Comparative Cultures Mid-Term Assessment

This is my Mesopotamia Timeline project

Cause and Consequence

When working on this project, I used the Cause and Consequence curricular competency. During this project, I identified two significant developments in Mesopotamia that I found most meaningful and worked to determine how they came to be using a Cause and Consequence chart. My strengths during this project were working to determine the underlying, immediate, and long-term causes and consequences that caused/ impacted the developments. I believe an area for future growth would be gathering more evidence and delving deeper into the details of the developments. Overall, though, the project turned out well.

Thinking CC

Throughout this project, I applied the thinking core competency skills to help me complete my project. My strengths included comparing information from online and textbook resources to help me better analyze the events/developments I was discussing. I also explored evidence to evaluate which events held the most significance in Mesopotamia. To enhance my understanding, I actively asked questions about the topics we covered and referred to previous assignments for comparisons. Furthermore, I consistently asked for constructive criticism from my peers and incorporated their feedback to better my project by adding more details. In the future, I plan to improve my projects by incorporating more of my thoughts and perspectives on why events unfolded and how they influenced other events.

Social Studies 11 Mid-Term Assessment

Thinking

For my God project, I used my previous knowledge of how to do significant analysis to create my project. I used different websites to help me research, put all the information together, put them into my own words, and use evidence to explain the significance of my God. I was able to make my project detailed while still having the information flow nicely and be easy to understand for anyone who has never heard about my God. An area I plan to grow in is elaborating more on my topic and creating a project that doesn’t have lots of information but rather only the substantial parts.

I used both critical and reflective thinking when creating my God project. In order to collect reliable information I was able to look into a lot of material and compared it to information on other websites so that I could have back up evidence that the information I was putting down was correct. I was also able to ask for help when I was confused or when I just needed some help. Additionally, I put all of my information into a project that complied with all the requirements. Overall, creating this project required both critical and reflective thinking abilities .

When making this assignment, I was able to use my creative thinking skills. During the design process, I found inspiration from the environment around me, and formed ideas around them to design this box. When constructing this box, I persevered when things didn’t go my way and regrouped and developed my ideas so I could be successful in following my plan.

Creative Thinking When Making a Script

My Group Dialog For Spanish

During my Spanish 10 class, I used my creative thinking skills to create a Spanish dialogue with my group. When making the dialogue, I was able to form new ideas and also build on the ideas of my group to create a good dialogue. During the dialogue I was also able to use words and phrases that I have learnt in the past to help me when making the dialogue. There were some setbacks with figuring out what to do for our script but we overcame them and used our creative thinking skills to help develop our ideas. Overall, My creative thinking skills help a lot with making dialogues.

My Floral Paper Quilling project

During this project I was able to form new ideas and build on other people’s ideas by searching online for inspiration and adding my own ideas to it. I also persevere and use my setbacks to develop my ideas by trying again and doing things differently when something didn’t go my way. By doing that I was able to persevere and develop my ideas further by using my setbacks to succeed. I also learned about things that caught interest and used them to help me come up with creative ideas. By doing all of that I was able to use my creative thinking skills to successfully make something that I liked.
