Assignments

​

I will be adding all of the documents and assignments from this page to the blog!

​

The assessment I will be doing will be based off of this rubric.  I will be emailing students regularly with feedback and comments for each of their assignments. If students have any issues with missing any assignments they need to let me know for whatever reason.

 

The descriptors in the scale below are based on the following expectations.

 

Students are able to:

  • Try to compete the assignment to the best of their ability

  • Problem solve and seek information from variable/multiple resources

  • Make connections within the assignments- taking the information learned and applying it to the question(s)

  • Make connections with their environment and community

  • Articulate and explain their thoughts and interpretation of the subject

  • Seek out and ask questions for better understanding and to expand learning if needed

Self-Directed Learning Plan A Self-Directed Learning Plan is an option for those self-motivated students who have a passion or a direction they want to take to best serve their learning at this time of the year.  This option is NOT suitable for everyone but can be a great opportunity to try somethings new or to expand on something you are interested in!

Home Improvement This assignment we will be building off of each over the next couple of weeks combining learning from our subject areas as well as other disciplines from around the school to things that are available at your house, since that's where we are mostly at the moment. The assignments will require you to do research and make educated decisions and choices while factoring costs and the availability of resources.

​
Choose your Flooring Taking information you found in the previous assignments, you are going to choose one of your rooms floors to renovate. It is going to involve you to make conscious and thoughtful decisions that you will need to justify with the information you gathered through your research.  Just remember to download the PDF first if you want to work off of it!

​
Final Touches After installing any type of flooring, the last step is to choose and install baseboards. There are 2 main different types of materials for baseboards and many different styles that will factor into your decision based on aesthetics, functionality and budget. There are some calculations needed but it is similar to the one made in the previous assignment so have a look at that video if you need to. Please have this done by the end Monday May 11th because next Tuesday we will be changing gears.

History of Tools One of the main skills that come out of our classes are how to use Tools, but it is interesting how long Tools have been around and what they have done to shape us Humans as an evolved species.

What's in your Tool Box ? It doesn't matter if you are 'handy' or not, every home should have some tools.  This assignment will get you to think about what tools are important to have on hand. Some tools are just as important as having an emergency kit, just in case. If you are not sure what's important, there are many list and videos on-line, you could also ask your parents or anyone else in your family. This also gives you a chance to think about some tools you might want to have down the road. Please go through the assignment and please have this done by the end Monday May 25th.
​
Driftwood Take a stroll out to Gary Point in Steveston, or head on down along River Road at the south end of Gilbert Road and walk along the beach and you will see plenty of driftwood.  With a little creativity, that driftwood can be created into many different things.  Maybe you are inspired by something you might see on Google, or maybe there are some pieces of driftwood that call out and want to be made into something.  This is your opportunity to get out and get creative.
