My First Year

my grade 9 year

This year I realized I learn best by only working on four subjects at a time which is why i like this semester system that we did not have in middle school, it has allowed me to concentrate on fewer subjects at a time so as a result i have been getting better marks in my classes

a useful educational website

https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=34634f05adc6a6c4JmltdHM9MTcxMTU4NDAwMCZpZ3VpZD0zOWVjNGQxZC0wYjNmLTYxYzgtMmYxMy01ZmU0MGFjZjYwZGMmaW5zaWQ9NTIyNQ&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=39ec4d1d-0b3f-61c8-2f13-5fe40acf60dc&psq=duolingo+website+link&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZHVvbGluZ28uY29tLw&ntb=1

i chose the Duolingo website because this year i chose not to take a language as an elective but with Duolingo i was still able to learn a language outside of school and with Duolingo i have more language options than with a regular high school class for example i am currently learning Scottish Gaelic.

A Useful Educational Video

i chose this video because it has helped me calculate some square root numbers and it is especially useful to people like me who really struggle in math because she explains it really simply.

A Useful Educational Image

i chose this picture because it has inspired me to read more this school year and no i have found my love of reading and i have become a better and faster reader over the course of this year.

An Inspirational Quote

you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

-Wayne Gretzky

i chose this quote because i have a dream job i want to do one day but i am constantly second guessing if i am good enough for it and thinking i am never going to make it and that makes me want to give up but then i remember this quote and i remember that if i do give up then i will truly never make it and it inspires me to never give up.

My Study Skills:

I can gather, select, evaluate and synthesize information

I have shown that I can gather information when I created notes to help me study I gathered all of the information that we learned about and that also shows’ that I can select and synthesize because I wright it in my own words meaning I can’t put every single detail so I had to select what to put in my notes and putting it in notes shows’ that I can synthesize information this has helped me improve this semester because now i keep my information more organized to help me gather information.

I can explore and engage with materials and sources

I have used many sources like your power points, hand outs, text books and some online source’s and I have shown that I can engage with the text by creating notes in my own words so that I end up summarizing it and studies show that summarizing information into your own words can help you remember the information better this has helped me this semester because I have felt more confident going to assessments because the information has not left my brain instead I have actually remembered the information.

sorry that I put the audio file on teams but everything that would let me put it on edublog was not working

Is it justified to deny peoples rights in the name of industrialization/ progress?

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

i did not know a lot about this subject so I had to do some research

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

because a lot of the points that I talk about are my opinion, and I do not try to hide this fact because in the work sited on the work sheets I say that it is my opinion.

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

yes, I agreed with the position I had to argue because I was sick when we did the group work part of this project so I had to do it solo and I chose to do the side a agreed with which was the con side.

Core Competency Reflection 

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include… 

looking for trust worthy sites (example: not Wikipedia, Canadian government sites are ok, etc….)

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this…

I used information form a government site to come to the conclusion that I did (example: when i called taking away serten people’s rights is discrimination)

Personal Awareness and Responsibility

I demonstrated my personal awareness and responsibility skills during this project by coming to school on time and by not missing to much school and that I had enough class time to work on it and when I needed to paint my card I knew I needed to do it at home because that way if I made a mess I wouldn’t mess up the class room and because the sponge that I used was at home which showed my personal awareness and so when it came time to do that step I did it at home and completed my card and that showed my personal responsibility.

my project

(I am leaving it up to your imagination because I don’t have a photo of it, because Olivia .T drew it on the white board and then erased it)

collaborating core competency reflection

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

the fact that i understand that group work would be dividing up the work and only talking when you come together again at the end but collaboration you talk to your group the whole time and you work together o all of it

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include… 

what everyone skill levels are, who would be the best fit for each task, who wants what task etc….

I try to include missing voices/ perspectives by… 

making shur that we remember that the missing person needs to do their part or that we should ask them about it when they come back

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see… 

when i see that work is getting done and that we are being productive

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 that you know where your money is going and if it is even worth buying

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

ethical is really effective because it has people that you trust telling you to buy it

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

i think card stacking is effective because your telling them about all of the great things about your product and saying bad things about others witch might convince some people

Core Competency Reflection

I sought, developed and weighed options as demonstrated by…

thinking about the fraises and going thru all of my options so that i could get the most out of my advertisement and so I could learn what each of them are.

I used to think that not many people would fall for their tricks about advertisement and now I know that they might not know about the trick and fully trust the ad’s because …

some of these tricks are so convincing that some people might not realize what is going on and might fully trust the ad’s because the might not know about it

One strategy or activity that stimulated my imagination on this project was…

the book, the fact that it was a fight to the death and that it is meant to be an enjoyment piece for the people in the capitol is what gave me the idea to do this advertisement
