Reflection
What is your Inquiry Question? Has the focus of your inquiry shifted or changed since you wrote your Personal Learning Plan? Explain.
My inquiry question is, “How do our childhood experiences affect how we behave.”
Since I last wrote in my Personal Learning Plan, the focus of my IDS project shifted, before it was based more on criminals and what in their life affected them or caused them to do the crimes they have done, now it is based more on how people generally get affected by their childhood experiences or traumas.
How is your time management? Are you using CENT time weekly to work on your Inquiry, or are you finding other time during the week?
My time management is good overall. I mostly spend time during cent time working on researching for my project and working on it, but on the rare times I have other homework or things to do, I work on my project at home or during flex times to catch up on my research.
What resources (people, websites, apps, videos, etc.) have been most helpful?
I find that researching using websites on google has helped me with finding useful information that I need. I have also been talking to my friends and some of my teachers to get their opinions and thoughts to help me expand my learning and get their views on my inquiry question.
What challenges are you currently facing with your Inquiry? What challenges have you overcome?
A challenge I am currently facing is figuring out how to display my information on PowerPoint and how I am going to organize my information. A challenge I have overcome is finding a question I am interested in and finding sources to use for research.
Describe your growth of a Core Competency through this inquiry process.
The development of Core Competencies I have had throughout this inquiry process probably has to do with the improvement of my communication and thinking Core Competencies. Throughout this process, I have been able to ask for help and advice when I am stuck, use critical thinking skills when looking for information and putting different ideas together, and talk to others and get their views to help me expand my ideas.
How will you share what you have been learning, creating or planning in this Inquiry? Are you on track to share your learning by the end of May or early June?
I will share my learning using a PowerPoint that shows what my question is, what I have researched, and the conclusions I have come to. Overall, I think I am on track to share my learning by the end of May or early June.
Will you continue working on this Inquiry, or parts of it, for your Capstone next year?
I might continue working on this Inquiry/ parts of it for my Capstone project next year because I am passionate about my question and truly interested in learning more about topics similar to it.
