So far, grade 9 has been pretty good. I really enjoyed most of my courses and I also got to make more friends! My favorite course was definitely drama 9 because I really enjoyed all the activities and plays we got to do and I also made quite a bit of friends in that class. Overall my first year has been pretty good and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the rest of the year.
I chose YouTube because you can find lots of helpful videos on this website. YouTube can also be used for your entertainment and not just educational purposes, but it is a great website to use for educational reasons.
My Useful Educational Video
I chose this video because I personally am not strong in biology. This video helped me understand biology better then I already have.
One image that represents us
This is an image of my dog, it represents me because when I get up every morning this is how I am. I just don’t want to get out of bed but my parents make me so I give them this face.
An inspirational Quote
“You’re never going to be happy being anyone other than yourself.”
– Thibaut
I chose this quote because people always try to fit in with a group of people by trying to act like them and not yourself. This quote really stood out to me because this has happened to me once or twice and I regret the way I acted. If you have to be someone other than yourself to fit in, that’s not a place you want to be in.

Reflection Questions – Is violence justified during a protest.
A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project?
It definitely helped with research and made it easier to find all the information I needed.
B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI?
I made sure that I changed the wording and some of the facts from the websites AI gave me. I also mixed up some of the information I got and reworded all of the facts.
C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not?
I do but I also don’t. I think violence should not be used in a protest but I do think it can be used ONLY when people feel the need to do it and they aren’t being heard. I do think there should be consequences for those people who use violence just for fun. I get it if people use it when they feel that it’s needed, because they actually have a reason to use violence but people who just use violence for fun have no reason, they just do it for clout.
Competency Reflection
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try and make a conversation with them and I try to be respectful towards them and to my peers.
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask questions and check in on my group to make sure they know what we’re all doing.
The way I figured out my characters Avatar was that the book gave good hints on like what she was wearing and how she looked, so I had a good understanding of what her avatar was going to look like.
How I choice the plot points were that the book gave specific detail on what the plot was and it gave me a pretty good idea on how the plot was going to look and how it was going to be presented.
I figured out my setting by listening to where the main plots took play, for example for my book I did Beth’s room because that’s where the main plot took place and that’s where a lot of stuff happened mostly in the book.
The mood of my book is kind of like a mysterious kind of mood, and the song I played was kind of like a eerie kind of vibe.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are staying connected with positive influences. Some of these positive influences are friends and celebrities. These online relationships make me feel comfortable and included in the world. I enjoy watching my friends and my favorite celebrities posts and commenting positive thoughts. I also enjoy watching funny videos of them. I enjoy this on a daily bases.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presences include limiting my time online, limiting unhealthy and negative posts, and keeping negative comments to myself. By limiting my time online, I have more time to do other things I enjoy. Some things I enjoy are being with my family, and helping out with them. I prefer not to go online when I’m upset because I don’t want to say anything I regret. If I think something negative I’ll keep it to myself instead of saying it out loud. This is how I maintain a healthy balanced online presences.
By doing positive stuff online, I make a positive difference to my peers. Some online positive stuff I do are saying happy birthday if it’s someone’s birthday, commenting positive stuff on my friends and families posts, overall spreading positive vibes. By posting positive comments it makes me feel good inside and strengthens my relationships with my peers. By posting these positive comments my peers do the same for me in return. This is another way for us to stay connected. This is why posting positive stuff online is important and encouraging for others.
