My First Year

Some words that describe my year are free, independent, and grind. I chose the word free because I feel like I have a lot more freedom in high school and freedom is something I value. I chose the word independent because in my first year of high school I felt I had way more independence than I had in middle school. I am able to independently choose my own electives that interest me unlike middle school where you are in scheduled classes with the same people all day. My day usually was full of going to my own activities so I would have to grind at night or get up early in the morning to study and do homework. I am continuing to learn how to get ahead of my studies. In conclusion, my first year in high school felt like I had freedom and independence to make my own decisions which I feel is helping me mature and be prepared for grade 10.

I chose my calendar because throughout the year my calendar has kept me very organized with my schoolwork and my lacrosse. If I did not have my calendar I wouldn’t be able to remember what time my lacrosse and school assignments and tests were. My calendar has helped my family as well because it not only has my activities but it has my families as well. In conclusion, my calendar makes my life way easier because it is a structure for my day.

My Useful Educational Video

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mxd8mxDtfAU%3Ffeature%3DoembedI

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mxd8mxDtfAU?feature=oembedI I chose this video because it helped me so much in science by explaining covalent compounds and ionic compounds. This was a part in science that I could not remember so watching this video helped my learning and made it more clear.

My Useful Educational Image

I chose this image because it helped me during science when I could not visually remember what each of the cells looked like in the cell cycle. This image also provided clear and useful facts on each event of the cell cycle. This information was the stuff exactly on my test.

My Inspirational Quote

“I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.” – Michael Jordan

I chose this quote because it reminds me that I should always work hard because what I want the result to be is dictated by how hard I work. This quote relates to my schoolwork because if I don’t work hard and be sloppy with my work then the results will not be how I would want them to be. I have learned I need to keep by work neat and organized in order to be successful.

A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project 

The use of AI assisted me in the developing in this project by using Perplexity AI, it is an AI took that gives you websites to use for what you are researching.

I ensured that the work I created was still my own, rather than using the product of AI, by showing the websites where I got the information in the work cited section.

C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not? 

I agreed to an extent on the position I had to argue. I agreed about violence is a good way to get attention, but I disagree with using violence as a way to get rid of or cope with your anger.

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include finding trustworthy websites made by recognizable names or from colleges or university. Then I skim through the website finding valuable resources. Then with those valuable and important resources I transfer them onto a word document or onto edublog.

Budgeting for a Special Day

I will be surprising my brother Colton with a fun day full of great activities, including going golfing, eating at the golf course and going to buy some new golf accessories. We will wake up at 11am and go out to eat at his favourite restaurant which is Tim Hortons. We will be ordering two Sausage Farmers Wraps to start the day. At 1230, we will go to No Frills and purchase two Monster Energy drinks and then we will head to the Vancouver Golf Club. We will warm up at the driving range and then we will go to the course to play a round of golf. After we play the first nine holes, we will go and share some nachos before we play the next nine holes. After we finish our 18 hole golf game, we will go to Golf Town at the mall. I plan to buy Colton a new putter headcover as well as two new boxes of golf balls. After our long day we will head home for dinner. We will be ordering Doordash Mcdonalds and we get two Quarter Pounder combos to end our special day.

Analysis

I spent a total of $282.47 at the end of this special day. The percentage of my money spent was 94.16%. The first thing would have done differently if I had a budget of only $100 would be to make food at home. The second thing I would have done differently would be not to have taken Colton shopping or to only purchase things that were on sale. On the other hand, if I had a budget of $500, I would have taken him to a high end restaurant, such as The Keg or downtown for the night to watch a Canucks game to end our night.

Competencies

I chose my brother Colton because, he has always believes in me and I know he will help me no matter what. Whenever I start struggling in school or in sports, he is always there to help me . I chose to spend my budget on mostly golf things because I know he really loves golf. I chose to spend almost half of my budget on expensive golf balls because those are his favourite. I feel like my project deserves an extending because I actually did this fun day with my brother. I didn’t buy him all the fancy gifts but we actually did play a round of golf at Vancouver Golf Club and had a great day.

Geography town project

Curricular Competencies

I understood, identified and explained the reasons for the physical process that formed and shaped the area of the town I chose.

understood, identified and explained the reasons for the vegetation that grows in the area of the  town I chose.

I learned how to put this into a power point map and explain it. 

Core competencies

I inquired into and presented a topic of interest and related to my studies. 

I considered more than one way to proceed in an investigation. 

I worked with others in times of research, to achieve a goal. 

Reviewing Unit 1: Integers & Fractions

The part of unit 1 that I am most comfortable was BEDMAS because my grade 7 and 8 class did a lot of review on it and therefor I feel advanced.

The most difficult part of unit 1 was word problems because the math vocabulary is difficult for me and I did not have a lot of experience doing so.

I usually learn new material best when I ask questions and engage in the discussion.

I plan to prepare for the unit test by studying the math vocabulary and the integers and fractions work sheet.

I already have completed the work book assignments

The statement “I persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior” means to me, that I don’t give up on challenging math problems and if I get a question wrong or a bad grade on a test then I take ownership of my goals.

MONSTER Presentation Power Point Assignment: Self- Assessment

In this slide of our monsters presentation we used the text to describe the monsters spicies and a big font so people in the back could see and still learn about the kraken. There are a couple things that my partner and I could have done such as, we could have added another picture of the Kraken and we could have added real squid to the powerpoint so the class would know how people thought they are apart of the same species.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

As this assignment was in some ways different from a “typical” assignment for English class, discuss what challenges you faced completing the assignment and how you overcame them.

This assignment was different from a “typical” assignment for English class because we would usually never learn about monsters. We also usually do not get to choose what topic will choose from. Some challenges I faced during this is that my first two monsters already got chosen, so my partner and I had to take time away from working to chose our monster. Another challenge was trying to fit all of our information in the powerpoint slide because we were told to do point form instead of a paragraph.

Advertisement Persuasion Project

My advertisement

Persuasion Project Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion Project unit reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement? Core Competence reflection. Consumers and businesses can develop trust through transparent advertising. The general openness of the marketing process is enhanced by knowing who gains from the advertisement. Companies are probably more trustworthy if they are transparent about their goals and reasons.

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional

Logical because we stated the truth with our price and how our ingredients are made homemade and how we have new ingredients that no other store has

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in selling a product

Testimonial, famous people say, I think this is an effective in selling a product because a lot of people want to be like there hero or a famous person so when they hear that they like a product they immediately want to try that product therefor making money

I respectfully advocated for my needs on this project by going for walks and taking mental breaks to re focus myself. I knew my group is working well together when I heard/ saw everyone getting along and staying focused on the topic. I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is working with partner with sharing and receiving ideas.
