Curricular Competency Reflection

For information, the journals, graphic organizers, and circles help me in different ways. The journals helped me support my preparation for my final assessment by having me find a song for the mood of the story, helped me where the setting was, and helped me create an example of showing what my main character looks like. I then get to use the information from my journals on my final assessment. The graphic organizers helped me create paragraphs for my paragraph writing and helped me find the information for the big ideas. For circles, I didn’t get information from others for the essay writing but I was able to present/talk about my book to others. For my choice of what my personal connection piece would be I chose a poem; the reason why I chose a poem is that it doesn’t give out detailed information like an essay and it is enjoyable when you try to find rhyming words if someone creates a rhyming poem.

Core Competency Reflection

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by connecting to others’ conversation topic(s), questioning, and starting a new topic(s) to talk about. By connecting with others, I talk about the connection with either my book or myself which helps me if people understand/agree or don’t understand/disagree with my connection and I learn that my connection is not related to the topic. With questioning, I make sure to know the topic and process myself to connect with the topic. Creating/starting a new topic helps my understanding because I get to build up the topic and have some others be included which lets me know that I am on the right track.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I listen to some music when I need to boost my mood and think of why I am getting distracted to re-focus. Listening to music in general is a mood changer, music always moves my emotions when I am feeling in the mood of a certain emotion and upbeat music makes me feel uplifting. When I am distracted, I think of the reasons why I am getting distracted and I end up doing work and sometimes I finish or do not finish depending on the situation/reason.

This is how I select images and words to create an impact for different audiences: For selecting images, I just use random images that relate to my topic so they can be understood and entertaining. I sometimes talk about the image(s) for more attention when my presentation feels a bit dry. For words, I rarely use any heavy words or language to have my audience feel interested; I mostly use keywords if I present something and I describe something. I mostly use different energy ranges depending on the conversation that I am talking about but I usually just make my presentation funny.
