    I chose to use 2 ellipses for my eyes because it gave me the identical eye shape for my eyes and 4 circles for the earrings in my ears because i like to wear earrings in my ears everyday. I also chose to put my hair in a pony tail because it shows how i like to wear my hair back instead of down. I also used one hyperbola for my nose bridge. I also added a necklace with a pendant because i wear this certain necklace everyday, with a blue pendent on it. I had a problem with adding extra colours to my desmos, leading to me not being able to colour in my self portrait with the right colours and the colours i wanted. for example i wanted to add gold and white but the equations weren’t working.

    English 11 Core Competencies

    Through this project, I learned how Indigenous stories teach important life lessons and values to younger generations. I used my reading and listening skills to understand the deeper meanings behind Trickster stories and other teachings. Creating the poster helped me connect themes like identity, respect, and cultural knowledge in a creative and organized way. I now see Indigenous storytelling as a way to share lessons, and I will carry these messages with me as i grow older.

    While making this Indigenous Storytelling poster, I used creative thinking by organizing complex ideas into a clear, visual format. I connected key concepts like identity, teachings, and symbolism using colors, arrows, and categories. I explored new ways to link themes such as Trickster figures, Elder knowledge, and cultural lessons. I reflected on how stories pass down important messages and values, and I found original ways to show those ideas. I revised my layout as I worked to improve how everything connected. This helped me think more creatively and understand the deeper meanings in Indigenous stories.

    Core Competency

    in this lab we made a titration. we completed making a titration 4 times until perfect. when the first and fourth titration were within .1 of eachother we knew we did the lab right. my partner and i used our technique skills from the day before in this lab. from adding half drops and using each piece of equitment correctly gave us a result we were good with. during this lab we used our communication skills between eachother. when we were making the titration i would mix the flask while swirlling the liquid inside and my partner added the NaOH into the flask. with me mixing and her adding more base we were able to come up with a nice light pink colour. once we saw this colour we completed the lab.

    Life Saving Measures

    3 takeaways i have from these presentations is the good Samaritans act. This act apply to both CPR and drug overdoses. As long as you aren’t being negligent the Good Samaritan act falls into place and protects you. Another thing i learned was that you can administer naloxone more than once. If the person you gave it to doesn’t wake up then you should give another dose. Every dose of naloxone wears off about 20 mins after you have given it. The last thing i learned was when you are going to get naloxone from the pharmacy, they may ask you questions but it isn’t mandatory to respond to the questions. It is also harder to find the nasal spray of naloxone compared to the needle type. These presentations impact my life because when i am out and about i feel more comfortable helping someone on the street. This also has an impact on my life by giving me more knowledge on how to give out naloxone and more about the drug.

    i can analyze evidence to make judgements because i have learned more about saving someone I don’t know. I can assess the situation and do what makes me feel comfortable. As i asses i can also keep calm and do what is needed to help the person live.

    Core competency:

    i chose communication because during my squid lab i had to communicate with my partner. I can ask and answer questions based on what i learned during my lessons in class. I can think critically when my teacher asked me to identify the parts of the squid. My partner and I can talk though this direction, we used our kind words and our brains to complete this dissection. I can show my thinking by showing my peers and teacher the different parts and tasks i completed within my journey with the squid dissection.

    Core Competency

    I can reflect on my thinking by showing how i can talk about my past year and pick out the most eventful parts. I can put My thinking into words and write above the minimum about my favourite year and the best events that happened during it. I can build off the other ideas i came up with by allowing myself think about the different activity’s i did and the events that happened during the trip. An example of something I spent a lot of time learning about was the difference between imperfect form and preterite form. We did multiple activities and tests about this topic. I spent a lot of time studying and learning to eventually fully learning the differences and the conjugations.

    my first goal

    My first goal for this semester is improving my time management skills. Since grade 11 is a though year and you move really fast within each of my classes I will have to use the time that I have wisely. I will try to spend a least 30 minutes for each class everyday. This will help me get all my work. Done on time and help me understand what i am working on in each class. Sometimes i have a short attention span this will allow me to catch up with the class and allow me to get the help i need from each teacher.

    my second goal:

    the second goal i chose was trying to get out to get at least an hour of exercise everyday. Not only will this improve my physical health this will also help me reset my mind and allow me to focus more on my school work. Getting exercise will also relieve my stress and will also clear my mind from being overwhelmed. I will try to get a least 10,000 steps a day weather its from soccer going on a walk or going on a run. This will also help my performance in my sports and allow me to become better.

    i was most proud of my novel study of Fahrenheit 451. i had read half of the novel before finding that the graphic novel was a better read for me. i finished the graphic novel and tried to talk during the discussions about the book. the final project i did was a podcast on the characters in the book. i was most proud of this assignment because it turned out really well. it was the best assignment i did within the class. me and my partner filled out character cards for each character and shared our research and our thoughts on each. we took 2 of the ideas given to us and put it into 1 big partner project. we used collaberation and creative thinking for this project. we also used communication thought the whole unit and put it in as part of our project. i learned alot from this unit from how to make and create a podcast to finding you can do a novel study in many different ways. this will help me in the future and in the future of my learning

    i learned that you need to check the surroundings and talk to the person before doing any type of compressions. we also learned how the heart works and different type of risks you take. smoking is the most common risk in all of Canada. the key take away from this unit was how to complete cpr. you have to go around 5 cm into the chest with one hand under the other with your fingers locked. this unit focused on the heart and real life situations. the previous unit focused on your diet and excersise. nutrition and excersise helps prevent heart attacks and or strokes. this helps with your health physically and mentally.

    Core Competency Reflection

    1. i can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life by making up senarios and looking at the health part. i compare it to how i live my life and if i need to make changes in my deit or excersise to my everyday life to prevent those heart problems.
    2. in this unit i am most proud of my test. i got perfect on it. it is the first test i have done all semester and it turned out really well.
    3. one of the ways i can see using this learning to help others is by teaching them how to save a life and if it happens in real life. if someone needed CPR i could give it to them becuase ” i am trained, i can do this”
