Life Saving Measures

My three main takeaways from the two presentations would be recognizing when someone needs CPR or when someone is overdosing, how to conduct CPR properly or use of the Naloxone kit, and the significance of notifying emergency services as soon as possible. Expanding on those ideas I noted that the Naloxone kit is free and can be found at any local pharmacy in my neighborhood. As for CPR, I noted that just by performing CPR the chances of the person surviving rise significantly from about 10% to 40% which is highly significant and could play a huge factor in saving a life. To perform proper CPR you should be consistent at around 100-120 presses per minute. These processes require conducting certain procedures in a safe and reasonable manner in order to keep the affected person(s) safe. These three points are crucial in my life as especially as someone who is always engaging in sports, activities, and daily life, the chances of seeing someone go into cardiac arrest at some point in my life are quite high as I’m always surrounded by people in environments where some may not be best suited. Therefore having the skills of just being able to perform CPR or use an AED or Naloxone kit could be the savior in someone’s life and are very useful tools to have in our society especially.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection:

I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them:

To analyze my own beliefs and evaluate viewpoints that contradict them, I begin by being open-minded and prepared to listen to diverse points of view. I feel this is shown in my everyday life as my beliefs are different from my friends, family, and others a lot of the time, which is okay as everyone sees the world from a different perspective. To make this a positive thing I engage in positive discussions with others who have opposing viewpoints, and am willing to change my view in response according to what they have to say.

EFP 11 Core Competency

My Artifact:

Photo Project

Curricular Competency Reflection:

This assignment reflected on the land we reside on and many other indigenous communities within BC. I learned a lot about the territory I live on which I felt was really impactful. I feel I really benefited from the concepts of land, and community and how it has affected indigenous communities throughout the years. After visiting all these places and learning about the various groups that the land belongs to it made me realize how fortunate we are to be able to live and grow on the land we have. This project has truly expanded my knowledge of indigenous communities and I am proud of the work I’ve completed.

Core Competency Reflection:

Thinking: During this assignment, I had to share the photos and experiences I went through while being on the traditional lands of many different indigenous communities. I also had to reflect deeply on the stories behind the places I visited and how they are related to the indigenous peoples as well as how the colonization of the land has impacted them.

My Artifact:

Indigenous Storytelling Assignment

Curricular Competencies Reflection

Comprehend and Connect:

I am proud of this artifact, not only because I achieved well on it, but rather because of how my writing represented my beliefs. By explaining my viewpoint and discovering indigenous storytelling, I have proven the curricular competency of being able to comprehend and connect. I’ve discovered that you can convey knowledge, cultures, heritage, values, and more through storytelling and was able to express my knowledge of these topics well throughout the assignment.

Core Competencis Reflection

Thinking:

Thinking, is the core competency that I feel I was able to truly develop and elaborate on during this assessment. This is due to the fact that, in contrast to other tasks, this one required me to utilize a lot of imagination and consider deeply how I felt about the principles, ideas, and themes that the indigenous people had taught me. I’m glad to have been able to forge a strong connection and think thoroughly about the principles we share because without this assignment, neither my objectives nor my understanding of indigenous cultures would have expanded.

Physics 11 Core Competency Self Assessment

Thinking

Critical and Reflective Thinking

During physics class I can, find and create data by completing experiments and labs according  to specific topics. I showed this when completing the Position- Time Graphs for Constant Velocities lab. During the lab I was able to create a data table with my group members by walking at 3 different speeds and measuring time and distance at a certain point. I was able to input this into my data table to help further complete the assignment.

 I was able to reflect on my own thinking by checking for errors throughout the lab. By doing so I was able to look back and correct errors that may have disrupted my data and graphs. 

I was able to analyze evidence to make judgements. This was shown in my work when analyzing the data in my data table then having an idea of what my graph should look like by the judgements I made earlier. This further on corresponded to my slope calculations as based on the graph I could make a judgement whether my slopes would be positive or negative depending on the lines created on the graph.
