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…

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…

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…

Definitely Not the 51st State 🇨🇦

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…

Hey Boomer! 📻

Project Overview In PLP 10 Humanities, we’ve been focussing on satire and irony—specifically from the 1950s to now. To learn about this, we did a bunch of different things like watching historical videos and documentaries, taking notes, and even watching some funny little satire clips and movies. One of the biggest things we did though…

Swipe Right For Tragedy 🥀

For our latest Humanities project, we took on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet—but with a twist. The driving question was: “How do we use parody to bring the themes of Romeo & Juliet to a modern audience?” Instead of a traditional approach, we turned it into a modern-day parody, complete with Snapchat, hockey sticks, and even…

MPOL 2025

Welcome to my 2025 MPOL! Today I will be answering the driving question: How can I push myself out of my comfort zone to take more risks and achieve more depth in my learning? The Year Of Growth This year has been all about growth—figuring out my strengths, pushing myself out of my comfort…

Keeping History Alive Through Memorials

Our most recent project in Humanities 10 was called Ology Of Apology, it was a super interesting project where we learned about Canadian History, and what it truly means to keep an apology alive. What Does It Mean to Apologize? Apologies aren’t just about saying “sorry.” A real apology acknowledges past mistakes, takes responsibility, and…
