My Grade 9 Year

My Grade 9 Year was a tough transition from middle school to high school. The random move to becoming more independent was challenging at the start, but near the end of the semester my time management became stronger and my independence grew. I had to fill in my usual leisure time with homework or studying. At the start of the semester, I dreaded the fact that I would have to spend my time doing homework rather than other things however this important switch of focus helped my get work done. FLEX blocks have engraved a huge reliance in me as I count on those FLEX blocks to help me complete work. I enjoy the choice of being able to decide on courses that aren’t connected with curricular because this gives me something to look for and enjoy throughout the day. When I first came to the Centennial school in Grade 9, I felt like the school was a very complicated maze to navigate through. This was a tough challenge because I had to discover where my 4 blocks are. I mistakenly went to a wrong classroom which was very embarrassing. This helped me realize how important it is to plan out where courses are before hand. Planning ahead is a new skill that I honed to perfection. In order to properly hand in projects before the due date, I would need to decide when I can fit time in my schedule to work/study. This year I enjoyed the freedom of being able to become more independent to the point where homework seems enjoyable. Homework has never been enjoyable before. Some of my strengths is my ability to overcome tough situations. Like incoming tests which I don’t have a strong understanding in (I would study the next day or that night). Some of my stretches are: Being on task during school hours. Some times I goof off with my friends. It’s a bad habit that I’m working on fixing. I am very proud of myself for passing all my courses.

Math has been a tough class/course as I have been having homework nearly every day even though I get much done during school hours. FLEX has helped on occasions however, when I need more practice or help, I can try IXL questions that also tell me how to properly solve the equation if I were to get the equation incorrect. IXL can help me understand the curricular in the next few grades which can help me a ton. Overall, I recommend IXL to anyone who is struggling in math or to whoever wants to get ahead of the curricular assigned in their current grade. IXL also offers sciences which can boost not only your math capability but also your science capability. Sadly, IXL isn’t free, you must pay a membership fee to sign up.

This map of Canada represents my projects on Geography. In Socials, we were allowed to choose a town in Canada and list the climate, terrain and the culture there. It was a big project that allowed me to learn more about towns on the other side of where I live in this country. The town I chose was Montreal. Something that I found out was that the reason why it gets cold at around winter season is because of the cold artic are that gets blown to us. Very fascinating once I found out this fact since I have been wondering why.

A Useful Educational Quote

“Success doesn’t come to you, you’ve got to go to it” This is a useful quote because to be successful, you can’t wait for it to come around; you must work for it and earn it. This was my motivation to do my best in all my courses these semesters.

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertising Reflection

A) An advertising technique I used was the Special offer. I used this technique by adding signs that said, “Free shipping” and “30% off”.

B) I used bright/neon colors in my advertisement because it looks eye catching and pleasant to look at.

C) Somethings that others should know about advertising is that to get consumers, you need to grab their attention by using bright and deals/offers to gain active consumers.

Core Competency Reflection

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… When I saw that they had a very catchy name for the product that they were advertising. I decided to add a catchy name to my advertisement.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are… Using bright colors to attract a bigger crowd of people.

Is Violence Justified During a Revolution?

A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project 

AI assisted me in this project by providing me information specifically on the cons of violence being used in a protest or revolution and the end results. I gather the information from co-pilot and cited the sources from co-pilot. I put the information into my words.

B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI 

I rephrased the information that co-pilot gave me and I made sure to cite the sources that co-pilot was using.

C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not? 

I agree with the position I was defending because violence should never be okay to use as a form of being able to be heard. I can understand and feel how the pros for violence could be okay and how they are some what understandable but, I understand the cons more than the pros.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to work collaboratively with people who I do not know well I… introduce myself and decide on roles and how to split the work up evenly. I provide my knowledge to my peer if the information is required for the assignment. If my peer does not understand the assignment I can tell them the instructions on how to be successful. I stay on task leading to productive, detailed and hard working looking work. If my peer refuses to get the work done in time and does not do their part, I inform the teacher about what is going on.

Examples of when I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen when… I list all the cons on the subject ‘Is violence ever justified during a revolution or protest.’ I clearly state the reasons why violence is not justified and I state my opinion on how we should protest. I state facts and statistics on how non-violent protests work better than violent protests.
