“Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits.”
In this unit, I learned about how to serve backhand and spike the birdie. One of my strengths is probably spiking the ball and attempting to murder the opponents. One thing I need to work on is to try not to use too much strength or else it’s gonna be out.
1. Describe your story and what real-life situation it modeled?
2. What part of your project are you most proud of? Why?
3. What was the hardest part of creating your piecewise function?
4. If you could revise one part of this project, what would you improve and how?
5. What did this project help you understand better about piecewise functions?
In this unit, we learnt how to play water polo and we nearly drowned (yay). They taught us how to survive when we are drowning and how to help others. I think I most improved on treading the water and not drowning.
☝️Project
The purpose of the project is to examine healthy / unhealthy relationships. I looked at the relationship between Bella and Edward in Twilight and found out that their relationship was really unhealthy, Edward was not respecting Bella’s boundaries, he was being over protective, and the show decided to romanticise these.
One thing that I didn’t know before was that there was intersex people, which meant that they have two biological sex. And because of that, they have to choose between male and female because that’s what the society wants instead of opening a new gender category. Another important thing I learnt was that hesitation doesn’t mean consent, in order to have consent, there should be no hesitation. But, that makes me wonder: what if the person giving consent has social anxiety or they are not good communicating with others, does that still mean consent or not? We also learnt about gender norms and stereotypes, and that made me wonder about how we got those ideas from; was it from the media?
In this unit, we learnt about how to dribble the ball and how to pass the ball, as well as playing some games. Transitioning from offence to defence🤔. I think I most improved on passing and defencing (even though I never knew what I was doing).
Class Socratic Seminar:
I can’t include a snippet of my part because every time I try to trim it, it deletes the audio💔. AND there isn’t audio in the back half of this when I upload to portfolio 💔 oh well. I spoke at 15:41 – 16:03.
Time Stamp and Equity Map:
I used to think mental health meant just not being sad or stressed， that it was only about whether someone was “happy” or “depressed”. Assumptions and misconceptions I had was that people with mental health problems were always easy to notice or that they just needed to “think positive” to feel better. I didn’t realize how complex and invisible mental health issues can be.
But now I think mental helth is about overall emotional， psychologyical， and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and it’s something everyone needs to take care of , not just people with a diagnosis. New information I leant is that mental health can be influenced by many factors: stress, environment, genetics, and relationships. And that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. My perspective shifted because i saw how common mental health challenges are and how much stigma can stop people from getting support. I also learned that small things like kindness, listening, and self-care can make a big difference.
Something that surprised me most in this unit was how much our daily habits: sleep, nutrition, social connection, and comping skills. Can impacti mental health. I didn’t realize it was so connected to everyday life. This learning might affect how I view myself and others by making us more understanding and less judgmental. I’ll try to be more patient with myself when I’m struggling and more supportive of others who might be going through something I can’t see.
My current goal is to give my maximum effort when doing any work in that class and don’t procrastinate until the last second. I have made some progress towards my goal for I have actually not procrastinated in a few months (yay).
Answers to the survey:
Language Arts
I am most proud of the poster I made for my independent time because I got all 3s and it was quite fun to research the topic of tariffs and making the poster. My biggest challenge in class is explaining why an alien would want to use connotation and denotation and types of sentences. Except for the star test at the start of the year, I have not turned any work late (I think🤔) and I completed the work before the due date instead of what i usually do :).
Math
I’m proud of not getting all 1s and actually being able to solve questions :). My biggest challenge might be looking at which shape is the pre-image and which is the image because I did one question incorrect just because of this😭. I did all my homework (well at least what I thought was homework😭 I did lesson 3 homework instead of lesson 2 homework) and I participated in class without touching fish 🙂 yay.
Science
I’m proud of my effort put into this class (in 3 for 3s, I only got one 2.75) and I review what I did wrong to make sure that I don’t do the same mistake next time :). My biggest challenge in this class is putting reasoning in evidence 🥲 I keep doing this because I don’t know what else to yap about in the evidence. I didn’t need the teacher to tell me to focus and stay on task and I just did what I’m supposed to do.
Social Studies
I’m proud of finishing my work before the due date (and sometimes completing next class’s work) and collaborating with my new partner (Linda). Staying fully focused because I don’t wanna write opening speech for debate unit :(. So, I usually take brain breaks. I mostly did my work on time (except for the times where I forgot… oops). I want to have less brain breaks and more work time to use my time more efficiently :).
1. I chose question 8 as evidence of my best thinking because I was correct on this question and I was thinking critically👍 I’m so pro
2. I chose question 4 as evidence of my best thinking because at first on the pre-assessment, I got these types of questions wrong but this time I got it correct, and that shows my improvement from the start of the unit to now.
3. Throughout this unit, I improved the most at describe mapping from pre-image to image.
4. I feel that I still need to work on looking at the question carefully because I got the pre-image and the image mixed up
5. List three of your strengths so far this year:
6. List three things you want to improve on in the next unit.
In the next unit, I want to read the questions more carefully.
