Comparative Cultures Mid-Term Assignment

Inquiry/Evidence:

For this assignment i did a good job with explaining my thoughts on the matter and generally what was good about the Babylonian empire. Something i need to improve on is giving specific details about certain topics. I need to provide sources and use the materials given to the to the best of my abilities.

core competency communication :

I communicated my thoughts very well in this assignment but need to get better at analyzing and describing the thoughts and findings of others. Understanding the thoughts of other will improve my communication skills.

Fall Concert

during the concert I played with the senior concert band and was also stage manager for the entire concert. Some skills and techniques I would like to improve on are making sure I constantly look at the conductor and am following along with the music properly. I’m not sure of what my plans for music are going to be in the future not I do know that I definitely want to continue it somehow.

I used communication the entire concert. I used communication when talking and directing the stage crew as well as when I had to talk to my bandmates about sharing stands and flipping music.

I demonstrated personal awareness/responsibility by making sure I brought my music, and everything I needed to be prepared to perform.

Spanish 10 Core Competency Assignment

Me Te Le Nos Les dialogue

I expressed involvement in the communication core competency during this assignment by sharing ideas with my parter, discussing strategies, and writing down carefully thought through dialogue. My partner and I struggled tremendously during this assignment. Though it was difficult, we stayed focused and completed the task on time with few errors. If I were to do this assignment again I would read it over multiple times before handing it in.

Spanish 10 Core Competency Reflection

Collaborating

My artifact is a picture of my groups script for our first Spanish presentation.

During my Spanish 10 class I collaborated with two classmates of mine to create a script for a Spanish presentation. The core competency I chose was collaborating. I chose collaborating because my group and I worked together to get all of the criteria needed for our script into it on time. We shared ideas and chose the best ones that worked for the situation we chose. Some skills I gained through this activity were learning how to share ideas in a bigger group. Something I need to get better on is overthinking my ideas. When we were working on the script I would go back and forth on my ideas and waste a lot of time deciding whether or not to do something.
