My First year

My grade 9 year

this year I learned lots throughout grade 9. I had many fun projects but also a lot of challenging ones. this year pushed me to a harder working student with many more tests and assignments than my past years. one of my stretches coming into this year was English, my grammar had been very poor I my writing skills were non detailed and uninteresting. I overcame this challenge by reading other people’s story’s/books. I would say my writing skills have improved dramatically and am going to continue practicing. this year I’ve participated in the soccer program which helped gain skill I’m soccer but also made me a lot of new friends. we were knocked out in the second round of playoffs, but I still had an amazing time.

Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

social studies 9: final reflection

Semester Reflection

Novel study

this semester i completed an independent novel study by reading a book taken place in the early 1800s called Tom sawyer. This book was about a boy and his friends exploring their own little town and showing how much different the 1800s was.. i feel if people nowadays tried to emulate the things tom and his friends did would be much harder now like disappearing or stealing gold which would be much more difficult because of cameras and other new technology. a time when i used my ideas and evidence bes was when writing our novel study papers each week. I made sure to take time on each question and put extra quotes. in todays life doing what tom did would be extremely hard and you would suffer a lot of consequences for lying and stealing and would face lots of jail time for it.
