There are many examples found within the literature that illustrates the character of Mooch. Mooch is a persevering individual. To begin Mooch is resilient. After witnessing a terrible tragedy ” [he] still walks across the bridge everyday” showing how he won’t sucrose to the same tragedy as his friend. Even though Anna and Mooch both went through a lot of trauma, he walks across that bridge persevering through life. In addition, Mooch is strong. He went through a lot in his past at residential school when he was “put in the basement with the shadows” and he was kept from his family and home. The Shadows would torture him and do things that are unspeakable so for him to get out there alive shows how strong Mooch is. Finally Mooch is a remorseful person. As Floyd an Anna’s kid comes to visit and Mooch see’s Christine, he mistakes her for Anna “grabbing on to her arm, [he] won’t let go” just like he wishes he never let Anna go at the bridge. He feels guilt for not stopping her and Floyd’s daughter, who looks so much like Anna gave him a chance to do what he wishes he had done. To conclude, it is evident from the examples provided that Mooch is a determined individual, who pushes through all the hardship in his life.
A titration is the slow addition of a know solution and its concentration to a other solution with an unknown concentration. The titration allows you to slowly add the solution until you complete a reaction and helps you determine the concentration of the unknown solution. You add an indicator into your unknown solution which helps you know when your reaction is complete. In the lab we used the titration to determine the concentration of HCl by mixing in NaOH. The end point of a titration is when the reaction is complete which you can tell when the unknown solution with the indicator starts to change colours. The endpoint of the titration can be determined by the change of color, the indicator in the solution turns pink but to know its balanced you want to achieve a very faint light pink. For the lab me and my partner were able to achieve a faint light pink 3 of the 4 attempts. We found that our 1st attempt and 4th attempt agreed with each other by 0.1. We found our average volume oh NaOH used was 13.58ml+-0.2ml. We determined the HCL 0.00136M.
Core competency reflection
critical and reflective thinking
when doing this lab I used critical and reflective thinking. Doing titrations are very specific and it was critical to put the right amount of solution in order to get the reaction we wanted. I was critical as we added drops of the solution, taking our time between each drop and when we had a bad reaction we reflected on what we could have done better and applied it to our next trial.
For the green parabola, my parent function y = x2is the basic function. It’s the function that’s axis of symmetry is 0, doesn’t open wide or very narrow, won’t shift left or right. For my purple parabola, its function f(x)= 8(x+2)2 +2 has the k value +2 which makes my parabola shift up. My a value 8 is (a>1) makes my parabola narrow. My function has a -2 for the h so it shifts to the left. For my black parabola f(x)= (x-3)2 -1, since my h is positive 3, my parabola shifts to the right. My k value -1 makes my vertex lower. For my red parabola f(x)= -1/3(x-1)2 has an a value of -1/3. the -1/3 makes my parabola open down and wider since (a<1). My h value of positive 1 shifts the parabola right and since my function has no k value it doesn’t more up or down. For my blue parabola f(x)= -2(x+2)2 +1, my a value -2 is making the parabola open down but also wider since (a<1) and the -2 as my h value shifts the parabola left. finally my k value +1 shifts the parabola up one.
Self Assessment
For the assignment I was able to show the same mathematical idea in multiple ways. I was able to put it into a graph to show a visualization as well as explain it through my writing. Some of the relevant mathematical terminology that I used was (a<1) and (a>1) which was a shorter way to say that my a value which controls how wide or narrow my parabola will be is greater or less than 1. I also referred to H which is the value that determines if my parabola is going to shift left or right. It’s also the x value of my vertex. The other letter I refer to is K, this is what moves my parabola up and down and is the y value of my vertex. I was able to get these definitions of my notes and examples and put them into my own words to try and make it clear. My formatting can help viewers understand my graph better. Since each explanation corresponds with a different parabola, I colour coded it so that the colour of the parabola is the same as the explanation.
I think our criminal justice system should be more rehabilitative. When someone commits a crime there tends to be a motive regarding the ones that go to jail, it might be revenge or money but that’s things that over time could be prevented. I think some criminals do deserve more severe punishments buts the system should be working on making it lower not adding to it with more punishment. Rehabilitation can lead to more people changing less crimes when they are released, sets an example for others.
I can analyze evidence to make judgments by going back to past information that has lined up with things that match the prompt. One thing I thought about is the Menendez brothers how they turned their life around in prison getting degrees and paint walls. When they were in there they set examples for others and will be able to walk society not easier but a bit more caught up.
This year things I will do to stay physically and mentally healthy is to eat well balanced meals get at least 1 hour of physical activity a day and to get 8 hours of sleep. I understand that some days I will have more work to do and I will learn to split my time evenly so that I can stay focused on giving myself me time.
This year I will respectfully advocate for my needs by speaking to my teachers and asking for help when I need help with challenging assignments or if I need more time to complete something. I will speak up for things that will help me improve myself as a student and person.
I can get new ideas or reinterpret others’ ideas in a novel way
Reflection
In the assignment we had to recreate a black and white photo. We had to learn how to correctly use our exposure to convey a message without color. We also had to use our understanding of the elements of art and principle of design to help tell the story. With this photo we had to reinterpret a girl studying. I had to come up with ways to have the scene be similar and also have the light come through at the right spot and amount. It was hard to do correctly and it took several tries in different locations to get the perfect photo. I used my peers idea to get a better idea of how to get good lighting that would match the photo. In the final photo you can see how we used lines and shapes as elements of art, we also used balance as principle of design. At the end we used each others ideas to edit in a few minor things we missed from the original photo and got a result we were both happy with.
I chose to do a 3 year non redeemable GIC which I thought was the most financially safest option. You earn a good amount of money which is a pro. The downside is that you can’t redeem the money until your 3 years are up. I think this is a good option because unlike stocks that can go down within minutes a GIC is a promised to make you money. This option is best for me because with my money, I like to be financially safe as much as possible. There is a very small risk with a GIC which I like.
over the past day I worked with O and K. I found working with them fun and difficult. I didn’t contribute much to the group mostly because I was gone for half of the lessons and they helped me more than I could help them. They helped me get caught up with what I missed and get me set up with excel.
core competency
I know my group is working well when I hear them sharing ideas and helping each other figure out their mistakes and fix them.
if there is a disagreement in the group I find it helpful to hear both sides and come to a compromise.
I show the others that I value there contributions by taking in everything they offer and saying thank you when they do help.
A digital footprint is data that is left behind every time you go online. There are 2 types of footprints, Passive and Active. Passive footprint is made when information is collected without the person knowing. An Active footprint is where the person knowingly shares information online through social media or websites. Now as we know digital footprints isn’t always secure. The internet gets bigger and bigger, and it becomes more and more important to be aware of what goes online. Even if you delete it, it’s still there. So why should you care about your digital footprint? Information travels quickly and it can be taken out of context. Even if you think it’s not there it is. What you do online can affect your future, sometimes in a good way but also can be bad. Now when getting a job, people will search you up and see what they can find. In some cases that can be the reason you don’t get the job. Some examples of unsafe activities online are posting unkind messages or pictures on social media or websites, cyberbullying, inappropriate messages to people over text or websites, and many other things. Fortunately, there are ways to be safer online and protect your digital footprint. One way is searching yourself up and it may seem weird but it’s a good way to see what online about you. Another way is if you see something misleading or inappropriate about you or someone else, ask the person who put it up to change it or take it down. Things spread fast and can lead to some unfortunate things. Lastly, think before you post or send. Once you send or post, it’s out there and it won’t be able to be taken down. What’s online is always online. And that’s a bit on your digital footprint and some online safety.
I used word art to create this.

Personal/ Social competency Reflection
My online support network is helpful to me because it helps me learn and extend my knowledge. It helps me create work that not only shows my understanding but also give information to others. Some strategies for maintain a balance online presence is limiting how much time I’m on my social media. Setting time to do other things that aren’t on my device are especially helpful. My values around achieving a good mark in school inform my decisions about how much time I spend online and what I do online such as school work or games.
