Rustic Bread

__________________________________

Making and Sharing Reflection

Firstly, making rustic bread was a great experience where I worked individually but also learned from others when needed. I followed a clear step-by-step plan: reading the recipe carefully, filling out the recipe worksheet, and actively participating in the demonstrations. Nevermore, I made changes as needed, like adding more water when the dough was too dry. Being flexible and paying close attention helped me succeed in making the bread. For myself, this taught me how important preparation and adapting during cooking really are.

Next, after making the rustic bread, I decided to share it with my family because they enjoy homemade bread the most. Sharing it with them helped me get honest feedback on the taste and texture. Furthermore, together, we critically evaluated the recipe and agreed that the bread was crusty on the outside and soft inside, which was a success. However, we also thought it could be improved by letting the dough rise a little longer next time for a fluffier texture. Overall, in the end, sharing the bread made the experience more meaningful and helped me learn how to improve for future baking.

Firstly, I focus carefully during demonstrations and instructions to catch every detail. This helps me follow the recipe more accurately and avoid errors. Being an active listener also allows me to understand tips and tricks that improve my cooking, for me in my opinion personally.

2. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to…
Secondly, I ask questions to make sure everyone understands the plan before we start. Not too mention, I would sometimes repeat important points so that we are all on the same page. This helps us work together smoothly and avoid confusion, an example could be, working at the same pace so we can put our bread in the oven on time.

3. My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks is…
Thirdly, I read the recipe thoroughly before starting and highlight key steps or ingredients. During demonstrations, I take notes and watch carefully to see how things are done. This helps me gather all the details needed to complete the task well.

4. I show that I value feedback from others in my group by…
Fourthly, I listen carefully when others share their ideas or suggestions. Also, I try to understand their perspective and think about how their feedback can improve the recipe or process. When it makes sense, I make changes based on their input to help the group succeed.

Goal

As an active listener, I can improve my ability to follow instructions more accurately. By focusing fully when someone is explaining a recipe or demonstrating a technique, I catch important details I might otherwise miss. This helps me avoid mistakes and cook more confidently. I also ask clarifying questions when I’m unsure, which shows I’m engaged and want to understand better. Listening actively allows me to learn from others’ tips and feedback, improving my skills faster. Overall, being an active listener makes me a better team member and cook.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain school relationships are…

First of all, some of the way’s I work to both build, and maintain school relationship’s, is by always being kind, and welcoming to others within the classroom, no matter what circumstance. Too be more specific, I make sure to welcome, and say “Hi” Too my teacher, or smile, most times than not.

This show’s that I can maintain a good school relationship with my teacher, rather than glaring, nor just ignoring my teacher as a whole, which would eventually develop a negative relationship.

Secondly, I maintain a pretty good relationship with my peer’s, by always staying kind and welcoming too others within the class. Even if I don’t specifically like that one person, I’ll always try and be nice to them, in order to keep a good and decent relationship with that specific person.

Some work habits that worked well for me this semester in Social Studies 9 were…

Next, some work habit’s that worked very well for me this semester, in Social Studies 9, were generally using flash card’s. In most of my other classes, like Science, I would just say the specific definition too myself, and immediately remember it after 5-10 minute’s, but in a course like Social Studies 9, you wouldn’t really be able too do that, since you need to remember specific significant influences, certain timelines, and more.

So, using flashcard’s for me, is way easier, as I can write multiple points on one flashcard for a specific part of that unit, than use that one flashcard too remember multiple point’s for a quarter of a unit.

An example could be in the French Revolution, where I could use one card too write about the guillotine, the death of significant influences from the guillotine, and the cause and effect from the guillotine.

Some ways that I can improve my work habits for next year in Social Studies 10 are…

Next, some way’s I can improve my work habits for next year in Social’s Studies 9, is overall just paying more attention in class, as a whole. Obviously, if you pay more attention in class, and actually do something like taking notes, rather than falling asleep or listening too music during a specific lesson, wouldn’t really help you in the long run, rather than doing something productive and not needing too do much homework at home after.

If I tried too pay more attention in Social Studies 10 next year, I think it would definitely have an improvement with both my work habit’s and work goal’s. Also, another way I can improve my work habit’s for Social Studies 10 next year, is overall trying harder in the course as a whole.

By doing…in the classroom, I make a positive difference to my peers because…

By properly communicating and including myself in group project’s within the classroom, I can make a positive difference to my peers because, first of all, respectfully and kindly talking with my peers during group projects, rather than just sitting there staying silent with nothing too say, would generally help me make a better positive influence on my peers.

This would both help making them feel more comfortable around me, rather than thinking they did something wrong if I just sit their and stare at them, and help with me properly doing my part of the work in the group project.

Overall, I think that if I just sat their like some of my other group project partner’s did, they would get an uneasy feeling from me, as I felt pretty awkward when certain group partner’s would just sit their and go on their phone, doing little to no work at all.

________________________________________________________________

One Goal

Some ways that I can improve my work habits for next year in Social Studies 10 are…

As you read my paragraph for this prompt from above, I am working towards paying more attention in class, because it will generally help me a lot more, rather than falling asleep or listening too music during a specific lesson in the long run. Nevermore, paying attention in class would overall be a better choice, than not paying attention in class.

What I’ll do too achieve that goal, is by getting more sleep overnight, since my Social Studies 9 is in my first block of school, I’m more tired and sleepy then. Even if next year my Social’s Studies 10 is not in the flirst block, generally getting more sleep would potentinally help me out in staying awake in class, and more.

Another way I can work towards properly achieving this goal, is by actually listening to the teacher. Most of the time, I’m talking to my friends, rather than actually paying attention to the teacher, which is not only disrespectful too the teacher, but, also, personally not helping me out in the long run with remembering what was said in the specific lesson.

Collaboration

______________________________________________________________________________

Artifact

Baby Lab

______________________________________________________________________________

First of all, this was a Baby Lab, which was one of the lab’s we completed and worked on during the unit of Biology, in Science 10 Accelerated.

Nevermore, I demonstrated collaboration in this Baby Lab, in many way’s. The first way I have demonstrated a decent core competency of collaboration, is by thoroughly and properly working alongside my partner within this specific lab. Both me and my partner, communicated properly, both sharing our personal thought’s on what we should name the baby, talking specifically about what were supposed to be doing in this lab, helping each other along the way, and much more.

Furthermore, another way I have displayed decent collaboration skill’s during this lab, is by making sure that both me and my partner were on the same page, instead of just rushing ahead and not checking in with him. For example, when we were rolling the dice, I noticed that I was far ahead of him, and that he didn’t quite get any of the specific answer’s I had rolled for each trait. So, instead of waiting for him to ask me, or in general, just not communicating at all, I decided too show him the answer’s I got, so mu partner can write them down, instead of my partner having to reroll everything for the sake of me not communicating.

Lastly, one of my final examples on how I demonstrated the core competency collaboration, is by constantly communicating with my partner throughout this Baby Lab. We collaborated and communicated with our answer’s, and more, but specifically, made sure to check in on if we were both on the same page when we were almost done rolling the dice. Indeed, their were many misunderstandings, as both me and my partner wrote different name’s for the baby, and had gotten many different trait answer’s, but in the end, we both decided to properly fix what was wrong with what we had done, making sure we both had the same answer’s and correct baby name in the end.

Overall, I think that I had decent collaboration skill’s in the lab, as I was able to properly and successfully communicate and collaborate with my partner, making sure that everything was going right, without just being silent and not saying anything at all.

Is Violence Justified During a Revolution or Protest?

A) How Did The Use of AI Assist You in Developing This Project.

The use of AI, helped to assist me in this project, by in general, really just helping me. For explanation, the use and tool of AI really helped me when I was looking for specific event’s to connect to my prompt’s, safe and great website’s that would be easy to both cite and read, supporting point’s and idea’s for each reason I gave, and much more. I could say that, AI did make a huge influence on this project, as it saved me a lot of time on researching, as well as just enhancing and making my project have a better quality in the end.

In conclusion, I’d say that AI has influenced the quality of my project, and in general, just naturally helped everything about this Social’s and ADL project seem more together. Using AI as a tool in this way, is a great way to collect trust resources, and expand on wider ideas that you might have not thought of.

B) How Did you Ensure That The Work you Created was Still Your Own, Rather Than Just a Product of AI.

I would say that even when I asked the AI tool for idea’s, or such ways to set up or start my sentence, I still added and adjusted it to fit my work ethics. For example, rather than just asking AI to write a paragraph for me about a certain specific topic, I would ask this AI tool to offer me multiple resource’s, like website’s, or idea’s given by the AI tool so I could properly form and write my own paragraph myself.

In my opinion, I would say that I used the AI tool in a way to help me, and expand on my ideas and natural abilities, whereas rather than just using AI as a cheat code through this project, and not properly adding in and combining my own work ethics.

C) Did You Agree With The Position You Had to Argue? Why or Why not?

For me, I would agree with the position and side I was arguing for. Likewise, I was arguing for the non-violence side, or in different term’s, negative side. In my opinion, the reason why I would agree with this position and side of the argument, is because, of course, violence might have to be the answer to many occasion’s and situation’s at certain time’s, but causing and choosing to use violence as a tool in activities such as protest’s, or revolution’s, without even having the proper right or need of creating the idea of violence in these situation’s, just doesn’t sit right with me. Rather than resorting too violence during these activities, peaceful protest’s or revolution’s where no violence is needed is quite better, as always resorting to violence can lead too many innocent lives’ being hurt or at risk, and at the cost of something more than just a “Protest” Happening.

So yes, to wrap it up, I do agree with my side and position of the argument, as I think it quite frankly make’s sense and does have more supporting evidence as to why we shouldn’t resort to violence without the actual need of it.

Core Competency Reflection

(Choose Two of The Prompt’s to Write About)

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I… 

When I have to work collaboratively with people, or peer’s I frankly don’t really know well, I will always try and start a conversation with them, possibly getting to know this fellow human being better. This is so, in general, I know more about this person, and I can get to know their work habit’s and personality, which would help me out with adjusting my work ethic’s and habit’s to slightly match there’s.

For example, to be more clear, if I’m collaborating with someone who isn’t so talkative, I would take the initiative to be more talkative and friendly towards them, as I’ll more than likely make them feel a bit more comfortable, rather than just being shy ad sitting their, getting no work done too. In contrast, if I was speaking and collaborating with someone who was much more extroverted and talkative, I would take a step back and be more quite and observing, as I would give them a proper chance to explain their personal ideas and would let them properly speak without me interrupting or being quite loud too.

So, in conclusion, when I need to work collaboratively with other’s I don’t know well, I will slowly adjust myself to their own work ethic’s and personality, in order to make sure both me and my peer or person is comfortable and able to collaborate effectively.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to… 

For me, one of the way’s I would ensure my group is properly clear on the common purpose, is by of course, always checking in with my group, and clearly collaborating with each individual well. Making sure that each specific group member is doing their fair share of the project and work, as well as checking in if that certain group member is doing it correctly and wisely, is what would in general, help with making sure each group member properly knows what they are doing, including the entire group as a general knowing the main motive and purpose.

This is one of the way’s I always make sure that me and my group are clear on the common purpose. If I didn’t do this, then I would assume than depending on the group, some group member’s may end up not doing any work at all, and not properly communicating with the group as a whole to know what their main motive and focus is supposed to be. Collaborating and communicating in general with your group is a huge part to making sure the group as a whole knows the common purpose of what we are supposed to do.

To wrap it up, this is one of my way’s I would make sure the entire group knows the main purpose, including that each and every group member properly knows their individual focus, and the specific steps to moving forward in whatever current project doing or needed.

______________________________

My Grade 9 Year

This year, I learned and overcame many challenge’s, academically and socially. Academically, I’ve learned so much more material, than I ever knew about specific subject’s like Biology, or Chemistry, which fascinates me a lot. Socially, I made and interacted with many new people within this school. Furthermore, I am most proud of having at least a certain decent grade within most of my classes, as I thought my grade would drastically drop in high school. High school has taught me many new thing’s, that I thought I would’ve never known or learned in middle school. In conclusion, for me, high school has been a interesting experience so far, and I hope I make more loving memories for the rest of my grade 9 year, and year’s to come.

“A Useful Educational Website”

https://www.mathway.com/Algebra

A website, that I started to use a lot when I had Math in first semester, was Math Way. I chose Math Way, because it helped me solved difficult math problem’s, by showing very clearly, setup by step explanations. Furthermore, this website supported my learning by allowing me to check my answer’s, and understand the different problem solving methods I could learn and use for each specific unit within Math that I learned this year.

________________________________

“A Useful Educational Video”

For me, I chose this video because it explains algebra in a simple, yet engaging way, making it easier to understand the basic concept’s of algebra. The step by step explanations, and clear visual’s helped me grasp the important ideas that were sometimes significantly confusing in class. This video made learning algebra more approachable for me, and gave me a solid foundation for more advanced Math topic’s too cover. Nevermore, since I completely forgot what I covered or learned about in grade 8 about algebra, this video really helped to get my memory flowing back about this specific Math topic.

__________________________________

“A Useful Educational Image”

I decided to choose this image, because it visually represents an important scientific process, making it easier to understand how matter cycle’s through the environment. Seeing the different stages in a clear diagram, helped me connect concepts I learned within Science class, like how carbon move’s through atmosphere, plants, animals, and even soil. This image made the topic more engaging and helped reinforce my understanding, of one of the many ecological system’s I have learned this school year.

“A Useful Educational Quote”

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs

I chose this quote, because it resonates with how I approach my studies, and personal growth. This year, I’ve learned that when I genuinely try to enjoy the process of learning and solving problem’s, I do better and feel more motivated, rather than being negative about the material I’m currently learning. It reminds me that passion, and dedication make even the toughest assignment’s or specific courses more rewarding.

Question’s

____________________________________________

A) How do you feel you progressed in this course throughout the semester? Some thing’s to discuss include areas of growth or improvement, areas that still need work next year, or specific experiences or lessons that stood out for you?

I feel that I’ve progressed well throughout this semester. At the start of this semester, I wasn’t the best at Math, and I usually got Developing. But as I started to listen closely, study more, and read question’s more carefully, I had mostly gotten Proficient.

I think I’ll have to improve my word problem taling skill’s for grade 10, as well as graphing equations. Overall, I feel good about how much I’ve progressed throughout this semester.

B) What personal goal’s did you set for youraelf prior to this course? Did you meet or exceed these goal’s? Did you learn any strategies to help you self-regulate your homework/study habits? Are there any examples of you self-advocating for yourself when you tace a challenging situation or lessons?

My personal goal’s, was to exceed atleast an Proficient this semester. I feel like I did meet this goal, as most of my tests were marked Proficient. Whenever I faced a challenging situation, or lesson, I asked the teacher or pre-tutor for help, whiched incredibly helped me.

C) What is one thing you felt you have improved on this senester? (Does not yave to he content based) How can you further use this strength inn your next educational endeavour?

One thing I have improved this semester, is algebra and polynomial’s. I can further use this strength, during Math 10. Since Math 10 is widely focused on algebra and polynomial’s, this will help me a lot.

D) Are there any other comments on your experience in this course?

I think that Math teacher Mr. Sun is a really good teacher, and help you throughly understand each specific Math topic properly. Mr. Sun is very good teacher too has, it would he cool to be in Mr. Sun class again for Math in Math 10 and Math 11 and Math 12 PUH-lease!!!!!!!!!!

R4 – Supaidaman

How does the story of Spiderman (Western) differ from Supaidaman (Japanese)?

The Western and Japanese version’s of Spiderman differ significantly, in their origins, themes, reflecting the cultures that created them. An example from one of the many Western Spiderman movies, could be that Peter Parker, gains his powers from a radioactive spider bite, emphasizing themes of responsibility and personal growth, as he navigates life as a teenager in NYC. Whereas, we see that in Japanese Supaidaman, Takuya Yamashiro, acquires his abilities through alien technology, introducing more of a science fiction storyline, involving a giant robot named Leo pardon and the battle against the Iron Cross Army.

While the Western version blends humor, drama, and somewhat a sense of realism, the Japanese adaption leans into a darker tone of exaggerated battles. These differences highlight how Spiderman’s story has been adapted to generally suit the values and entertainment styles of different cultures.

Were there moments that made you laugh, cry, or feel particularly invested? Explain.

I did not feel invested, nor did I laugh or cry while watching this version of Spiderman. One reason for this, is that the story and characters felt too over the top and unrealistic for my taste. The giant robot, Leo pardon, and the constant battles with strange looking aliens made it hard to take the plot seriously or connect emotionaly with the characters. The lack of depth in the storyline and character development did not give me much reason to care about what was happening.

As a result, it was difficult for me to feel any strong kind of connections or emotions while watching this Japanese adaption of Spiderman.

Would you recommend this show to others? Why or why not?

I wouldn’t recommend this show because it feels outdated and too focused on flashy action scenes. The special effects an costumes are clearly from an older era, which can make the show feel less appealing to more recent generations. The villains an battles, while creative, often come across as quite repetitive and predictable, which takes away from the excitement. While I wouldn’t recommend it to Gen Alpha or Gen Z, older generation’s may be more interested, which would lead me to recommend it to them.

Overall, it doesn’t offer the kind of depth or originality that many people expect in a superhero story today. (Excluding older generations)

What do you think future generations will think about our media?

Future generations, might look at our media as a reflection of the values, technology, and issues of our time. they could see it as both creative and flawed, depending on the content. on one hand, they might admire the way people used advanced technology, like CGI and streaming planforms like Twitch, to create immersive stories and share diverse perspectives. On the other hand, they might criticize how much our media focuses on trends, franchises, and a shallow entertainment instead of addressing deeper topics or creating truly original stuff. Additionally, they may find some aspects, like social media influencers or meme cultures, either strange and outdated, or funny, depending on their view of it.

Overall, future generations might view our media as a mix of hilarious ideas, and a past look on the media, showing how the media used to be before evolving to whatever it will in the future.

Curricular Response

Explain how this assignment reflects both the strengths and the weaknesses in your work. For example, what in this poem is good that you will continue to make sure you do, and then what about this poem is something you might change to improve your writing or presentation.

This assignment reflects both the strengths and weaknesses in my work. One strength is the vivid imagery in my poem, like “Snowflakes fall in silent grace” and “Icicles hang like frozen glass,” which creates a clear, peaceful picture of Winter. Additionally, I maintained a calm and reflective tone throughout my poem, which is something I’ll continue to focus on in future writing. However, a weakness was my presentation, I only read half of the poem, and my timing was to short, falling below the two minute requirement. This made it difficult for my peer’s to fully appreciate my poem. To improve, I need to practice my delivery ahead of time, and ensure I finish the entire reading, even if I feel nervous.

In conclusion, while my writing skill’s are decently okay, I’ll need to work on presenting my work efficiently, and getting over the fear of stage fright.

Think generally about you and your work: describe what completing assignments is like for you? Easy? Hard? Why is it easy or hard? Or what specific parts are easy or hard? Or what kinds of assignments/work is easier or more enjoyable for you than others? What things outside of a formal school situation do you do that help you succeed in English?

First of all, completing assignment’s for me depends on the specific type of assignment I’m doing. Most of the assignment’s I have completed in English 9 have been fairly easy, excluding the group activities or presentation assignment. Writing task’s, like essays or poems, are easier for me, because I can work at my own pace. However, group activities or presentations are harder because they require speaking in front of others, which make’s me feel tense and angry.

Outside of school, reading books, watching movies, and even casual writing, like texting, help me improve my English skills. These activities build my creativity and vocabulary, making writing assignment’s in general, feel more manageable.

Persuasion and Advertising Learning Reflection

Which advertising technique did you choose and how did you use that technique to create your poster?

The advertising technique’s I have chosen, is both the bandwagon and special offer technique! When creating my ad, I decided to use bandwagon technique, by writing following word you may see on the top. In which, states “Don’t miss out, join in on the fun!” I use this technique, because more than often, I see many ad that include written example, like “Don’t be the only one! Get the new Subway footlong cookie now!” Or, well, something along the lines of that.

Now, for how I incorporated special offer technique into my ad, is, as you can see, the written text which states “Epic sale, up to 50% off!” So, how this text showed I used special offer technique, is by stating the Christmas ornament is up to 50% off, claiming it to be an epic sale too! Instead of adding in the price of the Christmas ornament, I wrote a tiny text at bottom stating you could order one at [Insert phone number] and [Insert website] so, the audience doesn’t exactly know the original price, whereas if I wrote the original price straight on the ad, it would have a different effect.

Explain how and why you chose the colors, words, background, etc. that you used to make your advertisement. 

Well, first of all, when using the AI, it generated me many image, but I liked this one! So, the golden & red were already part of my ad. Now, I establish to make the main text a variation of red & green! So, mostly because these color’s are really for the festive season, but, another reason would be that generally, using bold color like red, green, pink, and more… would rather capture the attention of the audience. If I use a softer color like gray, it would withdraw the attention I would get for my ad.

Okay, so, for background, I feel like using a background with multiple item’s of the product you are advertising is quite distracting. Instead, try and use a picture where their is only one object, leaving all the focus on that one object! If so, including a blurry background, for the viewer’s to really focus on the main object, is quite beneficial too. Which, is basically what I decided to do with the background here.

What do you think others who aren’t in your class should know about advertising? 

I think, that many of my peer’s should understand and recognize when advertiser are manipulating you or not! So, when you see an advertisement, stating something like “Don’t be a loser! Get one if your cool!” You should know that this advertisement is trying to manipulate you to apparently fit in, creating you to buy it. If other student know this, this will be beneficial for them, because they’ll be aware of how each ad trying to use specific strategy technique to convince you!

___________________________________

Core Competency Reflection

This is how I selected images and words to create impact for my planned audience:

Well, when you create advertisement, you should have the main focus, on the product you are selling, and not to mention, the sale! So, when creating ad, you want to have your product as the center of attention. Instead of putting the product on the side of your advertisement, rather put it in the middle, and make sure it’s shown huge, so people can actually attract their attention to it!

And, try to write sale & key word big, so the audience can really see it! If you write it small, or to many word, that will just draw attention away from your ad, as well as the writing being to small. Displaying both on advertisement huge will benefit the advertiser, and driving viewers to look at the ad.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is…

Well, foremost, the advertising techniques! Though, I decided to build upon this, and slightly in my opinion, improve it. Then, I would look at other advertisement as an main example of how a ad should generally look like, and then build off that! Like, rather than adding a few huge snowflakes on your advertisement at the few corners, add smaller size snowflake’s all around your ad!

Too add on, I want to use multiple technique for my ad, rather than using just one advertising technique shown. Since, I see most of my peer’s decide to use only one advertise technique for their ad, I use two, since I feel like a combination of two specific advertising technique’s could really go good together!

During the project, I would say there are many time I did build off of someone idea, rather that was the most bland idea ever, or a tiny detail I enjoyed seeing that I thought I could add some creativity too.

R3 – School Life

How does school in Japan compare to Canada?

First of all, school’s in Japan and Canada differ in several key areas. Including such as academic structure, culture, and school life. Japanese schools are known for their strict discipline, and academic difficulty. If we take a look at the daily life of a Japanese student, we can conclude that students are expected to wear uniforms and follow a set of strict behavioral rules daily, as well as maintaining respect for their educators.

In addition, Canadian schools tend to offer more flexibility, mainly speaking, of the relaxed system Canadian schools have, compared to Japanese schools. Usually, Canadian schools do not require the need of a uniform, specific backpack, nor a harsh dress code.

Furthermore, while both systems offer a well-rounded education, we can tell from the few things noted, that Japanese schools often prioritize preparation for entrance exams to universities, whereas Canadian schools tend too categorize and cater specific interests depending on the student. In conclusion, each system has it’s own values and differences, prioritizing different topics, and so on.

Is there anything they do in Japan, that you wish we did at Centennial?

Initially, I think a few potential thing’s that Japanese schools do, would be beneficial if Centennial had done too. Mainly talking, dress codes would play a better part within the Centennial school. As Japanese school’s require, your aren’t allowed to wear specific accessories, products, and more. If Centennial had a similar foundation to this, as in not wearing revealing clothes, I honestly think this would potentially improve the image of the school significantly.

Nevermore, another thing that Japanese school’s do, which I think Canadian school’s could do, would be cleaning around the room before class ends. I’ve noticed that many peers are quite unorganized, so if adding the rule of potentially cleaning the entire room instead of a janitor doing it, would help teach unorganized peers to be better organized.

Do you think that students should have more responsibilities at school like cleaning duty or for clubs/sports? Why?

Assumably, yes. If student’s at Canadian school’s had more responsibilities, this would influence the productivity of most peers. I feel like many student’s at school often don’t hand assignments in, neither attend class. Adding more responsibilities onto students, like managing a club, or cleaning after a class would help towards everyone in general, as well as teaching students topics like staying organized, managing a club, or learning a new sport.

How lucky are you in じゃんけん？Would you be able to snag leftovers?

If our school were to provide lunch for us, I feel like I wouldn’t be very lucky with じゃんけん! Hence the luck based game to snag the leftovers, I would highly likely not be able to sag the leftovers, as I’m not that lucky to begin with.

If the game was something else (An example being a race, or who could stand on one foot the longest) I’d assumably have a higher chance of winning じゃんけん.
