My artifact is a needle felted garden
For my needle felting project, i used creative thinking to design and shape my piece, I started with an idea of what i wanted to create, but as i worked, I adjusted the design based on how the wool responded. I also looked at other students work for inspiration and tried new techniques to improve my project. This process helped me develop my ideas and problem solving skills as i worked. Next time i would plan out more details ahead of time.
By doing this project, i improved my ability to take information from different sources and organize it clearly. Creating this travel brochure helped me understand how visuals and layouts can help explain scientific ideas, I used creative thinking to choose images and colors that would make the information more interesting. One goal i have going forward is to work on improving my research skills so i can find more detailed and accurate information for future projects.
When i need to boost my mood or re-focus, i listen to music or go on a walk. I did this during the process of building this cabin i was getting frustrated because the glue would dry quickly and not give me enough time for it to stick to the paper. So i put my headphones in and was patient with the process of building this and in the end it worked out.
When i am sad, angry or frustrated, talking to my friends or taking a break helps me be more productive or calm.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by having a conversation with my teacher explaining what i need help with.
One goal i have for the future is getting better at finances. I want to save my money better and i can work on that by putting my money in a investment or savings account.
I use a journal to keep myself organized and manage my time on when I am going to be working on my assignments. I try to prioritize the most difficult classes but also even it out with my least difficult classes, so I complete my assignments by their due date. This strategy works well for me and keeps me up to date with my classes. I use this in all of my classes in grade 9 I struggled a lot with managing my time and this has helped a lot.
I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. I used to struggle with getting my assignments in on time, after I started using the journal to help me manage when I’m going to be doing the assignments it has helped a lot.
2. In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by asking questions and participating in the conversation.
3. Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in was when I missed the CPR test so I used my communication skills to learn more about it and be more prepared for it. I also had to communicate to the CPR dummy asking for its consent to perform CPR.
Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
I created the avatar the way I see her through the ways they’ve described her through the movie.
How did you choose the plot points?
I focused on the important parts of the movie and the parts that stood out to me.
Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?
So you get the idea and can picture the setting more with a picture that matches it.
Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
I picked this song because it matched the energy the book gave me.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by… Taking my time and re thinking examples. I did this because I handed this in late I like to take my time and make sure everything is done.
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… I built on the authors idea of this book. For example when I was making the character I made it different then the way she really looked but I used the authors ideas of the way she described Dumplin.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… Take a break and then refresh my mind of what to do. I did this when I was making slides for this powerpoint. I got stuck on a few slides but I just took my time and took a break to re think what to put down.
Making this pancake my group and I made sure we had the exact measurements. I also made sure my pancakes were similar in size. Some important equipment we used was a rubber flipper to flip the pancakes over making sure they don’t break, a small whisk to whisk the batter all together.
My pancakes tasted amazing, they were super fluffy. I cooked them just in time they were golden brown. I shared my pancakes with my friends out side of the class, they really enjoyed them and complemented how well they tasted.
If the group is not productive, we can discuss how to make things better in order to get things moving in the right direction.

This wasn’t as risky as most options. Although you would still make money.

This was a risky investment and you wouldn’t have made much money.
Pt 4:
I think I worked well with my group. I contributed to my group by asking questions and they would try to help me. I would rate my ability to work with my group a 2 because it wasn’t perfect working with my group but it would be more difficult working alone.
I can describe how to save and invest my money safetly, relates to this experience I will use this when I’m older and I need to know the best ways to make myself money and save.
I used canva.

I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including scary people messaging you through social media. So I adjust my actions by not posting much of myself on social media just private accounts with people I know and trust.
