Core Competency Self-Assessment

Communication, Thinking, Personal Awareness

This is a the full pig that we dissected. It is fully cut open and we can see all of its parts including the heart, intestines, and stomach.

I demonstrated the 3 core competency’s in the piggy dissection lab by communicating, thinking, and personal awareness. We first started with communicating with each other and explaining what it is we all have to do. This would make it easier for us to complete because we all communicated and figured out what we needed to all do. When we struggled, we would talk and come up with new ideas to try and help each other. In order to do so, we needed to think as well. We would be able to come up with better ideas off each other’s so that cutting the pig would be easier and less stressful. When there was a problem or we got stuck, we would stop and think of what to do to overcome the problem together, and would bounce ideas off each other to create the best possible outcome for the project. We had goals to complete at the start of the project, and overtime we would work together and achieve them as well as learn what we were doing. If we had to, we would go in at lunch or flex to finish what we needed to do so that we could still be able to achieve our goals. The next time, we could try and work faster so that we won’t need to go in at lunch or flex, but it wasn’t a huge deal because we still got it done and were able to accomplish the goals that we set.

ENGLISH 11 POETRY REFLECTION

My Poem:

This is the poem I created about my hockey stick

Curricular Competencies Reflection:

The overall purpose of this poem was to write about how important hockey is to me, and I chose to write about my hockey stick because it is a really important asset to hockey. My intended audience for this poem was my teacher because it was an assignment that I had to do. This poem is personal and related to me because it is about hockey, and I have played hockey my whole life and is my favourite sport. I have learned so much from hockey and it has got me through life when other things didn’t, so this is a pretty personal topic. When I made this poem, I wanted this to be an interesting poem, so I thought this poem through and tried to add as many poetic devices as I could to try and make it interesting. I used imagery in this poem by using the sight and feel senses to create a detailed and engaging poem.

Creative Thinking Core Competency Reflection

I chose this topic for my poem because I love hockey and it is really important to me, so it would be easy to write about since I know so much about it. I have played it my whole life and the idea came up right away, which I then knew I would write about it. I formed my own ideas because I know so much about hockey, so it was easy to come up with new ideas. I just had to think about how to write the poem, but other than that, the ideas came up pretty easily. Some of my strategies that helped my imagination was to just think of me playing hockey. I would think about what I do on the ice and how I play, and once I had the imagination, it helped me write my poem a lot easier.
