Mr. Wu Division 10

Hi everyone,

Below is a video I want you to watch about a few students talking about what being a leader means to them. I’m so happy that everyone in our class has leadership qualities within them, whether that is: honesty and integrity, they inspire others, or are just helpful humans. 

After watching this video, please answer the following questions in paragraph form. In addition, I want you to comment on at least one other person’s post as we begin to engage in online conversations to extend our learning outside of the 4 classroom walls.

1. Where have you seen leadership? What does this look like to you?
2. What do you think makes a good leader?
3. Who are some leaders you admire? Why do you admire them?
4. What are some skills that you have that makes you a leader? How can you use these skills to help others out?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend even though it is raining. But, then again, you teenagers are probably happy because you all can game out and watch TV all day due to the fact that you “don’t want to get sick” and be outside in the cold. 

-Mr. Wu-hooo

Hello everyone,

As Halloween is approaching, I decided to give you all a ‘treat’ on the weekly post. This week, I want you to watch the video on how Halloween was created and then after please write a short paragraph (4-8 sentences) about how you think “trick-or-treating” was created. Your creativity is appreciated! I look forward to the Halloween treats you will be bringing me next week. I will confiscate all Reese’s cups from you…. 

Good morning everyone. Just a quick reminder that this will be another 4-day week as we have a Pro-D-Day on Friday October 19th. As we continue to work hard on researching our artists, I ran into this oddly weird article where an artist’s painting got sold $1.4 million only to find out that it got shredded… yes! Can you imagine paying that much money and then coming home to it shredded and on the floor?!

Your tasks this week is to read the article: CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE

The auction house said it was “in discussion about the next steps” with the buyer, whose identity was not revealed. Some art experts say the work could be worth even more in its shredded state. 

DISCUSSION QUESTION: Why do you think the original artist created a shredder inside the picture frame? What should the buyer do now that this has happened? Do you think they bought insurance for the painting? Please answer this with a detailed paragraph or two. 

Have a great week!

-Mr. Wu-hoo

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with your families. As we all know, Burnaby is having an upcoming election for our Mayor being held in the next couple of weeks. Your task this week is to choose who you would vote for and explain (in details) why you choose to vote for them over other candidates. Here are the following candidates and what they ‘bring’ to the table. Please read each of their campaigns.

2. Sylvia Gung
3. Helen H. S. Chang

Hello, it’s me again. I ran into this video during my Master’s course readings today and it really made me think about my school experience. We all can remember that ‘one’ teacher that has affected our lives greater than most. The one you go back to visit every year, bringing them a cup of coffee/tea and just filling them in on your lives. Well, I want to hear it! 

Please watch this video, then make your post 

Task: Your goal for this week is to tell me your story about your favourite teacher that has made an impact on your life. What did they do for you? How were they always there for you? What makes them special?

Happy October Division 2! You’ve officially made it passed the first month of school… only 9 more left. 

For this week’s post I want you to explore the wonderful world of 3D printing. Your tasks for the week is to read the article “Structures of 3D printing.” Click here for the article: CLICK ME. 

After, I would like you to watch a video on building a house and large structures using 3D printing:

Since I want to build a new house for my fiancee and I to live in, what are your thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of using 3D printing to build a house. (Note: you will need to talk about costs, time it takes to build a house, durability and how long this house will last before it breaks down, etc.) Who knows, maybe one of you can help me design my house to be printed… (Also, please reply to at least one of your classmate’s post throughout the week).

Happy Learning!
