From now on every Wednesday is a single subject day. So I won’t be posting a blog post on Wednesdays!

Today I had 2 Zoom meetings, one was about my writing component and the other was a class meeting. The first Zoom meeting was only with a small group doing similar things. The second was about exhibition presentations if the case is if we have to do our exhibition online. I honestly wish that the exhibition is not online... We all agreed on doing a short video with us singing the song One Day while some people playing instruments and others dancing and some just singing. Yesterday I got my canvas to do my art so I will start on that tomorrow. Today we also had to do a blog self assessment and I think that I answered truthfully. Today for math we did things about graphs again. It was more challenging than usual but I always like a good challenge! I started writing my rough draft for my writing component. I think that that’s coming along well. As usual we’re choreographing our dance and we’ve already choreographed from the first verse to the chorus! Today Was the first day after spring break. I honestly wish we go back to school but at the same time I don’t because I know it isn’t safe.
So we started today with a Zoom meeting. It was nice to see the whole class after the holiday. Afterwards I watched the read a loud and it’s getting interesting. Today I decided that for my writing component I want to do a realistic fiction story sort of like a book. Another thing was that because of the virus we’re not sure when we’re going back to school so I’ve gone my backup plan for my action. I started making sort of like a form to tell people to pledge an amount of time to not use certain electrical appliances. This week we did a lot of things to do about the art component, math component, we’re starting to do the writing component and we’re also working on our action. Next week is our term break but for me there’s not much of a difference especially because we’re not allowed to go outside.
Today we had a Zoom meeting and it was mostly just a check in before the holiday. We talked about a lot of random stuff such as pets. I’m almost done with my math component and my action in coming along nicely. As usual we’re starting to choreograph more of the dance. Bye!!! Today something special we had was that we had a live read-a-load on Zoom!!! It was for our book the class is reading “Walk Two Moons.” Usually we would just get recorded versions from our teacher but this time it was live. Today I continued doing my math component. I added more sources on my infographic. I also put some little touch-ups to make it look better. For math class today we didn’t have a lesson but we did some activities on Matific. I like using Matific because it’s fun yet educational. Today I had my Student Teacher Conference with my homeroom teacher. We discussed some possibilities of doing my action just in case we’re not going to be able to go back to school in April. I told her what my mentor and I we’re talking about in our last mentor meeting. Which was to get people to pledge an amount of time to not use certain electrical appliances. I think that that’s a good backup plan. Lastly, at the end of the day me and my “dance group” chose the song we we’re going to dance to. We chose “The World is Ours” by Aloe Blacc and David Correy. Fun fact that song was the 2014 World Cup’s anthem. We started to make the choreography of the chorus and the start. In my opinion it’s going really well.
So yesterday I found out that we’re going to have virtual school until the end of the month! So that will be interesting... . Today we also got introduced to a new “software” called Zoom. It’s an app/website that can do video calls with a lot of people and it’s a way for the whole class to see each other and communicate with everyone via video chat.
Today I collected all my responses to my survey and started to put them onto my infographic. I think that my infographic is going pretty well and I think that I will have a good math component. I also got some feedback for my rough draft from my teacher. Now the math component is due the week after spring break not this week so now I will have more time. Today I also heard back on what my teacher said about my video and plan to get permission to do my action. In math we did some stuff about graphs and statisics. This week I really liked the way I accomplished many things such as deciding my action, making my infographic and get a lot of responses for my survey. Click here to answer my survey, please comment if you’ve done my survey! I’m aiming to reach 30 responses!
I wished I had done thing more slowly so I wouldn’t be so confused on what I should do which was other then deciding my action was the hardest part. I don’t like being not productive. This week I found my homeroom teacher and mentor to be very helpful because my homeroom teacher helped me decide my action and my mentor helped me make a backup plan just in case the principal doesn’t approve my action. I am most proud of my action because I think that my action is very unique comparing to what other people are doing and I think that my action will have an impact when it comes to energy saving. The trickiest part of the week was something I had mentioned before which was being too fast and ending up not having enough things to do. That makes my brain sort of confused and thinking that I’m not doing enough. So I like being productive because if I’m not my brain is all over the place. I can now explain why this week I’m not as productive and honestly I need more assignments. I understand why I’m like this because my friend and I were talking about what point of research and exhibition we’re at and I noticed that I am a lot further ahead and she still has things she can still research on. (Obviously I gave her some tips on what to search and what to do) Another reason I think I’m like this is because I’m an overachiever I tend to get ahead and be one step in front so right now that’s what’s bugging me but I can’t change the past do you got to keep moving forward. Next week I’m going to collect the data from my survey and add them to my infographic. And I will make my final copy of my mathematics component. Today is a day where there’s a lot of free work time. So today I started to think of my action. Today I had a discussion about it with my homeroom teacher. We had a great idea which is to try to convince the whole school to be electricity free for an hour.
This action is inspired by Earth Hour which is an hour where lots of people commit to not use any form of electricity. This year Earth Hour is on the 28th of March (Next Saturday not this Saturday) where I am it’s from 8:30-9:30pm so people who want to do it, do it. The reason that there is earth hour is to save energy and many people do this. In 2013 British Colombia alone already saved up 2% of their energy. I think that that would be an amazing action that I can take. Today I made a video to get permission to do that. Today I already had 21 responses to my survey! Click here to answer my survey. The way I got people to answer my survey is through Microsoft Teams and my mentor. Since my mentor is a Secondary school math teacher she has students of her own that she can ask to take my survey. Tomorrow is the due date for my first draft of my math component and I think that I am ready because I’m been doing it for the whole week. |
