Curricular Competency Reflection
To express myself in this project, I used my notes, my vocab sheet, and a word search on Reverso.net to refer to previous grammar points and vocabulary in order to convey my thoughts appropriately with spelling and grammar. I had access to vocabulary related to weather and used past grammar points such as verb conjugations and gender agreement. I had to adjust significantly on how expressed myself since I wasn’t able to put together such complex sentence structures in French, compared to English. It was a very different writing experience since it took me a longer time in order to write a single sentence since I had to be able to adjust my ideas to make them into simpler sentences. I was personally in a situation where I didn’t know the language and I had to somehow adjust how I expressed myself, I can say that it was pretty difficult, especially since I felt like an outsider since I couldn’t fully express myself so I had a hard understanding my teachers and my peers.
Core Competency Reflection
When it seems the good ideas just wonβt come to me, I brainstorm and look for inspiration to create space in my mind and think clearer.
When I am sad, angry or frustrated, listening to music helps me be more productive or calm.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my writing because its my preferred mode of expression.
One goal I have moving forward, is to be able to grow my communication skills in different areas.
