For my poster I chose the movie “Minions Rise of Gru” I enjoyed having all the creative freedom considering I didn’t have a partner. I love art and being creative so this was a perfect assignment for me. Considering the circumstances I got to make all of the decisions and used creative thinking to achieve the final product I had envisioned. In the future I would have used yellow poser board instead of red to match the minions in the film be other than that i have the final product.
In First peoples 11 I wrote an in class essay about an indigenous story we read. I had to manage my time wisely to be able to read the story, complete a writing organization sheet, complete the essay then finally proof reading in the matter of an hour. By having the skill of time management I was able to successfully accomplish the task in the matter of time I was given.
I am a strong reader which helps me understand instructions and tasks easier in classes like Social Studies and Science.
There are many examples within this literature that illustrate the character of Mooch. To begin, Mooch is a freeloader. Mooch will ask his friends for anything without guilt. Mooch’s friend was out fishing in the best fishing spot in town. He was armed with cold beers and nice fresh sandwiches. When mooch saw this he had no trouble asking for all the above. Due to what Mooch has experienced Mooches friends are hesitant to say no to him. In addition, mooch is incredibly strong. Mooch is a residential school survivor. He got taken away from his family and put into a strange, scary place at a young age. Due to what he has been through his friends are scared he may commit suicide like other residential school survivors in the past. His friend is concerned that he may jump off the town bridge like previous residential school survivors. He replies with “I walk across that bridge everyday” reassuring them that he is safe and stable. Lastly, Mooch has an addiction problem. Mooch was in the bar with his friends when he kept asking them for money to buy pull tabs and beer. “Come on guys just $5 for a beer”. When his friends disappoint, he takes money from his wife which never ends well. It is obvious from the evidence given that Mooch is a fighter.
In W.W.l.l. The Japanese were planning to attack Canada. Canada was terrified, they heard all about the Japanese killing and raping women and young girls. When the Japanese where on the way to Canada, Canada made the difficult decision to put all Japanese Canadians into internment camps because Canada was scared the Japanese Canadians weren’t loyal and that they would help the enemy. I don’t agree with what Canada did because they were not spies and they were loyal Canadian citizens. It’s not fair to assume that people are bad especially when they have done nothing wrong. I think they could have just closely monitored the Japanese Canadians. Canada took away innocent people’s homes, boats, businesses everything. They were not treated like humans they were treated like livestock. It’s our job as the next voters of Canada to make sure this kind of thing never happens again.
I worked on my communication competency by working with the people around me, sharing our ideas and supplies. I also helped my friend with her paper quilling because she was having some trouble getting started. Next time I would make my flowers bigger because I really like the look and I would also improve on my time management. For my creative thinking I got creative with the flowers. I made up my own design not looking up any ideas. I’m really proud of the yellow and pink flower because I thought of the design myself. This is my favourite project so far. I love how it turned out and will be doing this in the future for gifts to friends and family
While doing the Unknown Acid and Bases Lab we had to work with a partner. We had to communicate and listen to each others ideas. We helped each other when needed and shared different tasks. If I got to do this lab agian I would want to work with even more acids and bases. We worked fast and efficiently by doing two things at once Ex: Cleaning the tweezers while the other partner gets more litmus paper.
Community
We value community in our town, as to show we have made a community center for citizens to gather and socialize. We also have plenty of flied space for outdoor community events.
Environment
We have a large un-touched forest next to our town for animals in the area to live and for the citizens to breath clean and fresh air. Another thing that we have added is lots of flowers. We made sure to have animals on a farm so, the citizens have a sustainable food source along with the vegetable garden we have. This provides all the food for the town, so they do not have to rely on other places for food.
Safety
We felt that safety was an important value for us while making our city. We wanted to make sure that it was a safe place for the citizens to live. To assure the towns safety we have installed a gate around to perimeter of the town. And in case of accidents, we have a hospital.
Friendship
We have multiple community gardens and ponds for our citizens. Where they can hang out and work together while gardening and fishing. Creating strong, long lasting friendships in our town. We also have a large fire pit for the citizens to enjoy.
Education
In our town we value education, to support that we have a school for all the children to attend so we can have a continuously evolving community.
Colours and symbols:
We have many flowers to symbolize happiness while also helping the environment. The community center is yellow to symbolize the sun and happiness and the warmth of the community.
For our project we did it on Minecraft. Luckily, we both were already familiar with the program which made it easier for the both of us. We worked on our design mostly at home and communicated and shared our ideas thought massaging and in person. We did a great job on including both of our ideas and it wasn’t just one sided. I mostly worked on the values while my partner worked on the design but we both did everything. We didn’t waste any time getting to work and we both did our fair share. When one of us got tired of doing a task we switched. By doing this we could add our own touches to everything. I really like the final product of our city. I like how bright and colourful our city is. The only thing that I would change is making the buildings a bit bigger.
I used the website Canva. I put images that were related to what each paragraph was talking about. I made it fun and bright so you want to look at it and read it. I chose green because that is the colour of mental health awareness and I think it’s really important.

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences on my life, including school and home. So I adjust my actions by making sure everything that I post, share or tweet is not false information that I’m spreading. I also check in with myself. Asking myself questions like, how would I feel if my parents/teachers saw this? Doing this also saves me from embarrassment in the future. For example, I see kids on the Internet posting videos that I know they will look back on and wish they never posted in the first place.
The online support network that I use is called discord. It is free and helpful to me because there are hundreds of people in each server willing to help you; with anything from challenging math homework to your mental health. What I like about it is that there is also an option for voice calls. So if taking to somebody is more helpful than just texting you have that option as well. You can have discord servers with anyone you want as long as they have the app. All you need is a simple code to join.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include. Making sure my screen time isn’t as high as time I’ve spent with my family/friends that day or been outside. Luckily, I prefer reading over electronics anyways but sometimes when I get really into a game it’s hard to stop. So setting a screen time limit works for me. If I don’t use a screen time limit, I like to use timers. For example, 40 minutes gaming, 40 minutes reading.

Using Flipsnack was quite a challenge it is not as simple as word or PowerPoint and would often delete parts of work.
Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?
Yes, I was able to, create a draft and then pursue that into creating my good copy.
What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook?
Wikipedia, Britannica, History.com
Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain.
I think that there would have probably been a better website to use maybe Sway just so that you can be sure that you’re work will save.
