“The sun’s gonna rise tomorrow”

Hey Boomer 📻

Telling a story in front of a live audience is hard (like we did in Romeo and Juliet) but telling one through radio is harder. With radio the viewer can only hear your voice. You have to make sure when you tell your story you are descriptive, and emphasize emotion in your voice. In this…

Ology of Apology

We have all heard the saying those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it, but why only learn it? In this project we learned about the wrongs of the past, committed by the Canadian government, in BC. We then took that knowledge and created a memorial to commemorate and apologize for the events…

Romeo and Juliet

What do you get when a class of grade 10’s create a parody of Romeo and Juliet? Well, you get an entertaining play full of brainrot. In this project we read, watched and analyzed Romeo and Juliet. Then we created our very own version! This project was one of my favourites. We were able to…

Saving Juno Beach

What does service mean? When thinking about the Canadian soldiers who fought during WWII, they left their friends, their family, they left everything. They risked everything for their country’s freedom. This project allowed us to commemorate and honour their service. Through learning what happened during the war, completing an act of service ourselves, and writing…

The World Needs More Canada, Eh 🇨🇦

German Nationalism 🇩🇪

Have you ever tried watching a history video on YouTube? If you have, you know its usually very fast paced with a middle aged man as the host. In this project, I wanted to change that. I had to create a 4 minute YouTube video on German nationalism. In this project I learned a lot…

Rise of the Frankenstuffies

With a mix of a stuffed giraffe, mouse, and duck, I created my frankenstuffie named Jackson. Jackson is a 10 year old boy from Chicago, who loves peanut butter. The idea of Jackson came to me when I was craving a PB&J sandwich. Now you may be wondering why I am talking about a stuffie…

Getting Riel 🇨🇦📜

Who was Louis Riel? Louis Riel was a Canadian, Métis man who fought for the rights of his people. He was a brave confident man who helped give the Métis people a voice. In this project, we were assigned to create a multi-paragraph response, about Louis Riel. We were to answer the question: How has…
