In this unit, I learned to serve a shuttle cock over the net with a badminton racket. We also practiced with our partners the drop shot, forehand clear shot, and rallying. I developed confidence and teamwork through small-sided games in pe class.
I think during this unit I became a better teammate by cheering my teammates on and giving positive feedback.
Something I need to work on is backhand serves.
This oral is under the world war 1 unit. In this activity, we had to read a letter sent by a soldier to their parents, in the letter he explained his accident on loosing his left foot. For me it was challenging because it was hard for me to pronounce some vocabulary. I could improve by trying to pronounce different types of vocabulary.
1- PRESENTATION
This work is part of the unit on learning about world war 1 in french. We wrote letter in the perspectives of the family of soldiers during that period.
It’s to assess to see if we understood the unit well and so we could reuse all the vocabulary we gained during this unit. What I needed to do is find a card with information of a person and their family members, then I would choose to write in one of the perspectives with a partner. It was important that we had to reuse our vocabulary that we learned not just in this certain unit but also the past units.
I work collaboratively with my partner, Angela. Angela’s role was a soldier while my role was the family member of the soldier. We collaborated to check each others work so there aren’t repeated ideas and the details we wrote matches what it said on the cards. I chose to present this work because this would be a good example to show how I used my vocab and to show my understandings of this unit.
This is my work:
2- FEEDBACK and REFLECTION
My teacher gave me the following feedback: Your letter is matching well your partner’s letter. There are many sentences organized in paragraphs and you reused well the vocabulary. You present well your letter as explained in our lessons. In order to improve and reach an higher grade, I think you can try to add details. For example, as a mum you could explain how Stephanie disappeared, and why? I think it’s quite accurate because I could expand on exactly what happened though I only mentioned it was caused because of the war. I personally think that I need to improve on being more in character while writing letters like these.
3- CONCLUSION
Overall in this unit I learned about the different types of vocabulary and I gained knowledge on the french perspective of world war 1. I can reuse these vocabulary to educate other people that are interested in this topic.
In this unit, the most important ideas I learned was: identifying a healthy or unhealthy relationship, the different stereotypes of genders. We made a presentation about a movie that shows a healthy or unhealthy relationship, me and my partner chose “the secret” by jay chou. According to this movie me and my partner added what was unhealthy and what was healthy, for example something unhealthy was the secret kept by one of the main characters, this shows the main cause of all of their arguments.
Learning about the different stereotypes and different identities that people give themselves helps me understand and show respect to them. Learning about healthy and unhealthy relationships is important because it’s something that we’re all most likely going to face in the future and it can help us avoid unnecessary conflicts.
In water polo, we learned about the different strokes and movements that we could use in the water to help us score goals.
One movement is treading water, we learned how to tread water so our heads could stay above the water. While playing water polo, we split into teams and used the techniques that we learned during class so we can score goals and pass to our teammates correctly.
Something I need to improve on is dribbling the ball and scoring.
I used to think mental health is about when health is affected because of our actions. Some misconceptions I had was I thought that there were only a few mental health conditions but after I dived deeper and did more research i found out that there are a lot of different conditions that count as mental health such as: OCD, PTSD, and addictions. My thinking changed throughout the unit because I was making connections with people who were affected by the conditions and also because I did more research which helped me understand mental health more.
I learned about the different conditions that I never heard about or conditions that I heard about but didn’t know what they were such as OCD, I learned that OCD is repeating movements or actions to prevent something, and people that have OCD has an obsession to make everything perfect. At first I thought people who are affected by mental health can recover easily, but after I noticed that its really hard for them to recover such as addictions. People affected with addictions has a really hard time to not do a certain thing such as not smoking for a long period of time.
While we were learning more about mental health, I was most surprised about how social media could affect peoples thinkings from “I need to eat less” to “I need to eat more.” Social media could also influence people to start having healthy habits such as going to the gym, starting healthy diets, and etc. These ideas surprised me because I thought having these mental health conditions could only be cured with health support from doctors, but it turned out they could also be affected by influencers from social media, people around them, and lastly people who have the same type of symptoms as them.
The activity was listening to Clara and Lucas communicating and figuring out different questions about them or what they were talking about such as, what relationship is Clara and Lucas in. The feedback I got was I did well recognizing where the mini dialogues were happening but I had a hard time recognizing whether the voice was Clara or Lucas.
During this unit we had to read a short novel about the life of two twins and the conflicts between them. The short novel helped me relate to the twins and told both perspectives of the twins. I practiced the vocabulary that is connected with the novel with quizlet and I memorize the vocabulary by writing it over and over again and studying it with the test tool on quizlet. I retold the story by looking at the pictures on the novel with my own words and I prepared it by checking vocabulary with quizlet. Overall finding the vocabulary for the sentences was challenging for me, another thing I found challenging was writing the sentences itself because I had to make sure that the sentence fits with the picture.

I think one thing I did well was trying not to read from my notes but I need to work more on practicing the vocabulary and before I did the recording I should’ve checked my notes more. The feedback I got was I had to conjugate my verbs and most words are pronounced in english sounds. I think my areas of improvement is to read more french novels to practice my pronunciation.
I chose question 6 as evidence of my best thinking because I was able to show my thinking of how the two shapes are congruent with the different transformations. I also chose question 7a as evidence of my best thinking because I showed with my thinking how the shapes are not congruent.
Throughout this unit, I improved the most at was showing my work clearly with mathematical precision, for example at the start of the unit instead of showing my work I directly wrote the answer down without checking. After I started writing down how I got my answer and started checking my work I got more correct answers than wrong. I feel like I still need to work on finding the center of dilation because on the COL I had a hard time finding the center of dilation for question 8.
Three of my strengths this year was showing my work, collaborating my classmates, and checking my work before I submit it. Next unit I want to use up all the time we get in tests, ask questions about vocabulary or math problems im not sure about, and be more organized.
In the next unit I want to be more efficient, for example less overdue work. This is important because it could increase my grades and efficiency for other classes. Something that might get in the way is if there’s too much homework, I can’t finish on time. If I get stuck then I could improve my schedule to make sure I get my work done on time.
