Favorite Math assignment

Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog. After posting my favorite assignments from quarter 1 and quarter 2 of my grade 9 year, I have decided to post my favorite assignment from one of my quarter 3 classes. For this post, the assignment I  have chosen is a math project I did about midway through the quarter. For this project I was told to create a fictional story that incorporates 4 of the exponent laws. Since my math class wasn’t very far into the quarter I knew this project would have a big effect on my grade. So, when I got started I decided to use PowerPoint for my story. The storyline would be two guys having to get through an escape room using exponent laws. When I started working on the project I knew it would be pretty tough, so I devoted some extra time to work on the project. Going through the project I developed some good ideas for the storyline, during the project I created a good long paragraph for every chapter, as a result it took me a long time. After a few days of some hard work I proof read the project and turned it in on time. After I turned it in I thought I had done a really good job, as I worked really hard and stated four exponent laws. When my mark came back a few days later I was really proud of myself as I got 44.5 out of 50, which is 89%. I knew this would boost my grade in math up a lot and all the hard work and extra time I used for this project paid off. The great thing about this project is that I knew I had done really well on a challenging project. Like I said this project had a big effect on my grade and it meant a lot to do well on it.

My Favourite Socials Assignment

Welcome back to my blog, today I will be doing a post similar to my woodworking 9 post. I will be talking about my favorite assignment in socials 9. As you know there is a quarter system instead of a semester system for my grade 9 year. So, for my socials 9 it was much shorter than it used to be. Not too long into socials 9 our class was given an assignment. This assignment was to write a letter to John A. Macdonald as Louis Riel demanding better living situations for the Metis. This was a big assignment for socials 9 and would have a large effect on our grade so I knew I had to do good on it. With this project it took me a while to do, so on a Sunday morning I decided to start at noon and get as far as I could. It took me hours to do and I felt really proud of what I had done. I had to write an opening statement, five points on why John A. Macdonald should not kick the Metis off their land and a conclusion. As I said this assignment was given not long into Socials 9 which because we were in the quarter system I had not a lot of time to work on it. So, with very little class time I took a lot of my time at home and in the library at Charles Best to work hard on the project. When I finished it I proof read it and it looked really good. A few days later I got my marks back, it turns out all my hard work payed off, and I got 10/10. I got some good comments from my teacher and I knew I had done a good job.

Woodworking 9: Wood ID assigment

Posted on by

When I was in the second half of my first quarter in high school Woodworking 9 moved online. When we went online we had to do some reflections of wood videos on the internet. A couple weeks into online Woodworking we had to do a wood ID assignment. In this assignment I had to walk around my neighborhood and pick a tree and identify it using some websites. I picked a tree close to my house and identified it as the western redcedar. I really enjoyed this project because this was the first hard woodworking project and it counted a lot for marks. When I first saw the assignment I was a bit intimated because I don’t know too much about trees. When I finished the Assignment I went to look at my mark and I got 10/10, I was really proud of myself.

Thanks for reading.
