Trimester 1 Reflection

 Reflection for Trimester 1 - 2021

Make a Difference

This class was focused on social science and religious education. We looked at social issues and related those to things in Jesus' time. In the last part of the module we started an achievement standard, I did mine on emotional walls. If you want to look at it here it is: Emotional Walls AS

The thing I enjoyed and did well in this class was the research aspect of my achievement standard, it was fun to look for information, compare and build my own opinion on the topic. I think I could have done better at writing and composing the essay itself, I could have put in more effort to make it easier to read. 

Amazing Spaces

This class was focused on technology and art. We designed our own house and build models out of wood. We also made architectural drawing that we painted by taking inspiration from famous artists. I enjoyed making the drawings because it was fun to use angles and to try make it look as close to reality as possible, here's my best attempt, including the painting: 

 I think I could have done better at making the model, I did not put enough effort in making it perfect and made impulse decisions that led to a less-than-perfect completion of the model.

Shake it up with Shakespeare

This class was focused on Drama and English. We studied the Shakespearean play Macbeth first and then were given the task to create a lesson of our own to teach to the rest of the class. I partnered with Beatrice Fawcett on the play 'Much ado about Nothing'. I enjoyed teaching the class and helping them learn about the plot of the play. here is the program we made: Much Ado About Nothing

I think I could have put in more effort while preparing for the lesson because I think Beatrice felt I didn't do enough.

Friday Wellbeing

This class was focused on teaching us about important issues and letting us do administral work needed by mentors. I enjoyed learning about bullying and sharing my own opinion and views with others. I didn't enjoy the work we did with goal setting or blog posts, it was boring and I didn't see a lot of use in it.

Drama - Impact Project

This was an impact project focused on drama. I got the role of 'Gen' or 'Genevieve La Difference' a brainy nerd best friends with the main character 'Bobby'. She's seen as bossy by the others because she's passionate about women's rights and feminists, she is ecstatic when she meets Cleopatra for the same reasons. 'Gen' also plays wingman between 'Boppy' and her love interest 'Lochie' even though she doesn't like him very much.
