What’s the Word Around Town- Whistler

Reflection

a. I was easily able to identify how the geography impacts the town in a couple of ways. I was able to identify those ways by using all my notes from previous classes, I also researched on the internet some of the information I used, and finally I have been there a couple times so that helped me understand more about the community especially the economy aspect.

b. I built my project using the backwards design by started with quite broad ideas and created point forms for the information I was going to use in my descriptions. While dreaming of the future I would say it definitely helped me better when I understood more about the physical features and the activities already there. Overall, I was quite happy with the economic activities I thought of for the future especially the fancy restaurant on top of Alpine Mountain.

c. I was very happy with the overall result of my project, I was pleased with all of my pictures, information, icons, and I also colour coded the different categories the make it more organized.

d. I would refine my project differently in the future by trying to put less bullets but besides that I was overall quite satisfied with the end result.

Speech unit Reflection

  1. One thing that I learned from this unit that I would use again is, the way Mr. Penk taught us to structure our speeches. Why I chose this is because I found this method to be helpful and easy to put my thoughts together in a way that I understood and hopefully my classmates as well.
  2. I chose the Destiny discover work cited tool because this tool was the one that the teachers explained the best and it was easy for my to navigate and transfer my information in and out of.
  3. I found that the websites were the most helpful for my research because the topic that I chose mostly contained information that was useful in a variety of websites. I didn’t use books and database sites because there were no books available on my topic and database sites did not contain information that was useful.
  4. One thing I think I can do to improve my research skills is try and to look for multiple websites for information instead of just using 1 or 2 websites.
