Learning Intention-The Great Debaters

Holy talidis, I am a little nervous for our new humanities project, which also happens to be our winter exhibition project. Now you may be wondering… what am I even talking about? We’re doing debate, real debate, in front of people… Public speaking has never been my strongest thing. My palms get sweaty, my knees…

Fallout² Wrap Up Reflection Post 💣

Welcome back to my blog. It’s kinda crazy that this project is already wrapping up because it feels like we just started talking about fear, the Cold War, and everything that came with it. Now that I’m looking back on all the work we did, I can actually see how much I learned and how…

🧠 Adopting an Anthropological Perspective

What I Understand So Far Before this project, I honestly didn’t know much about anthropology at all. I knew it had something to do with people and culture, but that was about it. Now I’ve learned that anthropology is basically the study of humans: how people live, think, and see the world. Anthropologists look at…

Fallout ☢️ Learning Intentions

Driving Question: How did fear shape the politics, culture, and beliefs of the Cold War world — and how does its influence still shape us today? I’m superduper excited to start this new project, World on the Edge. It connects to my last project, The Manhattan Project, where I focused on how the world reacted…

Truth Before Reconciliation Post

When I first saw BCFP on my course list, I didn’t really think much of it. I figured I already knew the basics. But after just one project, it became pretty clear I didn’t. This course has already shown me that there’s a lot we were never taught, especially about the land we live on…

One Silent Flash with Endless Consequences 💥

This is my reflection on our first Humanities project of the year: The Manhattan Project! For this project, we read, watched, listened, and took a lot of notes to build enough knowledge to create short but effective animated videos. 🎥 My Final Animated Video: What This Project Taught Me At the start of grade 11,…

The Manhattan Project 💣

via GIPHY The Project: We’re kicking off the year with the Manhattan Project and Hiroshima. I didn’t know much before, but that makes me excited to learn, and after reading through the project guide, I am looking forward to gaining insight into the areas I’m curious about. The part that caught my curiosity right away…

TPOL: Why I am Ready for Grade 11 ☀️

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 my opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening…

Definitely Not the 51st State 🇨🇦

Driving Question: How does sharing stories help us build the “just society” we aspire to be? This project was about exploring Canadian identity and how stories shape the kind of society we want to live in. Canada’s made up of so many cultures and experiences that there’s no “one” definition of what it means to…

Changemakers: Accessibility at Disney 🎆🏰

For my Changemakers project, I focused on accessibility — how Disney designs its parks to be welcoming and inclusive for everyone. Going to the parks showed me how much thought they put into even small details: things like the pavement textures, signs in different languages, calming music, and ramps that just blend in naturally. I…
