Aniket on

Curricular Response-

One of my images was a fence, which I used to represent segregation or setting boundaries between different people. The fence effectively serves as an object that sets a distinct boundary between two kinds of people. It represents a divided country as it symbolizes the government or society creating distinct boundaries between people. My quotation of, “this land is your land, this land is my land” vividly shows setting boundaries between different types of people, as the quote explains setting a land boundary between two different types of people.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

One challenge I faced was trying to interpret the hidden meanings behind the songs. This is one of my weaknesses, so I specifically looked for keywords that could point me in the right direction towards a general overarching theme. Another challenge I faced, was trying to come up with images to support the quotations or binary opposite I had created. Within my quotations, I attempted to focus on underlying themes that could easily be visualized using some sort of symbol or image. This is how I was able to come to the conclusion of using a fence, private property sign, and peace sign, as they coordinated with the themes within my quotes.

Brain Disorder Story Assignment Reflection

I demonstrated the communication core competency throughout this assignment as I had to communicate with my partner in many aspects. Specifically, during the assignment we had to come up with a storyline for our character to follow, so while I still came up with ideas on my own, I still encouraged my partner to voice his opinions and I valued his ideas. I also simply worked together with him to finish the goal, which was completing the assignment.

Another core competency I demonstrated was the thinking competency. During the project I was able to form new ideas for how the story should progress and where the character should see, what pieces of information should be in the subtitles or within the speech bubbles. Also, I was able to act on the ideas from my partner when he proposed any new changes to the story lines, speech bubbles,

Research Assignment Reflection

A core competency I demonstrated within the research assignment project, was the communication competency. Obviously within the group assignment I collaborated with my group members, and encouraged them to share their opinions on what questions we should be asking, as well as agreeing on one that satisfied all of us.

A personal/social core competency for me is that I can identify my strengths as a person, as I was able to easily put together the form and format in a way to separate the responses into categories for easily accessible information, and put the information into excel to present our appendix in an effective manner.

As for the thinking competency, I was able to interpret the data within our google forms and organize some of that data within our excel spreadsheet. The combination of both the results of the forms and the spreadsheet allowed me to read between the lines and analyze the evidence in order to properly write our conclusion.
