Core competency Reflection

Prompt 1 – Communicating

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. For example, in my Spanish conversation, I organized the order of the script in my notebook and shared it with my partner to make sure we both understood what we were replying to, and we both had equal speaking time. In general, I can transfer the information I learn in class onto tests and assignments in a clear way because I study hard and I complete all my homework in order to understand each concept to the best of my abilities.

Prompt 2 – Collaborating

I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. In my Spanish conversation, I volunteered to write the script in my notebook and I researched some words to make sure we understood what we were saying and pronouncing, in order to continue the conversation. In general, I always volunteer to take on roles and begin conversations with questioning partners what they would like to do, as I am flexible and my main goal is to make sure the work gets done.

Prompt 3 – Social Awareness and Responsibility

I can be kind to others, and support others when they need it. When working with my partner, I noticed some words were not being pronounced correctly so I tried to assist them in pronouncing them correctly or breaking down the word in a way that might’ve been easier. In general, I send homework and lessons to people who have missed a class, and I stay positive in class.

Goal – Critical & Reflective Thinking

I need to work on asking open-ended questions to gather information because when doing this project, I knew I wasn’t 100% confident in my own pronunciation, but I didn’t confirm, and rather used my judgement to assume how to pronounce some words, and I wasn’t correct. In general, I often refrain from asking questions because I like to attempt to understand concepts myself or find ways to answer my questions before I get assistance, but if I fail, sometimes I convince myself it’s too late to ask for help or I just don’t have the confidence to.
