Personal assignment 

The Scouting program is a great way to met new people and to go extraordinary places. There are three divisions in the couting program, Beavers(ages 5-7), Cubs(ages 8-10), Scouts(ages 11-14), Venturers(ages 14-17, Rovers(ages 18-26). I am a Venturer, belonging to 2nd Aldergrove Scout group. 

Members go camping through out the year. They endure the worst treatment from mother nature. Scouters plunder through rain, skip in fallen leaves, tolerate deep snow and suffer under the hot sun. But despite these minor setback , it's amazing to experience the seasons first hand. I've been able to see the beauty in all the seasons. 

I have met so many new people, but I only consider my group members to be my friends. We meet many other groups at social camps. It's very nice to be gaining new life/social skills every camp. 

Thanks to Scouting I have been able to acquire a award called "Chief Scout Award". It's the highest award given at the Scout level in Scouts Canada.In order to get the award Scouters must complete various qualifications. These are some examples: Voyageur, Pathfinder, earn ten Challenge badges, Standard First Aid and World Scout Environment Badge. The highest award in the entire program is called "Queens Venturer Award". I am aiming to get this fantastic award next, during my time in Venturers.

20. Photo Challenge: Lone Survivor

The worlds population has been wiped out, except for one lucky survivor. With no hope of thriving in the abandon cities, the lone survivor must take to the forests. There, she will be able to hunt, forage and make some shelter.

Traditions and Customs of the Holiday season 

Winter is a desolate time of the year. It's a cold season with death around every corner. But even in this bleak time, there can still be life and happiness. Christmas is a wonderful holiday, taking place in winter. There are many ways to celebrate Christmas and many more traditions surrounding it as well. In my house we celebrate Christmas by doing various activities. Previous years we would get a real Christmas tree, but now we are starting to us a fake one. Usually my Mom, my sister and me decorate the inside of the house as well as the tree. 

My dad puts up the lights around the outside of the house. On Christmas day we have a big dinner including a turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and Yorksha-pudding. There are many presents to open under the tree. 

If were lucky and it snows; my sister and me play in the snow. Those are some of the traditions that my family does.

What is a storyboard?

From commercials to great movies and even training videos, these ideas all came from storyboards. All great ideas came started with storyboards. A storyboard illustrates drawings representing how the video will unravel, shot by shot.

Storyboards are made up of squares with drawings and notes on about what’s going on in the scene. Also it contains what will be said in the scene. Storyboards don’t have to be very detailed. It just needs all the characters that will be in the scene, enough visual reparation on what’s going on and what the general framing will look like. 

A storyboard is a great way to share your vision, it makes production much easier and a storyboard saves time.  

What's happening at ACSS?

I went to Mrs. Malory's cooking class for grade 11 and 12, during B-block and D-block. In both of the classes they were helping the teacher make tempura. So they could all sample the yummy dish. 

Most of the students in D-block were asked to cut up a variety of vegetables to deep-fry.

Student Deanna chops up some broccoli and sweet potato.

One student makes the dipping sauce for the tempura.

All students have to wear a apron when cooking and when they are finished they go in the dirty laundry bin.

  Mrs. Malory asked a student who was attending ACSS, from Japan to help prepare the batter and some more vegetables.

  

After the vegges are chopped and brought up to the demonstration table, Mrs. Malory begins to cover the vegetables in batter. Than proceed to put them in the oil.

Once finished the first batch of vegetables, students are allowed to sample them while she deep-fry the rest.

the finished product.

During B-block most of the vegges from D-block were unused, so students didn't need to chop vegetables.

After Mrs. Malory finished the demonstration and everyone had there fill of tempura. She asked everyone to help clean some cutting broads and than put them away. 

Once they were done the bell had rung marking the end of class.
