On March 14th, we learned about Naloxhome, which is a Service group that talks about overdoses and how we can prevent the death rate from overdoses by providing people with small carry kits of naloxone, which is a drug overdose blocker that helps lower the rate of overdose deaths

Also, things I learned from all 3 classes were fairly simple: I got to learn facts about the death toll from cardiac arrest and what to do to decrease that number to save lives. He also taught us how to perform CPR on a patient and explained certain times he had to use CPR or stories about CPR that he knew since he was a fireman. second time someone came in and taught us about the side effects of drugs such as opioids, alcohol and nicotine, She explained stories about the ER, such as a male showing up with a beer can in his rectum, Other than that, she warned us about the side effects of taking these drugs

and on the last day we had a woman come in explaining about naloxone witch is a community that help spread awareness about how to prevent overdose deaths

My Poem:

Curricular Competency Reflection

How did you choose your poem? I did not personally; I was stuck on what poem to use, and i kind of gave up, but when i asked for help from one of my teachers, that was when he helped me find an idea from a poem he liked as a kid. I asked Ms. Olchowy if it was fine to use, and sure enough, it was. thats why i chose my poem

Which of the in-class activities helped you prepare to present your poem? For me, what helped was when we recited it with a partner on some days. It helped me kind of memorize my poem and get ready for when it was time, and it helped me learn the tones and where to pause.

What other strategies did you employ outside of those taught in class to prepare for presenting this poem? For me, what helped was when I read it at night before I went to bed, i noticed that when i woke up some of the words stuck to my head. Another was listening to music; whenever i forgot a part, I recited a part of a song that was playing while I was reciting my poem to a friend.

How did completing the paragraph write about your poem help you present your poem? for me, im not so sure, i think when you type/write different tones and explain more about the poem it helps you learn more about it so when you need to present you are all set with different views about your poem and how to present it.

Core Competency Reflection

How did you choose your poem? You could talk about the requirements of the assignment BUT if you extended beyond that to looking at the content, explain how that influenced your choice.

  • I chose my poem in LEC class with Mr {Peacock & Mr Southerland, we were looking around for poems and he gave me an idea of one of his favorite poems growing up, he read it to me and showed me it, it was catchy and was very interesting so i ended up choosing it.
  • Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in… Group work, when i do group work i always communicate clearly, especially during the poem we had to do peer review and i stated what i was missing and what i needed to work on and i asked my peer to help me stick it to my brain.
  • An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… During this poetry recitation, when i needed help to find a poem because i was lost, i asked a teacher. that teacher ended up helping me by giving me some ideas to memorize the poem and what poem to choose, i used his idea to help me and found a poem i liked, i didnt fully memorize it but it did help alot.
