My Compare and Contrast Paragraph about “Just Lather, That’s All” and Rope reflects both my strengths and weaknesses. For Example, something I show strength in is the transition words which will make me continue to use in my next essay. In this Paragraph something I might need to change in order to improve my writing are adding more comma’s and periods to have less run on sentences. I also need to do more pruning to eliminate words and make the paragraph overall less wordy.
Core Competency Self Reflection
One of my top priorities in the next coming weeks for my writing assignments will be brain storming my idea’s before doing the outline. The reason why this is really important to me is so I can visually see and gather my thoughts/ideas together; creating a better paragraph. And also making it easier for me to write my final copy. The second top priority for me is focusing more on the main point of the paragraph instead of drifting off and writing about something different to not confuse the reader.
This is a Photo Project which means using pictures of important community places and territories.
Curricular Competencies Reflection
Comprehend and Connect: During this Project I learned about the territory and stories told on lands. I grew in my reading, listening and viewing skills because I had to read articles and listen to podcasts in order to learn and understand the meaning of the lands. I will take what I learned and use it towards working on reconciliation by contributing to cultural events and activites and being more aware of the history behind territory/lands.
Core Competencies Reflection
Personal/Social CC: I grew in the Personal/Social Core Competency because the photos I used in my Photo Project is where some of my family lives and I connected with the pictures because of that. I did this by visiting the land and I also have family who can tell me the history of it.
Identify appropriate tools, technologies, food sources, processes, cost implications, and time needed for production
When making this recipe I made sure that I was using all the appropriate tools so I didn’t have to do extra dishes. I used a Jellyroll pan to bake the pizza on and used a cutting board and knife to cut the peppers and spinach. It took about two days to complete this dish because we made the dough one day and added the toppings and baked it the next day. The reason why it took two days to make this pizza is because the dough takes about 12-24 hours for the yeast to activate and rise.
Assess their ability to work effectively both individually and collaboratively, including their ability to share and maintain an efficient co-operative workspace
While making this recipe I worked effectively both individually throughout stretching the dough into the pizza shape because you weren’t supposed to work with our group members during this step. But I worked with my group while cutting the vegetables and baking part because we had to communicate who’s pizza was going in the oven first because there was only one pizza allowed in the oven at a time so it would cook evenly.
Core Competency Reflection
Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members is… making sure that my group members are happy and agree to take on a task, for example ingredient person or unit person. and equally dividing the tasks evenly towards everyone.
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to…make sure we are following the recipe correctly and kitchen rules.
I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see…my group members getting along and helping each other on the recipe questions. And helping one another when they finished their tasks before somone elses in our group.
While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by…explaining things to my group members if their unsure of something or the teacher is busy with another group. Also helping other groups that are behind on cleaning up while my group has already completed that.
One Goal
One goal that I have for myself going forward is When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I will ask questions to get to know them better and will actively listen when they are speaking. I am working on this goal because I’m not close with a lot of people in my class and I want to get to know them more.
– The project was about my class including the teacher being in a plane crash abandoned on a Desert Island on our way to Australia.
– My partner and I were encharge of all the given responsibilities, duties, and tasks to keep everyone alive, which we created.
– We created the laws, rules and chose people we would think would be best suitable for each position.
Core Competency Reflection
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is…when my partner and I were brainstorming about the project and i would add onto her ideas to create a better understanding of both of our ideas combined together.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…either ask to attend a walk just for a brain break or get some water to stay hydrated to better focus.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by…making connections and considering different viewpoints and perspectives when listening to my partner tell her ideas.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in…My Desert Island Project becuase it shows that I follow directions and instructions properly.
One Goal
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share.
I am working on this goal because when I get put into groups of people i am not familar with I tend to not share my ideas and thoughts. In order to achieve this goal i will become more comfortable with my classmates by getting to know one another on a more personal and familiar level.
Curricular Competency Reflection
I was able to form a Governemnt reflecting right and wrong in a civilized agreement by morally and ethically choosing rules/laws for an effective way for survival. Each student had a certain job they were required to do so all of us on the island could survive as a whole. Titles would be assigned for each persons strengths and capabilities. Laws and Rules were set in place to benefit the survival of everyone on the island.
This experiement is designed to show how the process of natural selection occurs in a predator/prey relationship. The prey is the insect (Yummi treatus) which is represented by the licorice candy in the photo i have provided. There are two pigmentations red and black for this species. The predator is a large bird which is you called the Dodo studentus.
Critical Thinking Self-Assessment Prompts:
I demonstrated that i can collect and analyse evidence when i… participated as the predator to catch the preys on different coloured backgrounds. I analysed evidence by comparing my results to each background to note which prey survived better given to their environment/background.
I demonstrated that i can connect evidence i collected to big ideas when i…am using the data and procedure of the experiment in order to connect it to real life applications or where the background represents in an environment for that specific species.
I demonstrated that i can make predictions based on evidence when i…know the purpose of the experiment and the results that will be discovered, i can predict these results based on my understanding of “camoflouge” and the importance that blending in has on which prey the predator will most likley choose in each scenario.
Learning Strength: Managing my time/ meeting my deadlines.
I’m a very organized person, what I mean by that is I like to start working immediately as I receive an assignment or task. I feel less anxious and flustered when I have accomplished something.
Core Competency Reflection
An example of me using time management is when I was in my LEC class, which this class is for finishing your other classes homework. I used time management when I had many tasks and deadlines for all my classes, by concentrating on one of my classes then doing the others one by one. This helped me be successful in the further week because I was able to stay on track and forget about being over loaded with work by using this method.
Core Competency: What core competencies did you demonstrate with the Research Assignment? Explain.
I find it easy to be part of a group becuase if im not sure about something i can ask my partner instead of the teacher.
I am kind to others, and support others when they need it becuase i know it can be hard to share ideas with new people but i make sure that their comfortable and not pressured into doing it.
I can identify and describe my qualitites by sharing my thoughts and ideas with the class or contributing in group activities and with my neighbor beside me.
What skills of you does this showcase? This project shows off my skills by researching up infomation and putting data into a powerpoint.
What core competency does this fill? The project filled in the Critical and Reflective Thinking becasue i had to brainstorm my own ideas/ thoughts and anwser my own questions becasue i was working by myself.
Why did you choose this? I chose this because i did a really good job on this assignment by taking it seriously and working above and beyound on it.
What did you learn during this project? I learned a little more about my backround/ cutlure and also learned more of my history.
Core Competecny Reflection
I can understand and share infomation about a topic interest in a clear, organized way. I chose this one because i find it talks about me in a short sentence easily.
I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. This “i can” statement describes me very well because im a good listener and contribute to my classmates questions.
I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. Im always their for a friend and classmate when they are having a hard time and always there to comfort them if they want me to.
I work with others to achieve a goal. I am working on this goal because sometimes when working with new people i dont attend the conversation once confortable but i plan on achieving this goal by joining after school activities to get more social and get more outside my comfort zone.
In order to achieve my career there are a few steps i need to take. First, i need to graduate high school so that i can apply to Douglas’ Criminology Program. At the same time i will also need a job so i can pay for tuition throughout my degree. Once graduated i can apply at various insitutions to start my career as a detective. I may or may not start with that job tittle right away but i will work towards it. Therefore, in order to earn my position as a detective, i will need to graduate high school, obtain a criminology degree, graduate post-secondary, and finally apply myself and work towards becoming a detective.
Core Competency Reflection
I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I chose this one because i use my ideas wisely to create unique things, and collaborate my thoughts/ideas with others frequently. I also connect with this “i can statement” very well becuase it describes me a lot.
I can develop a body of creative work over time in an area of interest or passion. I can get ideas that are groundbreaking ordisruptive and can develop them to form a body of work over time that has a impact in my community or beyond.
I can reflect on my thinking. I am working on that goal becuase i want to start thinking about my future and make sure that i am on the right path towards my goals. In order to achieve this goal i will right now my thoughts/plans and sort out the most effecient route forward.
