I chose the Love canal abuse of power, and In my reasearch I learned about the reasons why the hooker company abused their power and the time dates and process of the event.

I prepared by not having a script. In my experience having a script just makes me stress and try to memorize it. However thinking about the main concepts I want and specific sentences, allows me to make my presentation more natural.

I could speak louder and have more confidence in what I do.

I improved in my general usage of connotations, presentations and application of evidence into a CER format.

My Top 5 books I read was the Hunger games trilogy, Scythe, Percy Jackson, Life of PI, and Animal farm.

The hardest book I read was To kill a Mockingjay.

Finally I would recommend the Hunger games.

The four matter cycles water carbon nitrogen and phosphorus is essential as that process continuously recycle the atoms in a ecosystem. In pheasent pond Photosynthesis is important for this system. Pleasant Pond turns green due to an alage bloom that happens when fertilizer runoff overloads the water with nutrients like nitrogen and. These excess nutrients with sunlight cause algae to multiply that kills fish due to limiting oxygen that makes decomposers decompose more bodies, making more oxygen. Which connects to photosynthesis.

I would improve the length of certain parts as some parts seem a little un needed or less important compared to other aspects. I understand that there is a specifc scheduale and deadline we have ( 2 weeks) however I think thay this can help create more time.

• Essential Question: How can we use probability to make predictions and informed decisions?
• Looking at your Unit 5 Summative, what are your relative strengths? areas of improvement?
• If you could share something with your Grade 8 Math Teacher, what would it be?
• What advice would you give to incoming Grade 7 students?

Probability can be used to see predictions and likely hood of those decesions. Instead of guessing, or taking a chance you can see and compare risks,to make the best choice and create a foundatiion of what you think would happen.

In the Unit 5 summative I need to improve on applying my knowledge as I know how to the concepts relatively quickly, however I sometimes forget simple concepts. My relative strengths are if I fully understand a concept, I can remember some aspects for a longer time.

I would share that I will try my best in his or hers class and that I will use the feed back given to try to improve, also that I am flexible.

Don’t sweat things. Being overly nervous isn’t going to mean you will achieve what you want to do. Just trying your best and keeping cool can be an effective method. Some times that best won’t be enough but you can learn from those problems, and push your limit to get better.

In this unit we learned about dribbling, triple threat position, and other maneuvers in order to show our understanding of Basket ball. We also learned and practiced basketball in a game format, where we were divided into groups, and needed to cooperate together in order to win. This included passing, dribbling, and shooting as a team. One thing I learned and is more confident about in this unit is my shooting skills, where I can shoot and gain points with more accuracy.

One thing I would like to improve on though, is cooperating with my team on the defensive side, where I felt like I could’ve ran faster or get in a better position for my team. In order to improve this or do better in the future I can either practice defensively or just talk to my teammates more for strategy.

U I understood all the major concepts before this unit including multistep equations, pi, calculating area, circumference, and volume. Not only that I felt like I was well prepared to the unit with prior knowledge from Khan Academy. As well as this I also understood the main goal, constraints and time limit this unit had, which I believed allowed me to finish.

N Some new information I learned was inequalities, as some parts I was lacking in or was new to me completely. This information while, new still was absorbed pretty well in my mind, and allowed me to do well in the summative project and CFU

I Something interesting in this unit was the new teaching format. Individually learning was beneficial in its one way, and was very interesting as I never had this type of format in learning in my old schools.

T However while the new format was interesting I still encountered problems in the unit regarding time. While I was able to finish under the time limit, it required some work outside of school, combined with extended time. I believe this problem was caused due to me being stuck on a mastery ticket or CFU that I know now.

I used to think that health claims and influencers weren’t accurate and nothing they should say would be beneficial, or reliable for citations, however now I know that some evidence, information etc still can be found in these shorts and videos if I use the CRAAP test appropriately.

In this Unit about health media literacy I thought it was a good review and summary of everything I know about health literacy, that I learned in my old school, however it was nice to learn and understand a new way in order to find credible information on the not credible internet6.

Some thing that helped me become more health media literate is the independence in this unit, as I thought this was a good wat to learn by your self, with the lesson plans acting like a base structure. I think this type of learning fits me well and was one of the reasons of how I became more health media literate.

One thing I did well was defending or preventing the putt from reaching the goal, with me dribbling the ball away, or passing it to another teammate. I also did well in communication with my teammates with us passing and dribbling the putt. One thing I could improve on is going more offensive or going up the field to engage more with my teammates while trying to score some goals with out being all defensive, and showing more variety.
