Hello! This my is mom, Shannon Cheung
PoL Declaration
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.
It’s The End of The World as we know it 🌎💣
This was our first “project”. Our goal was to make a song using the song It’s the “End of the world as we know it’s instrumentals” and beats and make the lyrics about our transition from Elementary school to High School. My group was Julia and Sam. Here’s our final Music Video!
The Book of the Lion📖🦁
This book that we had to read for humanities was called the Book of the Lion. It was quite honestly one of the worst books I’ve ever read. It was so boring and the theme didn’t call to me. It was about the Crusades and the main character was a guy who fought in the Crusades named Edmund. This book was so sexist and boring it’s everything a book SHOULDN’T BE.
Working with Words🏋️🔤
This project was really hard because we had to write poems about our worldview, like haikus, metaphorical poems, simile poems and etc. I hate writing poems because I like expressing myself in different ways. After we finished all our poems we made a digital book using Book Creator. The only thing I liked was the customization of the book because we got to choose the fonts, and colours of your book.
Winter Exhibition❄️🗻
This was by far my favourite project of the semester. The goal was to make a triptych, which is a 3 piece picture. We had to do 3 scenes to show our knowledge of Medieval, Renaissance, and Contemporary history. For the medieval scene. My group was pretty good, and I got closer with my friends. I think our triptych was amazing and I was so proud of everything we did.
My Growth as a Learner📈🤓
I think I definitely grew as a learner, because at the beginning of the year I used to not give my projects my all, but now I put as much work into my projects as I can. I also used to be very against projects by myself
Going to tutorial
I think to grow as a learner a lot, I need to go to tutorial more often to catch up on work that I’m behind on, especially if I missed a few days. Tutorial is super important because you need to catch up on work that you have missed, or if you just fell behind.
Science
For science this semester, we had Ms. Kadi who is such an amazing teacher! She teaches well, while also being kind and making the class have a fun and safe environment. She always makes every single class fun and entertaining, while still being educational. The first project was to make a video game to show our knowledge of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. I chose to do a fun task game, you can check the game and how I made it here. Now we are learning about cells and we get to use microscopes to see organisms!
Humanities
We had a ton of teachers for Humanities so I’ll name them all. Right now we have Ms. McWilliam who is a lot of fun and is really interesting to listen to. We had Ms. Madsen who is so funny and amazing and she taught really well. Next we had Ms. Willemse who was amazing at teaching and makes the class laugh a lot. Humanities is probably the hardest PLP class, and the reason why I hate being sick, because one class, and you’ve fallen behind. Still the projects were still really fun!
Maker!
This was one of my favourite PLP classes (we only have 3) but it was still really fun. Mr Harris taught us how to use Keynote and we made super cool things like a custom Nike shoe, and other stuff!
