My Grade 9 Year

During my first year at Centennial, I enjoyed playing on the grade 9 girls volleyball team and making new friendships through that experience. As well as meeting new people and making new friends in my classes was very rewarding. I also enjoyed the freedom high school offers compared to middle school and overall learning more complex content in each subject. A goal I have set for the next school year is to make sure I understand the context in class and ask more questions. So when it comes to studying for a test I don’t have to relearn anything. Throughout this school year I also learnt how important it is to stay organized and on top of assignments for overall success.

A Useful Educational Website

https://www.desmos.com/

Desmos is one of the most useful educational websites in my opinion . It has helped me so much this semester with math. Its advanced graphing calculator offers a wide range of functions. Which allows me to visualize and learn how to graph equations, plot data points, solve difficult equations, and much more. I also enjoy the fun problem solving activities my teacher creates for us off Desmos. Overall Desmos is a versatile tool that helps me with my understanding of math.

My Useful Educational Video

This video has been helpful to me in Spanish class with understanding the ser verb as well as pronce and memorizing important words in Spanish. The video has also helpped me with one of my recent projects.Where I had to describe all my teachers in semester two with two words in Spanish.

My Useful Educational Image

I like this image because it shows all the stages of mitosis and meiosis as well as the differances. This photo has helped me memorize for the unit test I just had.

My Inspirational Quote

“It always seems impossible until its done” -Nelson Mandela

I admire this quote because before a big test or presenting a big project you often are scared or dispise wanting to do it. Until you finish it and your feel acomplished.

Reflection Question- is violence justified during a protest?

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

I used the AI as a tool to find information I needed easier and much faster. Instead of searching through random websites to find what I need.

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

I took the info for my arguments out of AI and made sure I wrote it in my own words.

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

I did not agree with my position. I think you can get your word out by not being violent but instead by peaceful protest.

Competency Reflection

  1. My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include reading through to make sure I understand the statement the best I can.
  2. I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in my rebuttal.
