Curricular Competency Explanation:
Titration is when you add solution with concentration to different solution until it turns into purple or pink color. I added the smallest drop of NaOH into the solution trying to measure the endpoint of the solution. I could tell the endpoint of the solution by stirring the water with few drops of NaOH that is inside the beaker and if the pink color stays for 5 seconds without dissolving, it means that the solution has reached its endpoint. I would put half a drop to make sure that the color stays in the beaker for more than 30 seconds. I had to try 3-4 times because I kept failing and failing until I realized that you can put NaOH inside the solution until the volume goes down to 14mL-15mL then you can slow add few drops and stirring it until it reaches the endpoint.
Core Competency Reflection:
Personal/Social CC
I can work towards change in myself by listening more carefully during class and getting all of my works done.
I can participate in activities such as lab by following the instructions and completing it.
I can take action by helping my partner while I’m in the lab.
My Parabola
on My Equation
Parent Function
y = x^2
Desmos graph (Red: Mine / Blue: Parent function)
My vertex (-5,-7)
Parent function vertex (0,0)
Paragraph
The significance of a, explains if the parabola is either wider or narrower and also the direction of which way the parabola will open. When a is negative, the parabola opens down. But when the a is positive, the parabola opens up. Since the a of my parabola is positive, my parabola opened up just like like the parent function. Also, a positive value of a closer to zero makes a wider parabola. The significance of h, explains whether the parabola will shift right or left. According to the equation formula, it says (x-h), meaning that if h is positive, your parabola will shift to the right and when it’s negative your parabola will shift to the left. Since the h of my parabola is (x+5), my parabola shifted 5 times to the left. Last but not least, the significance of k tells whether the parabola shifts up or down. When the k is positive the parabola shifts up and when the k is negative the parabola shifts down. The K of my parabola was -7 so my parabola shifted -7 times downwards.
Self assessment
- I wrote down my equation and family function. Then I put it on desmos to compare both graphs.
2. I used vertex, parabola, negative, positive, family function to show my understanding.
3. I used desmos because it’s more accurate than my hand drawn graph and it’s easier to do.
A Spanish-Speaking Country
on South Korea
Comparison to my home country
South Korea and Spain are two nations with unique geographic, historical, and cultural traits. Spain is a country in Southwest Europe that is known for their landscapes, lively culture, and lengthy history. There are cities in Spain such as Madrid and Barcelona. They also have their tradional food which includes tapas and paella. However, South Korea is an East Asian nation and their capital city is Seoul.
Core Competency Reflection
I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener: I ask questions when i don’t understand the assignment which shows that I’m an active and supportive listener.
I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals: I tried not to be on my phone during class to get better marks in Spanish course.
I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head.: I studied Spanish during class instead of going on my phone to get better at Spanish.
My goal is to finish my homework on time. To achieve that goal, i will try not to go on my phone during class and study after school.
English First Peoples 11 Reflection
on My Artifact:
I managed to focus and finish most of the works during class. I asked few questions to my peers and teacher when I faced challenges throughout the assignment.
Curricular Competencies Reflection
I improved a lot on my reading, listening and view skills during class by doing a lot of assignments that were related to listening and comprehending to the Indigenous peoples’ speeches. We practiced a lot on listening to their stories and understanding them. We also watched movies or read articles about their heritage or cultures that explains about their stories.
Core Competencies Reflection
I performed my thinking skills by researching about my topic and sharing it to my peers to make bring up with solid ideas. I would research and spend more time reviewing on my own work to develop my work for next time.
Life Saving Measures
on 
Check for hazards. Then stimulate victim and give 30 chest compressions. Call 911 and bring AED. Check if the person is still breathing. I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not wfir with them.
English First Peoples 11 Reflection
on My Artifact:
Coming to class on time, staying on task and completing works.
Curricular Competencies Reflection
- I learned reading, listening and viewing skills just by reading and comprehending the books I read.I will take what i learned and use it towards working on reconciliation by understanding the meaning of the true story.
Core Competencies Reflection
I learned to be creative during the tasks that we did from the past 3 months. We mostly watched/read movies or articles and tried to come up with ideas of the meaning behind the movies, books, songs, dances, or songs.
English 10 Reflection
on My Artifact
One thing that I’m proud of during English 10 class is to finish my assignments on time.
Curricular Competencies Reflection
Comprehend and Connect: I learned reading, listening and creative thinking throughout English 10 course. We practiced a lot of writings about the book after reading the book. We used a lot of creative thinking during the projects and other assignments that were assigned by my English teacher.
Core Competencies Reflection
- I can ask open-ended questions to gather information.
- I consider more than one way to proceed in an investigation.
- I can tell the difference between facts and opinions.
- I can give, receive and act on feedback to progress in my goals.
- I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is my work effort in this picture
Space in the News
on Summary
The Hubble Space Telescope has caught an image of a galaxy called NGC 4394, which appears hazy by the residence of gas and dust. The galaxy is 120 million light years away from Earth and is home to several star forming regions. The galaxy contains some 400 billion stars, and most are old. The image reals about the details of the galaxy’s form, including bright stars. Hubble’s observations will help astronauts understand the processes that drive star formation in galaxies like NGC 4394. Hubble gazes describes the observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is a powerful tool that tracks Earth and captures images of distant galaxies and stars.

Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I go outside and play sports. When I go outside and do outdoor activities, it gets rid of my stress.
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is (chemistry, physics or biology) worksheets than projects or labs, because worksheets have problem solving. I like problem solving with formulas than doing lab sheets or projects.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by giving them my opinions. In this way, I know if people has same opinion as me.
