SWM 1

Authors note; this is a six word memoir under the confession category, I chose this photo because I believed the person in it looked really funny and it adds to the comedic all aspect or the SWM itself. I also thought it relates because the man in the picture almost looks sick, or like they are about to "throw up" because there mouth is open, so it gives the viewer/reader a visual aspect to imagine when reading the caption. Dispute the person in the picture not actually being drunk.

skype reflection

My group presented an example of a "six word memoir" using an exclamation point (!) we tried to make our example funny and about a topic that they would find interesting so that they would like it more and it would be more memorable. i also used a funny picture and told them the story of how i got the picture.

My mini lesson wasn't that good i believe because it was made even more mini by our connections being interrupted. i am not sure how much they liked it because it cut out right before my punchline, making me just feel like a bad comedian rather then a good teacher.

this taught me that it takes lots of preparation and practice to be a good teacher, you have to be fun to keep the kids attention but at the same time teach them the info that you want them to learn, which as anyone may have guessed is very difficult

next time we Skype their class we should do something more interactive, maybe a game of some sort to get more people involved.

Personal post- We got a wildcard!

Some exciting news for the huskies varsity boys basketball team and the school as a whole.

 

Despite losing in the first round of playoffs, the varsity boys team has received a wildcard game to get into provincials. The team will get to play the Sisler Spartans on Friday at 6pm at garden city colligate.

So far this year in two meetings against sisler we have traded wins. We won the first matchup against them back In the championship game of the miles Mac buckeyes tornement to win our first tornement of the season. The second meeting we lost by 6 points in a heartbreaking league game at sturgeon a couple weeks later.

We love our matchup against sisler and encourage all huskies to come out this Friday and cheer the team on. We hope to see some enthusiastic fans out at garden city on Friday!

Personal post- graduation

My graduation is now only a few months away and I am just as nervous as excited.

I am graduating from sturgeon heights colligate's class of 2014 and my feelings about it couldn't be more mixed. On one hand it is exciting to start a new chapter in my life but on the other hand it is scary to enter this new world and leave behind the one that I love so much right now.

I am afraid to leave behind all my friends, and to leave behind all the fun we have together. I am afraid of what some people say about high school being the funnest time of our lives. Does all the fun stop right after high school or does it continue? Will the stress of university destroy things that I love in life? I am nervous about this because I know I have no choice but to accept what it for what it is. Obviously I have to graduate, I just hope that the fun times continue and I still get to enjoy life as much as I do now, after I do graduate!

The only thing I can do is wait and see an hope for the best. Enjoy the things I get to do now, like the fashion show, or high school sports, because I won't be able to ever do then again! I will just have to keep my head up always try to look for the upside of everything.

Personal post- grad fashion show

Though grad fashion show was a couple weeks ago it is still fresh in my mind. The fun of the night was revived after watching the newly released DVD of the show. It was one of the funnest and most memorable nights of my life to this point! It was defiantly worth all the boring practices and time we put in to learn the dances! One of my favourite parts of the night was when I got my solo at the end of the runway and got to dance in front of the whole crowd.

Because the whole show was themed after the Olympic Games, all the groups chose a country an a sport to theme their dances after. My group chose Australia as our country and theme for the first dance and snowboarding for our sport and theme for the second dance. Which was fun because we got to design outfits to match our themes!

It was also really fun to see all of the grade 12 students get along so well, as if they're were no such things as groups of friends or "cliques". All of the participants in the show hung out together after the show an we all had a great time! Just wish we could do it all over again but I know we can't so I'll just have to enjoy the memory!
