Curricular Competency Reflection

Create and Communicate

My characterization infographic allowed me to build on my representing and connecting skills. This assignment allowed me to have creative freedom when representing my learning and understanding of characterization. Through this project I learned how authors use different scenarios to develop a character’s values, culture, beliefs, and personality. The character I reflected on was Jason from “A Mountain Legend” I was able to gain an understanding about Jason’s insecurities when it came to his Indigenous identity. I demonstrated this knowledge in an organized way using colours, pictures, and words to convey my thoughts.

Core Competencies Reflection

Thinking

My characterization infographic challenged my creative and critical thinking skills in many ways. While developing my characterization chart for Jason I used my critical thinking skills to draw connections from the story to the descriptive words I chose. This project encouraged me to make deep connections with Jason and his personality. Using my creative thinking skills, I demonstrated a deeper understanding of my character using different layouts, photos, text, and colours. Overall, this project allowed me to build on my creative and critical thinking skills.
