Description of the board game:

If you were to look at our board game it may seem basic and boring, but really it is not. You start in the centre of the swirl and that represents your home town and the finish line (the end of the swirl) represents Canada or the U.S. Depending on the cards and actions you get, you will go through the board game with a different storyline each time. Their are a few other twists to make our board game fun like our punishment cards, These cards are for when people don’t do he action cards we supplied or if they get a trivia question wrong. We also had a really funny paper hat and a colourful T-shirts as a punishment as well. The trivia questions can be as simple as “what are the struggles that Irish immigrants faced” they could also be more complex like “Did the slaves from North America escape? If so how?” Our class was learning about British and North America colonization. Our board game could be use as a study guide for colonization because we included the Irish immigration and some fun facts about colonization.

My Achievement:

When me an my classmate were making the board game together I did not agree on some things. So I recognize my emotions and use strategies to manage them. I did this by communicating in a kind way what I felt was wrong about our board game and then we made some changes to the game so we could both agree on it. Fo an example, when we were making our board game we painted it and did not like how it turned out so we both agreed and decided to colour over the watercolour paint with pencil crayons an smudge marker on top of that as well.

My goal:

During the board game sometimes I felt like stuff was dived unfair and I had a har time sharing my opinions and thoughts to my classmate. So I want to work on this statement to make my self a better person. This is the statement: “I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others.” How I will work on this is by gaining more confidence in my self and expressing my thoughts and provide solutions on how we can make it fair. For an example, I can write out what i am going to do in our project and I can write out what my classmate is going to do. Then I can confirm if the work jobs seem equal to her as well, and if they do not we can communicate and change some things around until we both agree on it.

Social Awareness and responsibility

Social Studies Presentation The X-ray

I Can Statement #1

During this sharks tank assignment I demonstrated being kind to others, and supporting others when they need it. I was kind to my partner and I supported her when needed. My partner and I had different ideas for our project and I was kind and respectful about that. When my partner needed help on the presentation I asked how I could help and gave a few suggestions on what we can do to make our presentation better. An example of this is when my partner needed help on facts about the X-ray. I was able to research some information and facts about the x-ray and together we incorporated that information in our presentation. A few ways that I was being kind is when I realized that we are both good at different things. My partner was really good at designing our PowerPoint but I lacked in that area so we were kind to each other and supported each others weaknesses.

I Can Statement #2

I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behavior. When working with my partner I was always respectful. One way I demonstrated being respectful was when my partner needed help I gave her my support. I also listened and was open to her new ideas. I was respectful when we were sharing our opinions and thoughts about our project. I was able to give my ideas in a respectful way. During our project I was inclusive. I was inclusive by making and sharing a word document with my partner so we could both share our ideas and thought. This made it easy for us to work on our project together since we could both see the same thing on our laptops. I was also inclusive by always working together in class and by actually communicating in person to share our thoughts, opinions and changes we could make to our presentation.

A Summery Of The Assignment

For this assignment I was asked to make a PowerPoint Presentation about a product that helped the industrial revolution. We were given the option to work in pairs or alone to create one PowerPoint. We were also asked to give information on our topic we chose and present our PowerPoint in front of the class as if we were the actually inventor of the product. During our presentation We were asked to read our information to the class, share our photos of our invention, and ask people to invest in our business. At the end of our presentation we had to answer questions from our classmates and teacher.
