My Grade 9 Year

Some of my strengths this year for me have been my leadership. I chose this as my strength because usually when I am in groups and people are quite I sort of take over as I can tell that no one else wants to. I usually am the loudest and talking the most trying to bring people together. One of my weaknesses is my procrastination. Procrastinations can be something very small to something very big. For me I procrastinate a lot and it is starting to become a big issue. I am trying my best to finish everything on time and well as soon as I can. That is how I am trying to fix my struggles.

A Useful Educational Website

https://www.youtube.com/

The reason I chose this website is because I used youtube a lot during last and this semester for educational purposes. It helped me a lot with math and science and it was able to explain complex things in simple and understanding ways.

A Useful Educational Video

The reason I chose this video is because it helped me a lot with math. This semester I had math for the first time in high school and it was a big jump and challenge for me and in the first bit I was falling behind because I was not prepared for this hardship. I was especially falling behind with polynomials and I decided to try and figure out how to do them on my own time, This is the main video I used to understand and learn polynomials.

A Useful Educational Image

The reason I chose this image is because in middle school I never studied once but I relised that I was going to have to in high school. I relized that there where more effective ways and I could learn things to help me study effectively and effiecently. This image helped me a lot with that

An Inspirational Quote

When you have a dream, youve got to grab it and never let go – Carol Burnett.

The reason I chose this quote is because I personally believe that if you have a dream you can achieve it you just have to put in the work. Dreams are not just something you wonder if you can do. They are goals and things that you need to try your hardest to achieve and that is why I chose this quote

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

So you know who your money is going to. If it is a struggling family business or a multi millionaire. It makes you think over what your buying and you might spend an extra couple bucks to support the struggling family business.

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

ethical, emotional

For me ethical works best on me because when I see somebody with a lot of following recommend something I feel naturally drawn towards it. Especially if I like the person that is recommending it. Like I would rather buy something like a face cleanser if a celebrity with smooth skin says its good vs something like logical where they talk about like 50% of dead skin removed and talk about statistics.

· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

Emotional because you can relate more with it like if I see an add on halls when I have a really sore throat and see the actor going through the same thing I am, for me it works really well.

Core Competency Reflection

  1. I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by…

    I am clear on this because collaboration is more serious and balanced then group work because collaboration is everyone collaborating together and tooken more serious while group work could be just one person doing everything. Often times in group work it is one person doing majority of the work while when its collaborative everyone is usually doing equal amounts

2. If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to…

If there is ever a disagreement between my group I usually take a vote. I find this effective and fair because if two people have a disagreement on something we could all colaboritivly vote together to decide which opionion we prefer/agree with as a group.

3. I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by…

I make a effort to include missing voices and perspectives by asking everyone in the group about what they think and there opionions to make sure they are involved. I sort of take the leader role most of the time when I am in group settings and one of the most important thing is hearing everyones opionion and making sure we all agree.

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

When I work with people I dont know well I like to do ice breakers and ask them questions about themselves/ there thoughts about the project to get out of an awkward quiet stage where no one wants to talk or say there opionion and we can work the most with the most effort and effectiveness.

Goal. Productivity and handing in things on time
I need to work on this goal because one of my biggest weakness in school has been my procrastination. This has brought my grade down in many subjects and gives me stress. Always saving it for later and sometimes not even handing projects in on time has been my biggest weakness and something I need to work on.

Is Violence justified in a Revolution?

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

They helped us answer questions as an AI’s perspective which is a bit different then mine and they helped me get research because it gave me more specefic answers then a article or browser.

B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI

Because I read the work the AI gave me and rewrote it in my own words and my own way of saying it so it does not look like a AI wrote it 

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

I agree with the posisition I was in. I agree because I think that in a revolution that violence is justified because its for a better overall cause. People dying happens in every revolution and I believe that if no damage happens that people wont take it as serious as if there was. Thats why I agree with the position I had.

Core Competency Reflection

I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by how much we relied on each other because if were a team one peson could of dragged the other down thankfully thats not the case since we both did what was asked but in simple group work its a lot less reliant on the other.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I get to know them as soon as possible and like to exchange information so we can talk out side of school if we need help

Brazil

Comparison to your home country

Brazil has multiple holidays like carnival kids day and independence day for them is September 7th. While they do celebrate the holidays we celebrate like Christmas they don’t celebrate it as much as a present under a tree holiday but more of a religious holiday. For landmarks Canada has landmarks such as the CN Tower in Toronto, Niagara falls, and the Great lakes Brazil is home to iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon Rainforest. Canada is known for ice hockey and lacrosse, sports that are a big part of Canadas culture, with the National Hockey League (NHL) being a big part of Canada. Brazil is known for there football (soccer) skills, with a passionate fan base of the sport and a history of success in the FIFA World Cup. Canada focuses more on indigenous heritage, emphasizing winter sports, while Brazil has Carnival and vibrant music. Despite differences, both nations have a festive spirit and an appreciation for outdoor activities. Canada has a diverse music scene, from rock with artists like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell to rap and hip hop with artists like drake the weeknd and Shawn Mendes. The country also has a great arts scene, with places like the National Gallery of Canada. Brazil is known for its samba and bossa nova music, with artists like Antonio Carlos Jobin and João Gilberto. Brazilian art is often characterized by colorful and expressive forms, with figures that stand out like Candido Portinari.

Core Competency Reflection

I can show sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. I chose this core competency because I put pride into my work doing my best with this assignment and I was extremely joyful after receiving my mark. I work with others to achieve a goal. I chose this because me and Jimin both wanted the same goal and to get a good mark so we worked together and created a good project together. I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear and organized way. I chose this core competency because I know a lot about brazil while Jimin doesn’t so I shared a lot of information about brazil and various things about the country with him. I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences. I chose this core competency because I have been to brazil multiple times in this project I was able to answer off my head and based off my experiences being there and can create connections. I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but use that to develop my ideas. I need to work on this core competency because when I have a issue or get stuck on something I usually just procrastinate to fixing it or sometimes I even give up. But I realize that, that is a very bad habit and I need to learn how to learn off of my mistakes. I will achieve this by doing my homework sooner and when I get stuck on something I will keep working on it till I completed it or I studied over everything and am prepared for what is next.
