun whilst doing them are my Franken stuffie. And yes, I know that I was just talking about all of the things that I could have changed as a learner doing the project but I had lots of fun making the Franken stuffie. I had learned how to sew things together and in the project the standard was that you had to sew 3 parts of random stuffed animals but I was doing it with one of my friend and I was having such a good time doing it so I added 5 parts to my animal.
Another project that I had a load of fun doing was my metaphor machine because I had to make a Rube Goldberg machine and I had done this in the past in my old elementary school. But we only made a drawing of it so we didn’t make it in elementary so I was so glad that I got the chance to make one with some of my class mates, I think that that project might have been one of the best projects that I have done in a group we got Russia and we had to do lots of research and we had to know the whole October revolution and we had to make a sign with a Timeline and the key points after that with the newly found information we had to make a metaphor machine which is a Rube Goldberg machine with seven metaphors from the October revolution the one that I came up with was the first thing that we put in our machine at it was the old ruler stepping down and his son stepping up to the role so for this I came up with the design of a pulley system so the ball goes in to one cup and another out the other cup. After that we all came up with a script to make like a video documentary with all of us in it and we had to dress up as a Russian peasant back then since that was what our research came up with the most and we all had roles in this project like script writer head design engineer and videographer the role that I chose what designer engineer so I had every one send me their designs for their part of the machine and I had to find out a way to connect them in the end I had to put them in historical order and that took a really long time to complete, in the end with the design that I made for the machine we started to build it and we presented to all of the parents and everyone in my group had a good time doing this project.
Some of the other things that have helped my learn a lot was the loon lake trip that we took an the thing that I had learned the most on that trip is trust in my teammates/Classmates because we had to do a lot of team building exercises like a trust fall of a chair on a table and a rope course 15 feet in the air ( it might be more I’m not sure). Another project That I had learned from was take your kid to work day video because I had learned what my dad does in a day and I also learned a little on how to use an app called Auto CAD which will hopefully come handy in collage.
One of the last things that I would like to talk about for my Mpol is my learning plan and for my parents who don’t know what that is, it’s my plan for what I want my Grades to be for the school year and for my learning plan I had put my grades as Humanities proficient, science extending, and so far I have a proficient in science and a developing in humanities and to fix this in my learning plan I put that I would try to focus in my classes and and try to participate with my class mates more and try to participate more in class like say the teacher asks if some one know anything about british nationalism then i could put up my hand and say something about it.
