French 11 Movie Poster

For this project, my partners and I chose the movie Aladdin. I was able to be collaborative during this project with my partners, I communicated well and I asked questions when I needed clarification. We shared ideas with each other and helped each other with translating words and researching our movie. Writing the summary and character descriptions both required me to think creatively. I had to think about how to describe the characters and then translate all of them, as well as summarize the movie and figure out words I didn’t know.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

I learned about many Indigenous stereotypes and how Disney turned the story into a romance rather than real life which builds up stereotypes that are offensive toward the Indigenous community. In general, my reading and writing improved during the duration of this essay because I had to find sources, take valid information from the text, and blend quotes into my essay.

Core Competencies Reflection

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.

I had to write out a plan and then a draft for this essay and had to make sure it all flowed and had a paragraph about the similarities and one for differences. I planned everything out so that it would be easier to write and understand.

Computer Programming 11

In unit 5 we learned about pixels and colours. The most challenging assignment for me was the Image filter, I decided to do the blur to challenge myself and after a week or 2 I finally got it to work I had to take all the pixels, average them out and then make the surrounding pixels the average colour. I can ask open ended questions and gather information. I asked my peers for help on certain portions that I didn’t understand and they would point me in the right direction. I can experiment with different ways of doing things, I tried 2 or 3 different ways to do this and this is the one I understood the best and knew that it would work. I use my experiences with various steps and attempts to direct my future work. This assignment helped me overcome other challenges I had in other assignments. I enjoyed doing this assignment because while it did push me it was so fun to finally have if finished

The last unit we were working on was on graphics and animation. I found it challenging to fully understand the need for functions and how to recall them later on in the code. As I was doing this assignment I started to understand how if repeats when recalled to draw the thing it is coded to draw. During this course I have learned about algorithms, variables, calculating, binary, recursive, image processing and green screen. I think I do a good job of understanding the code and working through problems I may face.

I can get new ideas or build on other people’s ideas, to create new things within the constraints of a form, a problem, or materials

I can monitor my progress and adjust my actions to make sure I achieve what I want

I can consider more than one way to proceed an investigation
