Galaxy Project-

For this project, we made our own galaxy based off all the knowledge we have learnt from the class. I made a galaxy that can support life on one planet, with its own unique solar system. This project consisted of making our main planet, sun, moon, other bodies in the galaxy, other planets and moons and more.

A strength of mine is I’m able to hand in my work on time, and ask for help when needed. I demonstrated this in this project, as I asked for help with questions I was unsure of, and handed it in on time.

A stretch of mine, is staying focus, although I know when I have to get back on task and can manage to get myself back on track most of the times.

I find i work best in group work with my friends, as i can communicate well with them.

Transforming Parabolas-

Posted by

Equation/Equation Of The Parent Function-

Graph-

The “h” and “k” values in the function, represent the vertex. This is important as it tells you what the vertex is, although the “h” value is changed, as it will either switch to negative or positive when plugged into the function. The “h” and “k” values let us envision what the graph looks like compared to the parent function. My parabola is different from the parent function as the values are not the same. Both consist of different values, because of this they are in different locations on the graph. Both have their own vertex, different axis of symmetry, x-intercepts, their own range and own minimum values. Although they share the same domain of all real numbers. The “h” value is also important as it indicates how far the graph moves horizontally, while “k” represents the vertical shift. And “a” tells us how much the graph stretches or shrinks vertically. Although if “a” is a negative it indicates that the function is then reflected over the x-axis(upside down). The value “k” in my parabola is -1 because of this my graph is lowered by 1. As well as my “h” value is 7 this meaning my “x value for the vertex is 7, these two value make my parabola different from the parent function. Also because my “A” value is 1/2 it stretches my parabola.

Self Assessment-

I used the same strategies to represent my work, I plugged in a number into the “x” value to find the “y” value for both types of functions. This then giving me the values of both “x” and “y”. I was able to state what the vertex was from both functions, and once graphed out, I was able to recognize the domain, range, x intercepts, minimum value, and more. I showed my work for this by graphing out the two functions, and neatly showing the work behind finding different “x” and “y” values for each function.

Beginner Spanish 11 Conversation

Posted by

Core Competency Reflection-

Communication-

Through out the class, we have learnt how to hold small conversations in Spanish, we have learnt different adjectives, words, vocabulary, pronunciation and the culture. When making this conversation, i found it was limited on what we could talk about within it. This is because we only learnt a small fraction of the language. Although, even though me and my partner faced challenges to over come when making this finial conversation, it was fun and enjoyable. Within our conversation, me and my partner tried to add in details about ourselves.

Personal And Social-

During this project, me and my partner connected outside of school through social media, although we made sure to use our class time to our advantage. We made sure the work was evenly done, and we each had our own sections of it to work on.

BC First Peoples 12-

Posted by

Through out this semester, we have learnt many traditions, cultural practices, and the history of indigenous people. When I first attended this class, I did not know much about indigenous people and their history, compared to know. We have learnt about the importance in oral story telling through out this semester.We have learnt history of the settlers coming to Canada, where we went in dept about the fur trade. One major thing I remember learning, was about the indigenous women, who helps the new settlers navigate the land. Although, within this class, we have talked about residential schools multiple times. I really enjoyed the small unit we did on them, and watching Sam speak. Sam is a residential school survivor, who came into class to speak about his experiences within residential schools and how it affected him long term. I really enjoyed listening to his presentation, I found it interesting. Overall I very much enjoyed this class, as it was a great opportunity to learn more about indigenous people. I entered the class knowing the basic about indigenous culture, and am leaving it, knowing all about the treaties, residential school, settlers, and more. My view on indigenous people hasn’t changed to much, although my view on how they lived as. This is because we learnt all about their lifestyle which I didn’t know before starting this class, as I only knew the basics about indigenous peoples and their ancestors/history.

Core Competency

In Mr Peterson metal 11, we are currently doing the metal box. To make the metal box, we use the iron worker and cut up the metal, then we tack the sides together getting a 90 degree angle. Once marked we weld the sides and then grind it down. I so far have no made any mistakes and am comfortable with welding. I did I have a few problems with having 90 degree angles but over all wasn’t that bad.
