Some of the ways I work to to build and maintain school relationships is by making sure I’m always somehow in contact with that person or at least talking in person from time to time
Some ways that I can improve my work habits for socials study 10 is spending more time on my work out of school and taking more time and using new ways to remember things for tests / quizzes
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully would be when we had the indigenous trade activity where i communicated with other classmates to trade materials.
By focusing on my work in the classroom, I make a positive difference to my peers because I am not disrupting others who are also trying to do their work during class time.
One goal I have for myself for “Some ways that I can improve my work habits for next year in Social Studies 10 are…” is to test myself every once in a while during our summer break this year.
I can identify my strengths and limits, find internal motivation, and act on opportunities for self-growth
For this assessment, I was able to find where I messed up and fixed those mistakes. I know where i can find my temporary limits and put those aside for the time being, I was able to find my own motivation after completing each problem on the assignment.
Is Violence Justified During a Revolution or Protest
In this project I used Ai for some of the topics. More specifically, I used Perplexity.ai to find some of the topics to use during this argument.
I ensured that my AI use was still my own work by only taking topics and citations, not the actual paragraph that it wrote.
I agree mostly with my position because you don’t hear about many peaceful protests but violent protests get a lot more attention and you hear about more, one great example is the French Revolution.
Core Competency Reflection
A few core competencies i used were communication and critical thinking
I used communication during making the podcast, I also used it when talking with my partner about the project. I used critical thinking while thinking about what to write for the script and rebuttal.
One of my favourite things about grade 9 and high school in general was that i could go anywhere during lunch break, really one of the most different parts from middle school.
Something else that’s different from middle school is having to go to different classes after each block. Another thing like that is booking flex online since flex used to just be catching up on missed work from other subjects in you class back in middle school.
I feel that my strengths this year is handing in work on time more than last time since I used to not hand in much work. Also this year, my goal was to learn one new language or learn more words in the languages I know, I don’t think I achieved the first part but I learned new words in the languages I already know.
Wikipedia might not be my most used website for school, but it was useful when I needed. Having so much information from many ages of the world can help throughout all of school in all subjects. Another website that’s extremely useful is Youtube having millions of informational videos.
A Useful Video
The reason why i picked this video is because it wasn’t just informational, it added some newer comedy for this generation. This persons channel has many of these types of videos, the reason I picked this one specifically is because it helped me learn more algebra during my math unit. The video shown everything in a simple showing base uses and not anything out there.
A Useful Image
I picked this image because it helped throughout our chemistry unit in science during 1st semester.
An Inspirational quote
“Quitting means you wont reach your goals”
This quote I found a while ago on the internet, my guess for what it means is that if you decide to quit working on your goals, how would you know if you reach them. I dont know the name of who said the quote so that’s why the name is blank.

One of the strengths I had was knowing what to improve in the poem. meaning I could make sure it was how I wanted it to be.
I feel like because I kept updating the poem I had less time to memorize it. I also feel like this made it where I had less time to see what gestures or body language I can use. Another weakness i felt like i had was that i didnt do the best job while speak at the front of the class. As I mentioned I didnt use much body language and something i can work on in the future.
Core Competency Self Reflection
My priorities for the last few weeks are getting everything done and making sure all my leftover work has better grades than my other work from this class. Hopefully I can complete it all before the semester ends.
The technique I used for this ad is name calling, calling out Burger King for their burgers, saying that the King could never make a better burger. The reason I picked these colours is because the colours clash well together. the reason I used red is because it stands out from the poster, almost attacking you eyes, in a good way though. One thing that other people should know about Ads is that all of them have a way of making you try to buy or know about their topic.
Core Competency Reflection
Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are using new ways to make decorations for the poster. Using the limited amount of shapes to make decorations. This might be one of the best things I’ve learned for making decorations.
I used to think that no work or clever ideas gets put into advertisements. And now I know lots of creative ideas can be put into ads because of this project. Who knew that there were so many ways of making an ad.
Japan’s schools are way different than schools in Canada. All schools are built the same for both interior and exterior in Japan, Plus all school kids wear the same uniform all day, down to their lunch kits. All of the students lunches are supplied from the school and made everyday. There are also no janitors in Japanese schools, all of the students help clean up around the end of the day.
Another thing that would shock people is the way the students go to school. All students, young to old, take public transport (bus/ train) to school or walk. the reason why i say that this might shock people is because the crime rate/ kidnapping rate is way higher than Japan. they have way more strict rules over there about these things.
i picked tanuki because it reminds me of the Mario power up from some of the games. I also picked it because i know a lot about it and that I find it interesting from the video that we watched in class
The Tanuki act almost the same as a kitsune, being tricksters and pranking humans and can change shape into other things. tanuki are racoon dogs that are mostly found in mountains and forests throughout Japan. They are carnivores that feed on small animals in the wild and also drink alcohol from time to time.
‘I say that the monsters in western cultures do differ a lot than the yokai in Japan because the yokai are more like spirits instead of one off stories made by people in the past. The same can be said with mythical creatures created from stories from the older days since most people only know the mythical ones as myths and not real. It has been said that some Yokai are real and that’s what sets the difference for me.
I believe that some yokai might exist in real life, some i feel like may exist are the Tanuki, kappa and more. ive seen what some of these look like in pictures and seen them realistically in them.

Personal/ Social Competency Reflection
I know that if my Digital footprint isn’t well, I might not be able to get hired at some places or might get attacked online/ be cancelled for things I’ve said. By helping people online, I can make a positive difference to my peers. The reason I say because helping people is a good deed for people. Not everyone is smart with things online (ex. elder people). I make digital ethical choices such as making sure i know that I’m going to post or say online. if I don’t check my posts it could backfire or it could be about something highly sensitive to a group of people.
The age I was when I started to do chores was around ten years old cleaning the door knobs since covid was going around and we had to disinfect anything that could get some bacteria on it. Next, I started to vacuum upstairs where all our rooms are. Once I became 13 I had to start mopping around the house and washing the cars sometimes. Once I had to clean up our mercedes after a long road trip, that cleaning took a few hours since he wanted a deep clean on the car.
My first time going somewhere by myself was walking to school back in grade 5. we moved closer to my elementary school which allowed me to walk a smaller distance than from my old house. After a while I biked from there and back. Once I got into middle school I started just walking since its way easier than bringing my bike. The first time I used transit by myself was back in grade 7. I used to walk up to the bus stop near my house and went to Lougheed station, after that I would take the SkyTrain to Burnaby and work with my dad at his mechanic shop. Last summer break I used to do that each day and went to other places around Lougheed and Brentwood malls.
Ever since my dad opened his own mechanic shop in Burnaby. i was there at least every week or two, especially during the summer breaks trying to make some money working over there. even if he was eating in the break room, I was in the main room taking calls and helping people pay with the orders.
i think if people act the same in Canada the same as how people act in Japan, parents might be less scared letting them go to places outside by themselves. because of the crime rate in these western countries is way higher that Japan, that’s the reason why parents are anxious if there kids get kidnapped or worse. It can even happen to older people, not just young kids.
