POST SHOW CASE REFLECTION

Posted on by averyh2021

1. What was the best part of Directing/Script Development class this year, or what was your favourite thing about this class? What stands out for you?
The best part of this class was the overall experience of trying something completely new. I loved the collaborative atmosphere, and even though I realized that directing and scriptwriting might not be my thing long-term, I still appreciated the chance to explore those roles. I’ll definitely miss Mrs. Roberge—her support and creativity made the class special and memorable. What stands out most is how much everyone was willing to take risks and try bold ideas.

2. What skill, talent, competency or benefit do you think you got out of this class?
This class helped me develop a better understanding of how much work goes into building a script and bringing it to life. I gained skills in collaboration, brainstorming, giving and receiving feedback, and thinking critically about scenes and dialogue. Even though I learned that scriptwriting and directing aren’t my strengths, I got better at communication and creative thinking, which will help me in other areas.

3. What are you proud of, post-showcase?
I’m proud of pushing through and finishing a project that was outside of my comfort zone. Being part of something that came together through so many voices and perspectives was cool. Seeing our work performed and knowing I had a hand in it—even if I didn’t love every second—was something to be proud of.

4. Are you willing to share your final one act script or short film with next year’s students?
Yes, I’m happy to share it if it helps someone else get inspired or learn from the process.

5. If you are graduating: How can I reach you (after graduating this year) in future?
Yes—I’m graduating! You can reach me at averyhong123@gmail.com, and I’d love to hear from you.

6. What did you learn about the creative process, about producing maybe, that might benefit you in your future projects?
I learned that the creative process is rarely a straight line. It involves revisions, trial and error, and a lot of patience. Producing something as a group means learning to compromise and respect others’ ideas. I think that will help me in any future project, creative or not—especially anything that involves teamwork and leadership.

7. Anything else I should know?
Just that I really appreciated this class, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. Thank you, Mrs. Roberge—I’ll genuinely miss this space and the energy you bring to it.

Week 15 in Precalc – Reflection

Posted on by averyh2021

Precalculus Reflection

With less than one month remaining, I’d like you to take a few minutes to reflect on your progress through this course.  Type your responses in the space provided.

 

What do you feel your strengths are (in this class)?

 

I feel like I have become very strong at all types of factoring,  especially since it’s used in almost all the units so I have engraved it into my brain. I possess a solid mental comprehension of mathematical principles. Instead of simply remembering formulas and procedures, I try to understand the ‘why’ behind them. This greater understanding enables me to use concepts more freely and imaginatively, identifying answers that are not immediately obvious and connecting disparate areas of mathematics.

 

What are your stretches?  Parts that were difficult for you?  How have you tried to deal with these?

My biggest stretch would probably have to be inequalities and rational equations. I found this unit to be significantly difficult especially with the word problems. I dealt with this by taking my hard to answer questions to my tutor and we would go over them together so they would best make sense to me.

 

How do you feel you have grown as a learner in this course?

 

I think over the span of the semester I have slowly but surely gotten better with my study habits. It’s still a working progress but I think I’m getting there. I also feel that this semester I have gotten a good grasp on personal responsibility and that I am responsible for my own actions.

 

 

What do you need to work on to develop into a better learner?

 

I need to work on my work habits, I allow my self to stay away from topic to often and I am easily distracted. I plan on improving this by keeping myself accountable and on task while i’m in the class room.

 

As a learning team member, describe how you contributed.  Are there areas you could develop more?

 

I contributed to the team by always asking questions when I didn’t understand, I also always made sure people had a turn with the pen during white board time. even though I always asked questions, most of the time I felt hesitant and embraced that I didn’t get the topics while my team did, and I shouldn’t have felt like that. I need to better develop my self confidence and under stand that its okay to not understand as long as I ask for help.

Week 3 in Precalc 11 – Operations on radicals

Posted on by averyh2021

This week in PreCalc….

To multiply radicals, the index must be the same in each radical.

  • Multiply numerical coefficients by numerical coefficients
  • Multiply radicand by radicand
  • simplify into mixed radical form if possible

it is usually easier to convert each radical to its simplest mixed form before multiplying

Addition and Subtraction:

    • To add or subtract radicals, the radicals must have the same index (root) and the same radicand (expression under the root).
    • Add or subtract the coefficients (numbers outside the radical) while keeping the radicand unchanged.

Multiplication:

    • To multiply radicals, multiply the coefficients together and multiply the radicands together.
    • If the radicals have the same index, you can combine them under one radical.

Division:

    • To divide radicals, divide the coefficients and divide the radicands.
    • Rationalize the denominator if necessary by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

Simplification:

    • Simplify radicals by finding perfect square factors in the radicand and taking them out of the radical.
    • Combine like terms under the radical if possible.
    • If there are no more perfect square factors, the radical is simplified.

 

Here are a few examples to illustrate these operations:

     

 

 

.   

I chose this topic because it’s very important that these concepts make sense to me. this week my post is lighter on words and more heave on examples, and this is because I am finding with this unit that I need to see it visually for it to make sense for me.

 

hope this helps 🙂

 

 

 

 

Week 2 in Precalc 11 – Rational Exponents

Posted on by averyh2021

this week in Pre Calc 11, we have been finishing up with our exponents and radical lessons. The biggest issue I have is anything with fractions, which is really bad, so these are notes to myself so that I don’t forget how to do fractions with positive exponents, and radicals. I chose this because this is what I have the biggest problem with and I wanna make sure it stays engraved in my brain.

To start off this was always remember the flower power rule: the root is on the bottom.

When doing anything, multiplying, dividing, adding subtracting. Always remember the Exponent laws that we learnt in grade 10.

  • Zero Exponent Law: a0 = 1.
  • Identity Exponent Law: a1 = a.
  • Product Law: am × an = a. m+n
  • Quotient Law: am/an = a. m-n
  • Negative Exponents Law: a–m = 1/a. m
  • Power of a Power: (am)n = a. mn
  • Power of a Product: (ab)m = amb. m
  • Power of a Quotient: (a/b)m = am/b. m

Don’t get freaked out when things are double square rooted, because they can always be broken down into exponent fractions.

This is what I learnt ;

Rational exponents are exponents that are expressed as fractions. They are a way of representing roots and powers simultaneously. To understand rational exponents, it’s helpful to first understand integer exponents.

Integer exponents are used to indicate repeated multiplication. For example, in a to the power of n, is the base, and is the exponent. If is a positive integer, it indicates that the base should be multiplied by itself times. For instance, a³ means a × a × a

However, what if the exponent is a fraction or a decimal? Rational exponents provide a solution. Rational exponents allow you to represent both roots and powers. Here’s how:

  1. Roots: When the exponent is a fraction in the form 1/m, it represents the (m)th root of the base. For example,  represents the square root of , represents the cube root of , and so on.
  2. powers: When the exponent is any fraction p/q, it can represent both a power and a root. Specifically, ap/q can be thought of as the qth root of a raised to the power of p. For instance, ameans the square root of cubed, while a means the cube root of a squared.

Here are a couple of examples to illustrate:

represents the square root of , which is 2.

 represents the cube root of squared, which is .

Rational exponents provide a convenient notation for expressing powers and roots in a compact form, especially when dealing with non-integer powers and roots.

that’s all

hope this helps 🙂

goals:

Right now in labs I don’t think I’m doing anything that I’m not supposed to be doing. I think I’m right where I’m supposed to be. It is a little bit harder since we haven’t done any actual labs until post my shoulder surgery, so I know I haven’t been as helpful as I want to be when doing them. but I’m doing what’s best for my health. What I can do is make sure that I know what’s happening when I’m doing my labs and and make sure that I understand what’s being done in the labs, so that when I come back I’m not confused.

For collaboration, I would like to work on collaborating and talking more in my group even when I don’t understand what’s going on I know I’ve been good about asking questions within my group when I’m having difficulties but when I’m very confused, I tend to just watch and try to figure it out on my own. and that’s definitely not teamwork so I need to work on being more interactive with my group and I can improve on asking more questions.

Personal responsibility is definitely something I have to work on the most . I think I need to work on better study habits and studying strategies as I don’t think what I’m doing now is working for me and I definitely need improvement. I can do this by putting more time into areas that I’m having trouble with and I think that I should ask my teacher more questions.

End of semester goal reflection:

Now that we have reached the end of the semester and I have really had a chance to look back on the goals I had set mid term. I have definitely improved at collaborating in groups, whenever I had a question I would ask my peers and I improved on asking for help when I needed it. personal responsibility is something I am constantly working on, and I have defiantly worked a lot on it. I think I have gotten better at setting aside slotted time to study, but I can’t say I am good at being consistent. but I am working on it and I think it has greatly improved this semester.
