My Track Season went very well, then I expected I went all the way to Provincials. This 2023 year season I have as-well met a lot of former athletes who have helped me improved by pointing out what, I needed to work on and what drills I can do. Another, aspect is my grade in physics which Actually went better then I anticipated.
Areas To Improve In
Goals
Action plans
To Stay more motivated
Create smaller goals to reach the bigger goals and tape it to my wall so, I won’t forget about where I would want to go.
To stay determined
To take notes in class. Then look over the notes again.
The continuity and change within my overall progression of my work defers amongst strength and weakness. While we turn the focus on the continuity within my project. Is seen in strength on analyzing the on-going traditions, in which I as-well provided an in-depth explanation of it rather than addressing it with little information. Therefore, not only adding the definition and impact that it has on the culture but adding the story behind it as well. That specific aspect was my strongest continuous aspect. My weakness that needs to change is working with others, indicating patience and trying harder to understand what someone is trying to say.
Creative And Reflective Thinking Paragraph
My strongest ability is my creative and reflective thinking core competency. Therefore, it consisted of a lot of strength that is seen in my overall projects. I tried my best to do in-depth and good overall good research of my projects. Therefore, I took notes on every resource that was given and trying to combine it into one huge aspect. This as-well meant that I had to create a poster that Consisted all aspects of their culture. This meant I had to include the Colors, the symbols of their religion, and the artifacts that was known to their culture. However, all the re-sources must be authentic rather, then something that is not. The creative aspect also consisted the way that I format everything, including the pictures on the side that it fully represents. Although, the creative side was strong I needed growth more in the Reflective thinking because I needed to add more things and try to understand the information more. Therefore, improving my strength in the overall reflective aspect.
My main three topics revolve around the collaboration competency
• I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by ensuring everyone’s ideas has been shared. This year I would like to continue that strategy.
• I show that I value feedback from others in my group by ensuring I understand. Demonstrated by asking for more of a depth explanation of what their trying to say. And how would they visualize it. This year I would like to ask for more feedback from my peers within group projects.
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I create small conversations within the group project. For starters I need to introduce myself and ask their opinions on the group project. After everyone’s feedback I then, consider giving my ideas on how we should combine everything into one large project:). Within a group project It’s best to start conversations with those you don’t know. And make sure you have everyone’s ideas/ opinions. This year I would like to use this method to know more people.
should genes be allowed to be owned by anyone? Why or why not?
Genes cannot be allowed to be owned for they are your personal DNA, which is a very specific set that define who you are as a human being! Technically, speaking it is you, yourself. The way your body functions, the way you look and nobody should not own your genes! In the further depth explanation this that will hopefully deepen your understanding you will effectively define whither one can duplicate or replicate your genes without your consent. Because DNA will always naturally occur and can’t be manipulated outside your laboratory. However, during the law that has been apparently placed, it states “Individuals do not own their DNA or any tissues to that extent.” Which, is utterly unbelievable. Individuals should be given this ownership as it is theirs and nobody else’s.
“Reflection On Social Awareness And Responsibility”
I can value diversity, defend human rights, advocate for issues, and interact with others. This Unit in science had taught me many things, especially in the structure of different genes. The unit also, caused me to improve with my creative thinking as-well as critical thinking. The different class discussions have made me think about the different possibilities and the what if. My responsibility is 50/50 I’m responsible when it comes to my actions, however I need sometimes more time for my homework.
This visual representation reflects the Core Competency Personal/Social
The visual above reflects the core Competency Social/ personal and how I maintain to be successful in grade 9. The shape is a Graduation hat because it represents my education and why I want to achieve my goals. This also represents my patience in my education where I want to complete my assignments and projects with full effort.
For a more depth explanation:
Social Responsibility is something I feel most successful in this course. The reason I feel must successful is because I know how to stay motivated during class. For example: When I need to boost my mood or re- focus I remember my future plans and why I want to succeed in my education. There are moments during in person learning where my mind wonders off. If this situation occurs, I take a break for at least 10 mins or even less. I used this strategy in my Personal Story presentation and identity poem project that I was really proud of. This also provided me with patience on reviewing all the lessons to provide a good paragraph and different types of poems. I redid all mistakes or even undo everything if I wasn’t happy with it. This way I will be happy of my project and my effort really shows. If taking a break doesn’t really work then I would ask my mom if she could help me out with my homework.
My small snip of my Poem “A Little About Me”:
I used different techniques from the lessons that was taught to me in the course of different types of rhythm, stanzas ext…
A little about me
I understand (4)
I make mistakes (4)
Everyone does (4)
But, I get up (4)
Wipe my tears away
And go somewhere not far away
Even if it takes a small break at a cafe
Or somewhere quiet, but peaceful like A bay
I want to make sure that it’s going to be a fresh start the next day
