Conics Project: Desmos Self-Portrait

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/j82mo5jvma

I used many different functions to create my graph like using an ellipse function to create the shape of my face. I used sliders in desmos to test what my final function should look like then copied the values for the whole project. For most of my hair I used radical functions to show the curving. For my eyes I used circle functions because they’re perfect circles. With the bottom of my lips I used a cosine because I noticed the bottom was curvy. There are many other functions I used in the project to draw many different things.

Core Competency Self-Reflection: Precalculus 12

Collaboration

This is our group whiteboard work for verifying trigonometric identities. While working on the problems our group was able to effectively collaborate by sharing ideas and asking questions to check each others understanding. To solve the problems we would decide what steps we should take by expressing ideas, then testing them to see why they would/would not work. Our group was able to ask questions on why certain ideas would/would not work then give feedback based on our understanding by drawing on our past experiences. During the group work I took on the role of writing our questions on the whiteboard. I would like to improve on allowing others to participate more by giving them a turn to write a question because allowing others to participate in writing could allow them to share their ideas more easily.

Chemistry 12 Lab 19C Reflection

This lab showed many ways of me demonstrating my Core Competency’s. I demonstrated my Communication skills by collaborating with a partner to quickly complete the lab. I demonstrated my Thinking skills by developing a strategy to efficiently fill the test tubes and by determining when the precipitate in the test tubes were fully dissolved. I demonstrated my Personal and Social skills helping other groups when they asked questions.

Japanese-Canadian Internment Paragraph

I’ve been very conflicted about the idea of Japanese Canadians being sent to internment camps for weeks, but I’ve final decided that I think Japanese Canadians should be sent to internment camps to ensure the safety and security of Canada. My family and friends have feared an invasion from Japan and the attack on pearl harbor has made us sure that Japan will invade us in Vancouver next. If Japan was willing to attack the U.S. who were neutral that means they might be willing to invade us at any moment with a ruthless attack and end with thousands of innocent people left dead. When this invasion happens it’s unknown which Japanese Canadians are truly loyal to Canada, the un-loyal Japanese Canadians could attack us from the inside and quickly take control of our city. If the invasion is successful Japanese soldiers may do the same thing they did in their invasion of China which was raping, murdering, and torturing innocent people which is my biggest fear that I have of Japan invading us. If Japanese Canadians aren’t put in internment camps it could cause the fall of Vancouver and possibly Canada. Another fear I have from Japanese Canadians is them ruining our economy and them causing many people to lose jobs. Japanese people have been immigrating to Canada for a long time and consistently steal people’s jobs because they work cheaper and for more hours. If Japanese people continue to immigrate here it could cause minimum wage to drop, safety protocols to be removed and reverse all the progress we have made for workers’ rights. The future could have ever profession being Japanese dominated if Japanese Canadians aren’t put in internment camps to slow the takeover of the job market from them. 

Core Competencies

I did analyze evidence from the research I did and made judgements.

I can now understand and tell, after examining the facts of the possible threat from Japanese-Canadians in Canada and the opinions of various people, the difference between fact and opinion.   

I did ask and respond to questions to be an active and supportive listener.

Curricular Competencies

I did assess, understood and explained the significance of the threat of the Japanese army and its treatment of people it conquered, in British Columbia, in my research handout and paragraph. 

I did assess and explained the justification for different views of Japanese-Canadian internment in my research handout and paragraph. 

I did assess and explained the changes the Japanese-Canadians went through. In my research handout.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Collaborating in CLE 10

Reflection

I contribute during group activities with peers and share roles and responsibilities to achieve goals. I showed this by doing my share of the work, adding ideas to my peers work, accepting criticism, and working together. An obstacle I faced was a peer not doing there share of the work, I overcame this obstacle by giving my partner ideas and showing them what to do. I learned that collaborating creates unique answers to questions and is a very fun way to do work. I can apply this to every day life by giving friends ideas on how to solve problems and working together with more people. Collaborating is important in every day life because there are always things that you can’t fully answer or solve and having a peer to help you well allow you to solve things faster.

Social Awareness And Responsibility in CLE 10

My Artifacts

Reflection

I learnt how to browse careers that fit me and decide which is the best one for me. I did this by looking at the future of the career, researching the work environment, and seeing what skills are. I also decided which school and which program would be best for the career I choose. Finally I learnt how to demonstrate everything I learnt about the career I choose in a brochure that shows the key points I researched.
