Is Violence Justified During a Revolution?

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

With the assist of AI, I was able to make my research process faster since Perplexity was able to provide me with many crucial information and even gave the sources they used which made my citations easier on my behalf.

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

I can ensure that my work is my own creation because I put the information into my own format and worded the paragraphs to fit into my vocabulary rather than copy and pasting (plagarizing.) The only use of AI was used for researching purpose only.

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

After listening to my partner’s side of the argument and my research, I stand in the middle of my argument because there’s some concepts where I do think that violence is justified and there’s parts where I don’t think so.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I am still able to give honest feedback on their ideas and provide support for my partner. I try to initiate conversations with them and get to know the person better to break the uncomfortable tension.

One of the ways I can ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to use proper communication. Speaking our ideas and sharing feedbacks to one another to see if we both are coming to a consensus. I do think that communication is key in partnerships/groups.

My First Year

My Grade 9 Year

Some words that describe my year are sociable, complicated but lively. I’m very glad that my classes this year gave me an oppurtunity to socialize with more people and build connections with them. Though this year was full of fun core memories with friends, it was oddly complicated. It was complicated getting used to the new environment and making new friends in every class. This year, I enjoyed the exciting Centennial assemblies. Everyone has a good spirit during assemblies and I like it when students from all grades can compete with one another and end it with a good laugh.

I chose Scribbr as my useful educational website because this website gives easy free citation accessability for everyone. I’ve depended on that website in many of my projects that need citations. Not only does it do citing for you, it gives a free plagarism checker and proofreading/editing. It’s a simple website with basic instructions, easy for all ages to understand.

A Useful Educational Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w_w1PhvXOE

In this short video, a lady tells a poem she’s heard called “LET THEM” by Cassie Phillips.

I connected with this with my school year because in highschool, I started to learn more about the people I’ve already had and even more about the type of people in this new environment. While some people are the kindest, many can be judgemental, rude, and immature with their words and actions. This poem says it’s how life goes and let people that love you, love you and let people who wants to spread negativity find their own positivity in life without you.

A Useful Educational Image

This image is a positive reminder on how to take care of yourself. I strongly agree with everything stated in this image. Keeping up with grades and your social life, it’s important to remember to look after yourself. I think if people normalized this self-care behaviour in life, life could be easier for many people.

An Inspirational Quote

“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” – Charles F. Kettering

To summarize the quote, it says that you can’t expect a better day to come if you only dwell on the past. You need to move on in life.

This quote connected with me because I wish I was spending more time enjoying grade 9 instead of being scared to do certain things. I know that next year I will need to work even harder and the work will be more complicated. I feel like if I had a more positive mindset, I would’ve been a bit less stressed out this school year.

ADL Persuasion and Advertising Project

My Advertisement

Persuasion Advertising Learning Reflection

For this advertising assignment, I used the “Glittering Generalities” and “Special Offer” techniques. I used the words 50% off, limited offer and perfect to make this deal look more appealing.

Since nobody could really define the perfect fitting hoodie, I decided to name this hoodie brand as one would say, “The Perfect Fit Hoodie.” I made sure to make this advertisement simple and not too overwhelming, using common attracting traits one would typically look for in a hoodie. Since winter is approaching, and the weather is becoming more colder, I chose the snowy aesthetic background. People will get colder and look for more warmer clothing choices, with my branding, it could easily lead people into buying my product.

Advertising could do way more than one could expect. For example, a product could be the most useless item to ever exist, but if it’s advertised by the right people and techniques, it could become trending and make insane sales. After learning about the techniques, I’ve only now realized that using correct terms, aesthetics, backgrounds, etc. could do so much for a product or brand.

Core Competency Reflection

I used to think that advertisements were useless and now I know how beneficial it can be because of this assignment. There’s many products that people spend so much money on a daily that really isn’t that necessary, but because of how it’s being represented, it’s benefiting these companies incredibly. I’ve also learned that the internet has been the most helpful in advertising many products across the globe.

This is how I selected images and words to create impact for my planned audience: My planned audience was teenagers. I began by making my poster very simplistic as the attention span is decreasing by the following generations. Then, using the aesthetic and dim background with bold clear words to make my product pop out more in the image.
