My Grade 9 Year

This year I enjoyed being apart of clubs and sports teams. I was a part of Track and VOX, I have made many friends and long lasting memories from joining these clubs. I feal that being involved in school activates has made me much more social and extraverted. I was able to join a community that valued trust and kindness and I felt very happy and proud to be able to contribute something into the school and its students. I believe that track has showed me what it means to be apart of something. As someone who has done an individual sport for my whole life it is a special experience to be apart of a team where everyone has one common goal. Overall I feal that my grade nine experience has been enhanced majorly by reaching out and being apart of new clubs and sports teams to build community’s and long lasting friendships as well as complete goals and reach new capabilities.

My Favorite Website

(583) Pinterest

I chose Pinterest as my favorite website because it helps me get ideas and inspires me for school presentations and projects. I feel that Pinterest elevates my online projects because of the creative pictures that I have access to and the amazing design ideas that I can take inspiration from. Pinterest is an amazing website for me because it helps me unlock creative ideas and gives me inspiration to create innovative projects. I feel that Pinterest also helped me with finding pictures that speak to me and that make sense with the assignment I am doing.

My Favorite Video

I chose to share my English movie because I worked very hard on it and I think it shows how far my learning has come because of the detailed slides. This movie had many ups and downs during the making of it and I had to preserver and be innovative with my ideas. I feel that my work on this movie was very well done and professional as well as interesting and creative. overall I chose this video because it shows my hard work.

My Favorite Picture

I chose this picture because it shows my love for track. Track is one of my favorite sports and I have made so many friends and memories from it. When I run track I feel like I have no burdens on me and that I can just focus on the tack and block everything else out. I believe that track has been a very important highlight of my school year and it is something that I look forward to participating in for the rest of my high school career.

My Favorite Quote

This quote speaks to me because It is very accurate to my life. Having a positive mindset is one of the main secrets to success because if you tell yourself that you are going to fail then you are going to fail. However if you tell yourself that you can do it and that you will succeed then you are going to be in a better mindframe to do so. I carry out this mindset in everything I do as it gives you the power you need to complete the task at hand and it gives me hope for an amazing future.

Touching Spirit Bear The Movie: Peter’s Story

Our Movie

“Plot, Character, Setting and Mood”

Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like. I knew that Peter was a red head and I simply imagined what the rest of him would look like based off of the way his personality was described in the book. They described Peter as quiet and shy so I tried to display that in the way he dressed and looked.

· How did you choose the plot points? I chose the plot points by looking at the quotes from others and deciding what was the most important. I wanted the plot points to show the real Peter and not just the boy who was Coles target. I wanted to find points that showed how Peter was feeling rather then what everyone else wanted him to feel. I picked moments where everyone was vulnerable and emotional.

· Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story? I figured it out by simply looking at the context clues in the story. My group also took clues from how others described life in the area that the book takes place in. the setting is important because without it we would be lost with nowhere to go. the setting is a huge component of setting up a story and without it we would not get the same universe and experience wile reading the book.

· Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked? I believe that the word “mood” means the overall vibe of the book. An example of mood is how the universe that the book is in is described. the mood is what evokes emotions and connects you to the book. My group and I picked an intense but meaningful song because that is how reading the book made us feel. We choose a song based off the books mood and feel and also based our choice on what we thought our character would have chosen.

“Core Competency Reflection”

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…take a break and stretch my legs. I will get a sip of water or a snack and refresh my body and mind so that I can be more successful. If I am feeling stressed out when doing the assignment I will take my dog for a walk or go to the gym to give myself a break so when I go back to the assignment I can put my full attention to the subject.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is…when we choose the music for our movie. The original idea was to pick something that we felt the author would resonate with. I suggested that we also focus on what music our character would connect with so that we would have more to build off.

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by…engaging with what everyone is saying and pitching in ideas as we go so that all of us can have a part in building this presentation. I also show my understanding by being able to recall important information that was said in the book when we have discussions about it.

ADL- Collaboration and Solutions for Financial Literacy

data and solutions

  1. year one: (80000 x 1.042)
  2. year two (83 360 x 1.042)
  3. year three (86 861.12 + 1.042)
  4. year-end = 90509.29
  5. (10000 + 10000 + 10000= 30 000) savings account for 3 years
  6. 90509.29 + 30000
  7. = 120509.29
  8. goal= Reached!!!

I chose a 3-year GIC because it’s a much safer option then stocks and if I picked a one-year GIC then I would not have reached my goal of 120 000. If I had picked stocks then it would have been a lot riskier to reach my goal because the stock market is not predictable and as I said, a one-year GIC would not get me where I needed to be considering my goal.

group work reflection

how we worked together…I found working with my group to be a good experience, we had thoughtful arguments about the answers, and we collaborated well. one thing I would say is that some people in the group may have gone too fast at times and it made it difficult to keep up for me personally. I feal that if everyone went a little slower and communicated more than the entire group would understand it much better and we all would have been better prepared for this project. I think overall this was a good group with lots of different ideas, but we could have collaborated more with each other. I believe our group was a 3 out of four because I thought we were a good group of people who worked hard we just needed to make sure everyone understood before we moved on so quickly.

Core Competency Reflection

I can work with others to achieve a goal. During the group work I helped my group get to the solutions. I also asked thoughtful and creative questions and I contribute to whatever we are doing even if I do not personally enjoy it. I make sure to share my ideas and I always help my group mates when needed.

I can recognize different points of view and can disagree respectfully. I do not attack other people when they have different opinions and I keep any negative or hurtful comments to myself. I am a positive group mate, and I can accept that my statement is incorrect if it’s the truth.

I can tell the difference between facts and opinions. I can tell when the statement I am about to share is an opinion if it’s something that is more of a belief whereas a fact is something that is backed up by science or has been proven by something like nature. I am careful to not claim something is a fact when it is just my opinion.

I can identify my strengths and identify my potential. I recognize my talents and I build them with hard work. When I am good at something I know it because I feel a sense of understanding and accomplishment. I am good at knowing what I have to work on and what I excel at.

Personal/social competency reflection

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, so I adjust my actions to…prioritizing my work before social media and having days where I do other things I enjoy such as sports, reading, working out and self-care. I find that when I do these things my head is in a much better place, and I am so much happier. Along with all those activities. I also make sure that when I post something, I do not post anything that could affect me in a negative way along the road. Another big thing I do to keep a clean digital footprint is never leaving negative or rude comments on others posts. This is something that can be resurfaces so easily and it could ruin so many of my future goals, not to mention it’s just a very unkind thing to do.

My values around being a high-performance gymnast inform my decisions about how much time I spend online because…It can interfere with lots of things even outside of gymnastics. Some things that too much social media can hurt is my sleep. If you do not get enough sleep, it is impossible to truly focus on anything. Sleep is one of the most needed things for kids my age and If I am not hitting the needed hours then I am not giving my body its needed energy. The other huge thing it can effect is my ability to be productive. I do not have a lot of time on gymnastics days to do my homework and sometimes I will end up with a ton of it on a gymnastics day and I end up having to stay up very late. If I am distracted by my phone 2 hours of homework can turn into 3 hours of homework very quicky.
