Clay Bowl Creation- final project.

My project was a video on how to create a clay bowl. I think it could be really useful for someone who doesn’t want to use plastics, as the clay bowl was made entirely out of old mud and heat. One thing I did not mention in the video was that you must fire decay after you have sculpted it, since before being fired it can be reused or re-sculpted. Some tools I used were: a toothpick, a knife, some water, clay and a rolling pin. I think this project has helped me rethink the items I use in my daily life and how I might be able to substitute more eco-friendly materials.

Something I am passionate about

Something I am passionate about is psychology, how the human brain works and how it causes us to act. For this particular assignment I have chosen to focus on how people can deal with anxiety. Coping with anxiety is really important in today’s society because more and more people are feeling it’s negative effects. According to Children.org nearly 1 in 3 of all adolescents ages 13 to 18 will experience an anxiety disorder. Not only that but according to Apa.org only half of the current generation (gen Z) feel like they can properly manage their anxiety. This is troubling because anxiety normally leads to other mental health illnesses, like depression, if not handled correctly. Some easy ways to handle anxiety could be breathing exercises, doing something that calms you down (drawing, exercise, reading) or using coping statements (sentences that help you feel better. Ex: you are not a burden, you are trying your best). Another way to handle your anxiety is to realize your stressor (work, a person, a place) and separate yourself from it for a while. In conclusion it is very important to be educated as well as to educate others on how to properly cope with anxiety because it is negatively effecting more and more people.

Break the fake

1. This is the article I chose to fact check for my break the fake project. It talked about how though Canadians are still going through the COVID 19 pandemic we are seeing that a number of Canadians are still living dept free.

2. I researched both the author and the news site.

As you can see it seems pretty credible.


3. I also looked up the news network on Wikipedia.

4. Then I looked it up on snopes but nothing popped up.

5. finally, I looked for other sites saying similar things.

my conclusion is that this article is real since it was written by a credible person and posted on a credible website. I also think it was real since other reliable sources were reporting on it.

example: (a photo of a dog)

cool dog! He looks so fluffy. If I had access to a magical genie that asked for my soul in order to have three wishes I would definitely wish for a dog like that. What’s your favourite dog breed?
