Social Studies 10 Reflection

1920’s Scrapbook Project

Self Reflection

This scrapbook project showcases my research and technology skills. My project is an example of my critical and reflective thinking skills. I choses to reflect on this project because I am proud of it. I learned about importance events and inventions dream this project.

Core Competency Reflection

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. I found the 1920’s very interesting and I was able to find interesting topics and research them. I am also able to educate others on these topics now.

I can tell the difference between facts and opinions. I showed this by finding reliable websites to use for research.

I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head. I have been interested on the history of insulin for a long time now and this project was the perfect time for me to lure about it.

I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. I was open to helping others in their projects and offered supportive and constructive feed back.

PHE 10 AH Reflection

My Artifact

I fell happy and tired today

Personal Health and Wellness

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I do some form of exercise. When I am sad, mad or stressed I will play lacrosse to help me recorrect my mood. Exercise helps me physical and mentally. Exercise is a way for my to get away from what ever is making me sad, mad, or stressed. To stay mentally and physically healthy I play sports because they are a distraction.

Core Competency Reflection

I understand that learning is continuous and my identity will continue to evolve. I try my hardest so I will get better and will further my learning.

I find it easy to be part of a group. I like working with a team. For example in team sports I do really well like football.

I work with others to achieve a goal. In badminton I worked well with Chazai to progress further and develop my skills more to win.

I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share in team sports. For example in Basketball I worked with different people to succeed in the game.

The Simpsons

My Analysis

Creating and Communication

In this unit we learned the definition of irony, satire, and allusion. We were also shown an example of how they are used. I used examples from the Simpsons to support my points. An example of this would be when I was talking about irony I gave the example of Homer being thrown out of his burning house then landing on a mattress and sousing back into the house. I had a strong introduction sentence and used the “less is more” rule.

Core Competency Reflection

I can describe how satire, irony and/or allusion relates to my day to day life. An examples of this would be when I am having a conversation with my friends, watching tv shows, and lessening to music. I am sarcastic a lot and that is a form of irony.

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is that I’m using what I learned in class to improve my writing. Example of this is indenting when I start a paragraph and writing notes on a separate piece of paper before I start writing.

I seek, develop and weigh options as demonstrated by this piece of writing. we were asked to find 3 examples of irony, satire, and allusion in the Simpsons and I choses one from the 3 and used it in my writing to support my points and make it stronger.

Art Studio Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking

Sketchbook Cover: this is a project I did in my Art Studio class

This project demonstrates my Creative Thinking. With this project we were supposed to design our Sketchbook Cover to represent us. My cover shows the things I am interest in and my personality. I am able to create new ideas and turn them into new things. I am able to learn about things that interest me. New ideas also pop into my head and I write them down and corporate them into my art work. with this project and with all projects I expect setbacks and struggle, but I use those to develop and improve my work.

My Sketchbook Cover shows and demonstrates Creative Thinking the best out of all my projects. I had to find a way to incorporate my interest in with what I like. I like a lot of thinks that don’t necessary go to weather like space and music. I made this interests work together by using music notes as stars.

Media Fluency Reflection

1. How was the ease of access in building your flipbook, despite this being the free and limited version of the software? It was a good even with the limited version of the software. I would like it to be easer to manipulate but it still worked well for me.

2. Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment? I believed I was able to do so to the best of my ability’s with the knowledge I have. The flipbook turned out the way I planned it to with focusing o what needed to be done.

3. What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook? The sources I used are also on my flipbook.

4. Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain. I believe flipsnack was the best software I could use for what I had in mind . My flipbook turned out the way I wanted it to and flipsnack was fun to use. I love to try out new softwares when I have the chance to do so.

My storyboard

Tim Burton, in Edward Scissorhands, used Edward scaring Kim scene to introduce Kim into the movie and to show that Kim has the most real reaction compared to everyone ells in

order to show that Kim has the most real reaction to anyone ells in the movie and to show the connection Kim and Edward share in order to achieve the purpose of showing Kim’s unique personality to the audience. For example, in my

own interpretation, I ­­­­­­­changed how the characters looked to fit with the technology/programming I could use on the website i used to create this storyboard.

Because the website did not have a person with scissors as hands to use as Edward and so I used lighting as the scissors because I could not find scissors and that is only one thing I changed but I will not say any more things I changed because it is strait forward to find what I changed if you washed the movie and if you did not watch the movie Edward Scissorhands I suggest you do. The cinematic choice of this carton is as similar to the original movie as I could make it .

This adaptation from film to visual novel taught me that there is a lot more than I expected that go’s in to a movie than I thought like how everything has to be in a perfect place and angel and how there is so much editing just to make one picture in a carton and then there is so much more editing in a movie. Making a movie takes so much work and I only made one scene from a movie and it took a lot of work. The interpretation / viewpoint / technical elements are not all there in my carton but I did my best with the website I was given to use and the time line I had. thank you for taking your time to read my blog about my English 9 assignment .

Most challenging foods lab

This is a veggie pot pie. It smelled like cooked veggie and pastry. It looked like a pot pie but some of the filling came out onto the top. You could hear the filling bubbling. The veggie pot pie tasted like it was veggie soup for the filling and the biscuit tasted exactly like it should. It was warm, the pastry was flaky, the filling was creamy. I chose this as the most challenging foods lab because we had to make a biscuit and the filling, and we had to make sure everything was cooked all the way through, but it trend out good. Yes we meet the product standards for this dish because the biscuit was flaky and savoury. The filling meet the product standards because it was creamy and the veggies were cooked all the way through. The preparations for this dish went well.

Most successful foods lab

We made a Mac and cheese tocos. You could smell the cheese and ground beef. It looked like a toco and looked appealing. As you took a bite you could here the toco shell crunch. It tasted Mexican, it was really tasty. The shell was hard and the Mac and cheese was creamy. It was amazing to see how well it turned out. I chose this for my most successful foods lab because it tasted so good and it was hard but turned out good. The finale product was good because we each did are part and we had grate communication. We meet the product standers for this because it tasted Mexican, hard shell, soft inside, and looked appealing. The challenges we had to faces were cooking with raw meet and making sure we were all communicating with each other. The final product was so much better than expected, we dint know if it would taste good together, but we took a chance and it was amazing.

Favourite foods lab

This is a thin crust skillet pizza that me and my partner made. It smelled like tomatoes and cheese. It looked really appealing, and tasted grate, it looked exactly like it should, and tasted exactly how I like it. The crust was thin and crunchy, the toppings were yummy and nicely cooked. When we took out the pizza it you could hear it cracking, when that happens it means it is done. The challenging part was Getting the dough to the right thickness. We overcome this by asking questions and asking for help when we need it. The communication was really good in this lab. With out good communication this pizza would not have been as good as it was. This is my favourite foods lab because I love pizza and it was so fun to make. I am vary happy we made pizzas, now I can cook them at home for my family.
