Unit 2: Reflection of Learning

April 6, 2026 / Angela

What I used to think…

I used to think that people should just understand mental health, but the real fact is that I think that children, like teens, need to understand their own mental health more. In 7th grade, I thought that mental health meant understanding teens’ own emotions and feelings, since in 7th grade and 6th grade, the word mental meant just your emotions. Also, in 7th grade, some assumptions that I have thought about were that using AI or chatbots to understand information about depression or things like self-diagnosis could cause trouble with too many people thinking they have this problem. However, if people actually think that, many people self-diagnose that they have depression. What will the people who actually have depression? They may be left out, and they may be told by the people who self-diagnose that they are faking it.

What I know now…

But after this unit, I know that mental health is how you think, feel, and behave. It is how your emotions and social well-being influence how you handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Even when my assumptions have not changed after this unit. I have learned more information about different types of mental health, like eating disorders, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Depression, and anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorder would be a great example of my learning in this unit, such as in this unit, I did a project, which involved choosing a topic and learning deeply about it. Now I also understand that anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by excessive and persistent feelings of fear, anxiety, or worry.

But I think something that could change about this project, which could make it better, would be to have my partners work more in the video making, since most of the project I have created myself.

Orchestra

March 5, 2026 / Angela

In the coming semester of semester 2, I would like to use more vocabulary when talking about music and use more dynamics when playing music. While playing music, I will practice at home, I will practice with dynamics, and in upcoming music, I will practice on holding my music properly. In semester 2 I will be practicing my music at home, and ask my teacher what music vocab are important, and how I could improve on it. In semester 1, my intonation wasn’t that good since sometimes my notes are quite off, and sometimes the notes I play isn’t the ones that is needed. So I think in semester 2

Science SLC Portfolio

Evidence of Organization:
My science notebook was a helpful notebook for many of my units in science class. At first, I wrote very vague information into my notebook, which made it not as helpful as how I use it is now. I take notes that would be helpful for me later on

Evidence of Active Learner Habits:

Active_Learner_Science_Rubric_August_2025 Download

My active learner science rubric goal from October was to reach 3’s on 3 for 3’s in class, and be prepared for it. Also, asking questions and raising my hand more in class, which I still haven’t reached.

Goal: In the future, my goal is to prepare more before tests, even if I have prepared. This is because I see that in my 3 for 3’s in class, I sometimes get 2’s, and I think this is caused by not preparing enough before class. I think another goal I will be working toward would be to participate more and more in class, since I think I don’t really raise my hand. 10/16/2025

For my active learner, grading myself in the engaging part, I give myself an approach since I don’t raise my hand in class a lot. Also, I am engaged with peer talk, but sometimes my peer speaks more than I do during peer discussion.

Evidence of Understanding of Key Concepts:

My 3 for 3’s, most of them are all 3’s, but some of them are 2’s. During the ones that are twos, I go visit Mr. Tafel and talk to him about what I need to improve on and what I still need to work on.

FRENCH WORK- L3 Reading task – (ORAL)

February 11, 2026 / Angela

Letter Recording.m4a

This oral is related to the unit on WW1.
In this task, I was supposed to show my reading skills from a reading assessment. By reading a letter from a real soldier in WW1.
I am explaining in French how harsh the war was and how much he had missed home.
For me, it was challenging because at first I had struggled in reading, and my oral was really bad, so I had some problems reading it.

My pronunciation was bad since I think I couldn’t read it properly.

How can you improve?
A way that I had improved was that I read to myself a lot of times my own letter, and my mom had got a teacher who helps me improve in French oral by spending 60 minutes every week practicing talking French.

FRENCH WORK “ L4 – Post here your letter” (WRITTEN)

February 11, 2026 / Angela

1- PRESENTATION
This work is part of the unit on writing a letter in the format of you in WW1. My role in this unit project was to write a letter as if I were a soldier in the war. It was assessed on my writing skills and my grammar skills.
What I needed to do is to put my self in the perspective of a soldier in the war, and I wrote to my “wife” and had talked about the harsh environment there and how much I missed her.
I work collaboratively with my friend Amber Zhang, and my role was the soldier and she was the soldier’s wife.

Why you choose to present this piece of work
I choose to present this piece of work because I want to so my vocab and us of emotions to talk about how harsh the war had been. I also think that this project shows my well being of my increase in language.

This is my work: L4 Lettre.docx

2- FEEDBACK and REFLECTION
My teacher gave me the following feedback: It’s a good letter that is matching well the content of your partner’s letter. However, according to me, it’s a bit too inspired from the letters we read in class. There are several sentences copied even though you changed them a bit.

I think I could improve on would be adding more of my own emotions, and how the soldiers had hated the war. Mrs. Inna’s feedback was about I could add more to how the weather was like, and also using more of my own language to express this place.

3- CONCLUSION
Overall in this unit I have learned how to …
I think i can apply this knowledge in real life if I were writing a letter to my friends or other people I could write a very emotional letter.

Self-Care Journey

February 5, 2026 / Angela

L4_ Self-Care Journey- Resilience (Health)Download

Something that I learned about myself throughout this unit project, was that I tend to sleep, but the only thing is that I’m not sleeping enough. For example, looking at my day 1 results, was that I slept only 6 hours and 30 minutes, but on day 7, I slept a full 8 hours and 30 minutes. At first, my WOOP goal was to sleep 7-8 hours, so I’m not too late, and I’m not too tired in the morning. Throughout this process of using Sleep Town, which keeps track of my sleeping progress. I think something that I struggle with would be using my phone before bed because I tend to use my phone before bed, but now I think this doesn’t help me sleep. When I wake up and I feel tired, this would cause my Prefrontal Cortex to feel different emotions, such as feeling grumpy when I wake up. If this keeps going, I think my body and my brain wouldn’t be able to handle it. I think Sleep Town is somewhat helpful, and I think I will keep on using it, so that I’m not tired every day.

Vision Board 2026

Vision Board 2026.png

GOAL FOR 2026:
One of my academic goals is to do more optional French assignments like extra EP, by starting this semester, and I will make a note to myself to complete 15 min every day, little by little. My second goal is to complete more L4 assignments in science class, and a way to reach my goal is by trying to complete them if I can, and if I’m able todo it, I will try my best to complete it. In this way, it may help me get more practice and try to reach a higher or harder level, which may help me in high school or college. My final goal is a non-academic goal, which is sleep earlier. I chose this goal because last year I used to sleep very late, and I also slept very late at the start of semester 1. Which made me think about this goal. I will achieve this goal by checking my homework and completing it before 10:30 and get in bed or finish by 11:00, which will make me sleep at 11:30:)

Integrated Mathematics 8 Semester 1

January 20, 2026 / Angela

Active Learner Habits

One strength I bring to math class is my organizational skills, with organizing my homework and notes I take in class. Another skill is that I am able to collaborate with my table-mates. Even when I think that my answer is wrong, I still express my answer in class. A third strength I bring is my listening skills, like when my table-mates say this answer, I note it down, and I respect what they say.

Area of Growth
One habit I want to improve this semester is having neater notes in class. This is an area of growth for me because if I have neater notes it would be easier for me to go back and look at my notes when I am studying.

Plan for Growth
I will work on this habit by writing or organizing my notes into Cornell Notes. Which would impact me to have neater and easier notes to read. One specific action I will take is finding a method to take notes for my learning or studying.

Math Notation and Communication

Take at least one photo of an early math notebook example.

Take at least one photo of a later math notebook example that shows improvement.
later math notebook.jpg
In my later math notebook, my use of color increased, and I think it became neater. Also, at first, my earlier notebook was messy, but I could still understand. This new page of the notebook was much more cleaner, since I used different type of colors in it.

Evidence of Understanding of Key Concepts

Choose two examples of your math learning that highlight your strengths and growth.
Sticker Project P1.jpg
Sticker Project P2.jpg

This example shows that I understand since my work presents my thoughts and step it took for me to solve my problem. One strength in this work is the simple, but including all the criteria’s pictures that I drafted. This work also shows my growth in improvement, since I think I think if I spent more time drafting my final product would be better and I think it would have more detail.

Something that I understand and something I did well at. The end would be that, however, the formula is simple inside of any topic final assessment, and product you finish making isn’t that simple.

Final Reflection:

After both examples, write one sentence describing your overall understanding of key math concepts.

Overall, my work shows my growth and my ability that when I lock in, and take notes that are more clearer, and look at all that I have already written inside of my notebook, I will be more prepared.

PE: Net- Wall Game Reflection

January 20, 2026 / Angela

Badminton:

Throughout this unit, I learned how to improve my drop shot. A drop shot is a soft tap that barely clears the net and lands near the opponent’s side. It takes practice, touch, and good timing. I can control the pace and placement to make it hard for them to return. I also learned about movement and formations. Movement is how I move my feet to get in the best position. Formations are the patterns we use as a team to cover the court. Good movement helps me reach the ball, and smart formations help us work together.

Pickleball:

Throughout this unit on pickleball, I learned how to improve at hitting the ball over the net. I think one thing that I struggled with was when the ball went over the net, I hit the ball back. Many times, I can’t seem to catch the ball or hit the ball over because I think I can’t find a good place where the ball will go after.
