My Innovation Day Reflection

Innovation Day was today and I presented with my friend ‘The Care Chair. When we started working on the project, I was nervous. Innovation Day is always hard and stressful and I wasn’t  looking forward to it. These feelings carried on through the process of making my project. What surprised me was how difficult trying to find time to build was. My friend and I did what we could to try and work on our project outside of school, but we could still build the model. Our posterboard, however, was pretty good and planned out well. But we needed to plan out the building parts better. After presenting our project to the judges, I felt calmer and better. The biggest issue with the project was my friend having issues causing her to not be able to be at school a lot and so we couldn’t end up building. I dont think I learned anything, but I do think this project enhanced some of the information I already had. If I could do one thing differently, I would have built the project and made time to do so. Overall, I’m proud of my project but i definitely could have done better.

 

 

La 1970’s

Mon projet sur la mode des années 1970s

 

A la fin d’une unité de travail sur la mode et les jeunes, Madame Sylvie nous a demandé de faire un projet. Il fallait que je choisisse une période historique et que je recherche le style de vêtements, coiffures, mœurs etc pour hommes et femmes de cette époque. J’ai choisi de rechercher les années 1970s

Par la suite, il fallait, bien entendu, préparer le résultat de notre recherche sur CANVA en suivant une rubrique spécifique avant de présenter oralement à notre classe. Le jour de ma présentation, j’ai impressionné toute la classe en m’habillant avec des vêtements de l’époque que j’ai choisi.

 

Ci-dessous, vous trouverez mon projet sur la mode.

Be a doctor for a day Project – French

Dans la classe de français, pour terminer notre unité sur “Un mode de vie sain et malsain”, nous devions faire une petite recherche sur les traitements pharmaceutiques et naturels de dix différentes maladies communes. Pour nous forcer à pratiquer notre expression orale en français, Madame Sylvie nous a demandé d’apprendre par cœur huit phrases en français pour présenter à la classe. Ce que j’ai trouvé le plus difficile c’était de faire la recherche. Je suis fier de mon projet car il m’a aidé à en apprendre davantage sur la maladie mentale.

Theodore Hertzel Project

For Jewish Studies, we wrote some journal entries from Theodore Hertzels point of view, as well as a visual.

Here are the journal entries:

May 6th, 1896

 

I went to the market today, and I saw a poster of a model in a store window. She reminded me of Julie, with those darn bags under her eyes, and that ratty hair she wore. In other news, Trude was being difficult again, screaming at her mother. Not that I blame her for yelling at that wicked woman. 

 

All I can say right now is that home life is complicated. I’m spending another night at the office again and have almost finished my book. I’m scared of how it will be received in my community, but someone has to do something about the harsh conditions for Jews all over the world. Tonight, I will drown my problems with a nice bottle of whiskey.

June 9th 1897

 

I went to the park today. I wanted to clear my mind and take the kids out to let them release their energy. I am quite nervous as I will soon promote my ideas to some of the world’s leaders. I would like Jews to be given a homeland, and I have worked tirelessly to try and achieve this goal. I truly hope others can sympathize with the Jewish people’s struggles and agree to give them a homeland. I know that the location I picked (Palestine) may be a difficult fit due to the government not wanting to lose the state, but I remain hopeful that this could turn into a reality. Some of the people I hope to meet with are British government officials, Russian government officials, and French government officials.

 

July 2, 1903

 

Yesterday I got a letter in the mail. It was addressed to me. I never get mail. It looked elegant. The envelope had a black exterior with gold trim on the edges. I opened it. It was some kind of invitation for a big meeting. When I read it, I was in shock. I swear my jaw dropped open when I read the last sentence. The British government wants to offer the Jews a piece of land. They are proposing we create a Jewish nation in Uganda and they wanted me to come speak about it. I was so excited I almost hugged Julie. Eugh. she has been gone a lot lately. She has been going out at night and not coming back, leaving me to cook dinner for the kids. I wish I knew what was going on in all their little heads sometimes. I need to pick out a fancy outfit. Maybe a swallowtail suit? 

Our new homeland may not be where our history was, but it may be where our history as a nation will begin. I am worried about how the Jewish public will receive this plan, but I think it is for the better and a risk worth taking.

Here is the visual

In conclusion, while I was researching Theodore Hertzels’s life, I learned he was very resilient. Despite all his issues, he continued to persist in trying to get the Jewish people a home state. Theodore Hertzel sacrificed a lot to achieve his goals, and I think that a lot of people could benefit from being as persistent as Hertzel. He contributed to establishing the state of Israel and made a huge difference by helping Jewish people. Overall, Hertzel played a big part in Jewish History and we must remember his sacrifices to try and establish Israel.

 

My smart goal!! – 2024

For my learning skill smart goal, I want to work on procrastination and making study habits/routines. To help me achieve this goal, I will set a study routine and avoid procrastinating whenever I have homework or a test coming up. This goal is reasonable because it is achievable and would greatly help me. What could help me is building a study routine at home by starting my work right when I get home and not waiting too long and leaving it for later. This goal will help me succeed in high school and get into a good college. I want to achieve this goal by the end of the year.

 

For my academic smart goals, I want to get at least a 70% in Math, 75% in Science, and 80% in French. To achieve this goal, I will use a study routine that consists of completing review questions, reading through review packets, and completing Quizlets to help me study regularly and build good study habits for high school. These goals are important because I want to get into a good college in the future and having good grades will improve my chances of getting into a good college. I want to achieve this goal by the January report card and ultimately the end of the year report card.

Innovation Day – Reflection

Over the past month or so, the whole school has been working on our innovation day projects. From February, to march, we have all been working tirelessly to complete our projects, waiting anxiously for the day to come. Eventually we all presented our projects to the judges and the winners received the medals. Now, after innovation day, we have been tasked to reflect on our innovation day projects.

Here is a picture of my project

Without any further ado, here is my reflection. Personally, I felt that I worked quite a bit while in school to contribute to my project, but I found myself with not enough time to work on it outside of school. On the weekend before innovation day, I spent a lot of time really preparing for innovation day. With all that in place, I had finally finished my project. I think I could have worked more outside of school and in result have done more. Despite that, I think that I have done pretty well in innovation day. In conclusion, I wished that I could have done more, but I feel like I got a pretty good amount of work done. Thank you for reading.

The Inuit Community

In social studies, my and the extended class worked together to make an indigenous community project. For my group, we did our project on the inuit community. We had to write about stuff like their roles, what they do, how they live and stuff like that. We had fun looking up and researching all our facts it. was really interesting to learn all about the wonderful inuit community.  I feel that its important to learn about indigenous communities as much as possible because after we found out about the residential schools, we knew that we had to reconcile for it and in order to reconcile, we really need to know about indigenous people and how they live.

Here are 10 facts that i learned

  • The word inuit means the people
  • The word NiaKojak means bread
  • The decision-making group is divided into two opposing teams. The pros team suggests their ideas, and the cons team shares their comments and reasons
  •  Traditional Inuit foods include arctic char, seal, polar bear and caribou often eaten raw, frozen or dried
  • The inuit believed in animism which means all things have a spirit including inanimate objects
  • Rubbing noses is not an Inuit form of kissing
  • Greenland’s population is primarily Inuits
  • Inuit prefer to be called Inuk or Inuit – but not Eskimo
  • Inuit lived in tent-like huts made of animal skins stretched over.
