My First Year

This year I enjoyed coming to school in an unfamiliar environment as a grade 9. I have met new people and become friends with people in different classes. It was weird to transition to high school with only four subjects every day in the same class for the semester, but the schedule is much easier to remember. Having flex time and cent time helped a lot in using my time to complete the assignments. I also enjoyed playing on the volleyball team, the new experience was fun and there are many places for improvement and made me excited that I could become better. This year I realized I learn best by working in an environment where it is quiet with no distraction, so I could get work done and rest more at home. Words that describe my year were stressful but also fun and enjoyable at the same time. It feels like time has gone by so fast, I cannot believe that this is the end of grade 9. It has wanted to come to high was not that long ago.

I have chosen this website because zbib has been the most useful website when work citing in projects. It is easier to cite in zbib than citing the link itself.

I chose this video because it has given me a more understanding in the American revolution in class. Social Studies is not my favorite subject, it was confusing at first, but the video helped me give a more understanding and I was able to prepare for the test on the American Revolution.

This poster I made for my digital footprint assignment. I chose this image because it is a poster that tells you steps to be positive and stay safe. It is a useful educational image and that is why I chose this image.

“It’s going to be hard but hard is not impossible”- Anonymous

I chose this quote because it is a motivating quote I have heard many times, and it tells us not to give up in times you want to quit. There will be a time where things get difficult but that does not mean you cannot do it and that is why I chose this quote.

ADL Social Studies- Ethical Judgement

Recording-20240412_112041.webm

Reflection Questions- Is violence justified during a revolution and/or protest?

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

It had helped assist me in developing this project, it gave me information to research on and also provided a website to get more information from, which helped a lot.

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

To ensure the work was still mine, I had gather many evidence and put them together into my word to explain.

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

In the arguement I was on the pro side. Why violence should be justified but I disagree since violence should not be used even if necessary. It may cause injuries to others that are not involved. There are probably many ways you could get attention or to get the problem solved quicker.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this project, when searching something online or using perplexity I had to make a decisions in making the information they give us into my own word. An evidvience I have to make judgement are in my project. I had as gather many important information in my project.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my script. We communicated and helped each other out, discuss about how we should read the script. Telling each other in how we should start the sentence when we were recording it.

“Password: MURDER: The Movie”

My Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

How I figured out how the avatar was going to look like. There was no description of the character, both protagonist and antagonist. It only told the age of the character. I made the character’s avatar to look like how I think the character will look. I had a challenging time in making the avatar for the character.

How I choose the plot point of the story. I choose the plot point by understanding the word. Knowing that this part of the book was a good plot point and that will make people hook on with the book.

How I figured out the setting in the story. Why is the setting significant to the story? I figured out what the setting is by picking the place they were mostly at in the story. In the story I figured out that the time in the story is in present America because they said in the story that this character named C.J. was riding a BMW car.

What does the word mood mean and how/why I picked the song? I word mood means about a feeling or how people feel. I chose the song because the book was about mystery and thriller. The song sounded like perfect background music for the book I was going to talk about.

Core Competency Reflection

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when I took advice from my friend. I looked at people’s presentations to see some things I can add and change. Mixing people’s ideas and change it to how I would like it to be or by following the criteria as much as I can.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I relax a little bit too clear of my mind that is distracting me and sometimes I listen to music to boost my mood. But that is when I have my earbuds/Air pods with me. Listening to music is good for both, boosting up my mood and refocusing because we all love to listen to music.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in the criteria. I looked over the criteria to make sure what decisions I should make and follow.
