Artifact: Find something you did in Textile Arts and Crafts that you are proud of that highlights either your communication, thinking, or personal/social skills: im most proud of my needle felting.
#PersonalSocialCC: Social awarness/responsibility for my needle felting project. I supported and tried to give suggestions to my peers as I made my own project. I was respecting their opinions on either taking my suggestion or not, and I believe this helped strengthen my social skills and create a better bond or relationship with my peers. And next time to do better Id try getting different eyes for the duck, something that may be eaier to put in.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, i listen to music to calm myself and redirect my attention to my work.
Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include different excercises. i usually walk on my running mashine or practive kickboxing. This usually hypes me up or makes me feel positive after which helps me both mentally and physically.
When I am feeling down about school, I remind myself that time will pass eventually ill be able to leave or stay with my friends. Or maybe just get over the fact.
When I make mistakes, I don’t beat myself up. Instead I tell myself its not a big deal and get over the fact. learning off of it.
Artifact: Choose an emoji that best represents what stress feels like to you. Id pick the melting smiling emoji (this app doesnt seem to like my emojis)
Is violence justified during a revolution or protest?
A) I used ai to help me produce examples in this project. Helping me fact check and have the right sources. B) I never copy and paste anything. Using the information, it gave me a. writing the script and product myself. C) I do agree with the position I had to argue with because what I stated in the script, in the paragraph, I know is true. I was confident in myself and my opinion.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to be nice and respectful. Talking to them in respect of there opinions and ideas. Which always turns out with a good friend or a classmate I can ask too.
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask. If I miss hear or forget about something I will always ask. Even if it has already been over, I ask again to make sure they hadn’t changed anything.
This year I enjoyed and am enjoying art and sewing. When I first got the schedule for my grade nine year, I was slightly annoyed that I hadn’t got much that I signed up for. The two were art and sewing. However now as I’m doing projects and activities, I can’t help but want to spend more time on it. I’m glad I was put in these two classes and am enjoying them like id signed up for it.
YouTube may not be the best educational website as students can get quite distracted by the videos, however, it is not just a distraction as many think. There are many good videos like science videos that explain the laws of nature or videos explaining how to design something out of recycled fabric. Not just that but also a variety of music that helps students like me study, relax, but also dance and have fun. And that is why YouTube is a great educational website. 🙂
A Useful Educational Video
I chose this video for multiple reasons. One of the reasons was that it reminded me of when my socials teacher had compared school shootings to revolutions in the past. like the French revolution and the English revolution. one other reason was how grateful students and teachers should be that we do not have to worry much about such things. School shootings can still happen in Canada however, it is a lower chance than in America which I feel like we should always be grateful and happy for.
A Useful Educational IMAGE
I choose the periodic table because we used it quite frequently in Chemistry. I was also always curious what all the symbols and numbers meant on the periodic table, which we got to learn in science. Looking at the elements on the table and drawing Bohr models was honestly not that bad of an experience and I’m glad it aided me throughout chemistry.
Inspirational Quote
We dont make mistakes we make happy accidents – Bob ross
I chose this quote because it was a quote that always stuck with me. I tell myself this in many things especially at school because even when people say “everyone makes mistakes” people still judge. So instead of it being a mistake I rather make it a happy accident. An accident made but turned it into something beautiful and happy, even if it’s not the best.

I believe this writing reflects as a strength in showing my creativity, as it shows how I use different words and sentences to make the poem flow. However, it also shows my weakness; lack of complex words and my ability to present confidently to the class. in the presentation I had a hard time looking up and sometimes reading a bit too fast. If I had to change something it would be my ability to present and use more unique and complex words.
Core Competency Self Reflection
To me, I think this assignment was a bit harder than the other ones because it takes more time for me to think or words, so it rhymes but also sounds smooth. It was also hard to edit because if I had changed one sentence it may affect another because of the rhyme. made me pretty angry. I loved this because it gave us, the students, lots of freedom, however I would rather do assignments like the journal, where we have to write our opinion, or answer a question in a paragraph way.
a. Which advertising technique did you choose and how did you use that technique to create your poster? I used the glittering generalities technique. This technique was used in the ad to make it sound more connectable or appealing to the person looking at the ad. Making the person think about how comfy, stylish and cool the product may really be.
b. Explain how and why you chose the colours, words, background, etc. that you used to make your advertisement. I chose these colours not just because they were suggested but because it helps the words pop out, not too much that it would feel awkward but enough to make someone interested and intrigued.
c. What do you think others who aren’t in your class should know about advertising? They should know that lots of words always the best for advertising. Unlike paragraphs or essays it is almost always better to use simple words and photos for advertisement. After all the whole point is to grasp the audience’s attention, not bore them.
Core Competency Reflection
This is how I selected images and words to create an impact for my planned audience: When I was coming up with ideas for the ad I tried to think of something many people liked or wanted. And for me I love fashion, but I also like to feel comfortable in my clothes. So, the first thing I thought of was baggy clothing. They are cool, fashionable, and comfy. Not being too tight or showing too much. Being comfortable and still having the looks. For adults, for example parents love wearing something comfortable, and young adults love fashion. So put them together and have something everyone wants.
I used to think that catchy songs and funny ads were the only main strategies about advertising and now I know that there are more than just video ads. Learning lots about all the different strategies in advertisement not just video but also in posters. After learning and going over the strategies, I believe that the ad making project did help. Unlike what I had thought the project made me rethink all of the strategies, helping me understand the way of making persuading ads.
I can demonstrate self-regulation and use coping strategies for stress such as listening to music or exercising. Music always puts me in a positive mood and helps me calm down even if I’m in tough or stressful situations. Exercising also helps me get rid of stress; making my body more healthy and become energized.
I can make decisions and take steps to support my wellbeing, including a healthy balanced lifestyle with my device time by only using my phone when it’s really needed, like calling or texting for plans. Or using to do to important work like schoolwork or other types of homework. I can also try to get a healthier lifestyle with my devise by realizing and trying to change how much i really use my devise. Like if I had used 5 hours of my devise then i can make it my goal to use it less tomorrow.
In the first few weeks of science, our class did an experiment called the egg drop challenge. An experiment where we make a container to drop the egg in. The main goal was being able to drop the egg (Eddie) into the container without the egg breaking. We got a week to make the container and I was put in a group of six. “I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share.” (core competency) I believe I did my part in the project. In the group I had brought more than one supply (bowl, and string). spending as much time as possible to finish the container. I also used my flex block to finish making the container (credit to Gia who was the only other one who helped). Bringing supplies, giving my time, and making ideas, I believe that I had done my share in the assignment.
Through this activity I gained knowlege of ways to make a softer container, and comunicate batter with my groupmates. if I could improve in the next project I would replan and think over our plan once again before starting anything.
Living in the world 2024, most of the activities people do at school, at home and anywhere else are digital. Because of this many volunteers and teachers have started to teach others about the internet and digital footprint. Many of us know this but don’t think too deeply about digital footprint even after we learn about it. This paragraph will be reviewing the pros and cons of digital footprint and technology use, and how we as students and adults can use technology in a more safe and positive way.
The Impacts of Digital footprint
Digital footprint is a trail that your actions online leave behind. Which means it is very important to be careful of what you do online. It The likes, comments, posts, all stack up into evidence of who someone is. As those posts become public, likes and comments are seen, more than one person can start to tell who you are like in person. This includes many people starting from random strangers to someone you want to work for. They may look at your digital footprint to tell what kind of person you are. If what they see is positive then great, the person will how more trust in you and abilities as a person, however one negative comment or post can make them unsure of you.
Positives on Digital footprint and technology
There are many positives in technology and social media than just negatives. Technology can be used to learn and explore new subjects that had been unseen. Social media for the workers trying to hire you is very useful for them because they can quickly see what the other person is like and in their opinion, it would be a great saving of time. Many companies and businesses can advertise more easily, and cops can tell more easily if someone is doing something illegal or not just by looking into their digital footprint.
Negatives on Digital footprint and technology
One of the main concerns is how many people are addicted to social media, rather than using technology for help using it for their wants. Gaming, scrolling, watching videos all make the person use technology and less focused on other subjects, like school, sports, and socializing. It has also been proven that technology makes the person more aggressive, losing themselves easier than usual. Also making the person’s attention span shrink.
What to change?
Now we know what the problem is so it’s important to change. The problem and obstacle in this situation would be our digital footprint turning out to be negative. So, it’s good to think about how to keep my info positive. Some ways we can keep a positive way is thinking before posting or commenting on anything. Always remember that once something is posted or commented on it’s impossible to get it back, and that it will impact your future someday either in a positive or negative way. It’s important to avoid negatives but it’s also good to look at more positive content and post something that is more helpful or kind.

I make digital ethical choices such as considering what i comment on others’ posts, thinking about what I’m posting before actually post it in order to prevent negative impacts. Helping my future and my digital footprint for tomorrow.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include having a time limit on how much time i spend on my phone. I keep an app that tells me how much time i had already spent, specifying on each app, and stops my apps from working after 3 hours. Also, my parents stop me from using my phone on weekdays.
I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as how i barely have any experience with social media my choice of using less of my phone helped me to get more hobbies like reading, journaling and boxing. Doing those hobbies and studying instead of using my phone.
