Special Blog #1: The Bio Cube

 Hello ‘Ilima

    So this isn’t a normal blog, this is a ✨special✨ blog. We are talking about the Bio Cube. The Bio Cube is a cube which 6 sides of information. The sides are Name, Background, The Personality, Significance, Obstacle, and Quote. My favorite was either Quote or Background because my quote was from my favorite song and I like to talk about my background. It took us around 1 week of designing and building to finish it and I am happy with it. After we were done, we shared our Bio Cube around 3 times. One was after we finished, the next was during the field trip, and the last was during school. All of this sharing was also a lesson on how to public speak. To summarize, the Bio Cube was 6 sides of information that taught us lessons about speaking, designing, and constructing.

    A highlight of the Bio Cube has to be the design of the Bio Cube. I had so much fun making colors patterns and placing other parts. I was doing that for 1 or 2 days and it was a lot of backtracking and re-doing. I kept on messing up the color but I still had lot's of fun making that part and it looks really nice. Another highlight would have to be the sharing. I was very nervous at first, but I learned to relax and speak loud and clearly which helped with some of my confidence issues. A lowlight was definitely the picture of me. I had planned to put two photos, one from a couple years ago and one from graduation. But I realized there wasn't enough space. I had to cram in only one photo and I think it looks ugly. 


    There were multiple lessons I had learned from the Bio Cube experience so it would be hard to narrow it down to one. So that's why I'm not going to narrow it down. The first lesson I learned was how to public speak. I was never a good public speaking as I was always too nervous to speak in front of crowds but learning methods of speaking definitely helped. I became a louder speaker and a more confident talker due to the sharing of the Bio Cube. This might sound weird, but the making of the Bio Cube made me learn that I need to be aware of how I place things. The first part of this was the picture because I had messed it up while trying to place it. But the reason I had the problem was because I unknowingly made my name too low so that the picture couldn't fit. I now know to be aware of where I place things because it could cause other problems down the line. 

     If I were to change the assignment, I would make the box and design bigger. I would want them to be bigger because it would allow for more pictures or designs which will make the box look better. It would also help me as it would have made my mistake nonexistent. Of course you can’t make the box and design too big but making it a little bit bigger could make a big difference. 

GLO List:

1. Self Directed Learner: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 1, Self Directed Learner, by designing and constructing the Bio Cube by myself

2. Community Contributor: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 2, Community Contributor, by handing out supplies that I had to people who needed it more.

3. Complex Thinker: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 3, Complex Thinker, by making smart design choices for my Bio Cube.

4. Effective Communicator: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 4, Effective Communicator, by speaking in front of small crowds and sharing my bio cube loud and clearly. 

5. Quality Producer: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 5, Quality Producer, by making my Bio Cube’s design look the best it can be after working on it for multiple days.

6.Ethical and Effective User of Technology: During the Bio Cube process, I showed GLO 6, Ethical and Effective User of Technology, by using Canva effectively and harmlessly.

     

     This concludes todays ✨special✨ blog. A normal blog will be coming out shortly but for now I hope you have a great week. Cheers to another day!

Hello ‘Ilima You’ve been traveling on foot for the past couple of days now and you are starving. Your supply of water ran out and you are desperate for a resting place. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a wooden cabin. You knock on the front door and an old man answers your knocks. He had gray, curly hair and has a built stature. His eyes look tired and his hands look dirty. “Oh hello there, do you need anything?” You explain your situation and the man lets you in. He allows you to stay in his house for all long as you needed to. You wash up in his bath as he prepares you a meal. When you are clean, he gives you brand new clothing in order to be more comfortable. As you start eating the food, the old man asks you about your journey. You explain how you have been looking for a purpose in your life and went on a voyage to explore the world. “I think I have a story that can help you.” the old man tells you. You interest is piqued and you want to hear what he has to say. “It all start...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
