I showcased Critical thinking with this test because I was able to cross-reference the information that I already knew about the story Romeo and Juliet and determine what was the most probable answer. I was able to fully understand what the questions were asking and how to answer them correctly. Critical thinking is what led to my success on this test and I will continue to use my critical thinking skills to answer questions.
With the information that I have learned I was able to narrow my career path to two different professions; Dentist/orthodontist and Accountant. To become a dentist I will have to take many sciences and high level math during my time in centennial if I do not want to take the courses in university. Some of the classes that I will need to take are Chemistry 12, Bio 12, and math 12 foundations or higher. Then once I am in university I will have to do four normal years studies then I will be eligible to apply to the dentistry program. After these four years i will be able to become a dentist but if I want to make more money or go into more specific areas it will take another 2-4 years. To become an Accountant I can take accounting during high school which will give me a better understanding about what accounting is and how it is done. Once I am in university I will need an under graduate degree which will take 4 years and then once I finish that I will be able to apply to a accounting program. Therefore I am prepared for the long journey of becoming a working adult.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements. I chose this core competency because during projects when I would find new information I would cross reference it with other information networks to see what was true or not. I also used my own digression in what I though was realistic.
I can reflect on my thinking. I also chose this core competency because I showcased this many times over this course. I was able to look back on things I was doing and improve upon the things that I struggled with.
I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals. During this course I have Been working toward many different goals. My teacher and peers have given me information on how I should accomplish them and this has helped me complete my goals
I consider more than one way to proceed in an investigations is a core competency in which I would like to work on. Sometimes when I think the way I am doing things is right I will ignore other ways that I could possible use which has lead me to get less information at times. I will start looking into other ways of investigating information to better my understanding of different subjects.
This is a linear equation. I can tell from the graph because the equation forms a straight line. I can tell from the equation, because it is a polynomial and has whole numbers.
This is a linear equation. I can tell from the graph because the line on the graph is not curved but straight. I can tell from the equation, because it does not have a degree over 1 and only contain whole numbers.
This is not a linear equation. I can tell from the graph because the line is curved. I can tell from the equation, because it contains exponents.
This is not a linear equation. I can tell because of the line being curved. I can tell from the equation, because it contains numbers that are not whole.
I explored mathematical ideas using technology when I further researched the differences between linear and non-linear equations to be able to better understand them. This allowed me to answer the questions in full sentences and proper reasoning.
I analyzed data and used criteria to draw conclusions when I was determining which equations were linear and non-linear. I used the information I already had and was able to distinguish the differences.
I Justified my conclusions with evidence when I used reasoning and information that was in the equations to prove my points. I also justified my conclusions with the graphs by stating that non-linear equations are curved.
Novel Studies Unit Test
My Novel studies Unit Test show-cased critical and reflective thinking. I showed this core competency by using my learning from previous classes and projects to answer the questions on the test. I slowly looked threw the questions dismissing the questions that I knew could not be correct until I found the answer that made the most sense. I was able to take the quotes in context and be able to figure out the true meanings behind the words. I also looked at things from not only my perspective but the characters to get a better understanding of what they were thinking and feeling. I was able to look back on the questions I got wrong and improve on the things that did not get full marks or I think that I struggled on. Lastly I used different tactics to answer the questions fully and give proper well worded explanations.
