the overall topic for my podcast was “how technology makes the world a better place”. My goal was to interview my mom and see how technology has effected her job now and other careers she’s had in the past. I used voice memos to film my podcast on my phone and used anchor to edit it. I have used anchor in the past for a podcast in grade 8, I kind of forgot how to use it though so it was good to use this tool again to remember some things. Anchor is really good and easy to use if your a beginner at making podcasts. This has made me think about how easy it is to do things online now, and how technology has really changed the world.

For my paragraph I chose to write about Butterflys since they are very cool creatures and I find them interesting. The monarch butterfly population has been severely impacted by human activity, now you may ask why? And I am here to tell you, not only about their endangerment but a few other things. The loss of plants that keep pollinators healthy, deforestation, urban sprawl, the use of herbicides, and pollution are examples of human activities that endanger these species. But as a society we must understand how our actions can impact the pollinators. It is not only human activity that endangers butterflies, but climate change also has a big impact on their endangerment, as the monarch butterflies will shift their ranges to track more optimal conditions. But luckily, we do have good people in the world who like to help with things like this, a good example is a group of people in Fredericton wanted to see how many monarch butterflies make it back through their migration to Mexico and back. So, they started their yearlong project and built a temporary home for these butterflies. Once the monarchs are fully grown and ready to migrate to Mexico, this group of people will tag and track them on their way to Mexico. 

1 assignment I am proud of semester 1

one assignment I am proud of is my letter to the city council to change Dewdney trunk road name. It was a bonus assignment in social studies, I got 100/100 and I am very proud of it. We have made it on a few news sites. I will continue to use my growth mindset for this next semester.

One project I am proud of this semester is a bonus project for social studies. We were trying to get the Dewdney trunk named changed as he was a very bad person to the indigenous community a long time ago. We wrote letters regarding our concerns to Coquitlam City Counselor, our MP Bonita Zarrillo and our MLA Rick Glumac as well as Rachna Singh (the Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives) Since it was a bonus project it was out of 100 and I got 100/100. I am proud of that mark

break the fake part 2

I chose an article about a toddler who dressed up as Queen Elizabeth for Halloween, the family sent a photo to the royal family not expecting a response. A few months later they received a letter from the lady-in-waiting. The family was very excited about this and wishes to go to Windsor Castle one day in the same costume. (summary) 

 

The first photo is a picture of the royal letter written by the lady-in-waiting. I found this photo on the original news article I saw which was CNN. The second photo is me looking up “A Kentucky toddler dressed up as the Queen. A few months later she received royal mail hoax.” More news websites came up. The third and fourth picture I reverse searched the image on tineye.com. About 3 main news sites came up which I provided pictures of next. The first one was CNN which is where I found this article, CNN is a very big news site it looked very real to me. The second one is The Sun. I heard of this site before, doing this type of thing last year at my old school. It is a trustworthy news site. The third one was Yahoo, they did get the toddlers age wrong, but other than that they have included everything the other 2 sites have. (The steps I took to verify the information) 

I believe this story is true
