Hola Bloggers!
To be honest, I am super excited for this blog post!
Check out assignment 8; on Ms.Pollock's blog!

HOW AM I CREATIVE?
I think I am creative in a directive kind of way. What I mean, is I absolutely LOVE to edit, and make my own videos. I know; it doesn't seem all too creative, but it takes alot of work and imagination! You need to plot out an idea, record, edit it in a creative way to keep your viewers watching, and then POST!
I also like making original skits, monologues, and scripts. I remember when I went to Virginia, USA to visit my cousin, in our spare time, we directed, wrote a script, and recorded a video about the funny accent of our Filipino parents.
Our video was called 'Coppe,' (pronounced, copy), as in 'Coffee', that's how our parents would say coffee, which we always teased them about.
But don't worry, our parents were not offended, they actually found it funny.
How I express my creativity is by making, and posting videos. Check out my YouTube channel;

Check out my first directive video!
I recorded that video such a long time ago! I was so young!

So I hope you guys enjoyed that.
Adios Amigos!
I know, I'm a fail in Spanish.

Field Trip - 3,2,1.
Hiya Bloggers!
So last Friday, we went on our very special field trip to the Museum of Civilization, and it was really awesome!
So once again, the lovely Ms.P assigned us another 3-2-1 assignment!
3 Specific Things I Enjoyed Overall;
-Something I really enjoyed about this field trip was the hands-on things we got to do, like when we got to be archaeologists for a bit and dig in the sandbox, looking for 'artifacts' to confirm which region of Canada we were in.
-Another thing I really enjoyed was when we got the opportunity to walk around with these actors, and learn how the Metis were created. European men would 'abuse' the Aboriginal women, have kids, and then most of them left them to continue on with their journey.
-The last thing I really enjoyed was when we got to see the oldest artifact in Canada. It was a weapon, made of an animal's bone, that aboriginals used as weapons.
2 Important Things I Learned;
-I learned that the Aboriginal people in the Maritimes (Newfoundland, P.E.I, New Brunswick ect.) used a trap that looked like a net, made up of tree bark, to catch eels, and eat them.
-I also learned alittle something about the people in the Prarie region. The Aborignials there, would ride horses, and chase a heard of buffulo off a cliff, and would not waste anything on the bufflulo.
They would use their skin for shelter, and clothing.
They'd use the buffulo's meat to eat, and make pemmican. (Dried meat)
And they'd use the buffulo's bones for making weapons and tools.
1 Thing I Would Change;
The one thing I wuld change would have to be able to have more time at the museum. We were rushed to eat our lunch, and we weren't able to see the other exibits that I really wanted to see.
But all in all, it was a great field trip.

That's all for today. Stay tuned for more blog post!

Mystery History Maker
Hello Readers!
It's a new day, so that means new post!
So I am super excited for tomorrow, because we are going to an awesome field trip to the Museum of Civilization.
Ms.Pollock has us doing an assignment, called 'Mystery History Match' , where we play this game, and answer the following questions.
The Mystery History Match I was matched up with was Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
***
1.The truth is, I wasn't able to identify my Mystery History Match with the clues provided, until they the game told me at the end, who I was paired up with.
2. -Some things I have in common with Mr.Trudeau, was he was a very athletic, and active person. He skied, scuba dived, surfed, swam, and did yoga, and I love doing yoga.
He also earned a brown belt in judo.
-During his campaign, he had a nickname, which was PET. (His initials, because his name was too long). I also have a nickname, which is Claire. Because Clarissa to some what too long.
3. Pierre Elliot Trudeau is historically significant to Canada because he was the fifteenth Prime Minister of Canada. He was in office April 20, 1968 – June 4, 1979.
"I will use all my strength just to bring about a just society."
-Pierre Elliott Trudeau

So that's it for blogging today! I'm thinking about changing my layout, just so ya'll know if you come back to my blog, and not think I was hacked. Ha.
Until next time lovely Bloggers,

World of Work
Hello fellow bloggers!
So Mrs.Pollock assigned us a new assignment!
This assignment #7, takes us into the world of work.
Yes, work. I don't even like work at home. (Aka chores.)
This Wednesday, us grade eights are going on a field trip, to Landsdowne Park to learn about the world of work! Yay.
***
1.The sector that appeals to me the most, has to be the Service Sector, because I take an interest in baking, cooking, and anything with food!
I also wanted to become a waitress at one point, at a restaurant of some sort.
2. Here are some of the Trade and Technology Career sectors, with some of examples of their jobs available for each sector.
Construction Sector
-Electrical Wiring
-Refrigeration
-Landscape and Gardening
Employment Sector
-Job Interview
-Prepared Speech
-Workplace Safety
Information and Technology Sector
-Electronics
-TV and Video Production
-Graphic Design
Manufacturing Sector
-Robotics
-Precision Machining
-Mechatronics
Service Sector
-Baking
-Cooking
-Restaurant Service
Transportation Sector
-Aircraft Maintenance
-Automotive Service
-Autobody Repair
3. I hope to learn more about the Service Sector. Around baking, and fashion technology.
Questions;
-How long does it take to become a professional chef?
-Is there a course in college/university for baking?
-As a dressmaker, approximately how long does it usually take to finish a dress for a client?
Does it depend on the fabrics and patterns?
-Do you make appointments with clients for the dress they want you to make for them?
4.The pathway I want to take after university is, once again, the Service Sector. I want to become a waitress at a restaurant, or a barista at Starbucks, and work my way up as an entrepreneur. I don't really want this as a career, waiting tables, or making coffee, but I could live with being an entrepreneur for the rest of my life. Yet, I also wanted to be working with criminal justice. Like the show CSI: Miami.

So I'm glad I'm finally done this assignment!
I don't want to worry about what I want to be 'till high school! Ha!

-Claire
