For my Spanish 10 class, we were assigned a small dialogue to do with partners. We had to complete a half-written conversation and include some of the verbs that we were learning about. I had to work with my partner in order to include them in a way that made sense with the context of the script and was grammatically correct. We had to collaborate in order to solve problems and communicate our ideas with each other to create a well thought out script.
During my Spanish 10 class, we were assigned an assignment where we had to write a script using various vocabulary in a group of four. I had to work with the other people in my group in order to use all of the vocabulary in a way that made sense , and collaborate with them to solve problems. This activity helped me to improve my communication skills quite a bit, and it was a good activity.
Explanation:
In my physics class, I demonstrated good collaboration by working with others to achieve a common goal. We did a lab about constant velocities, where we were put into groups of 7. In this lab, we had to collaborate in order to collect the data needed and to ensure that it was accurate. We had to work together to figure out who would measure the time at different distances, and how we would make sure that we all started our stopwatches at the same time. The artifact I chose shows the different jobs we all were given, and how we were successful in getting accurate data.
Community
Community is very important in a social environment. That is why it is one of our core values for our city. To make sure this value is met, we have a community rec centre (pink building) and walking trails along the bottom left of our town. These buildings allow for community engagement and activities for all ages to use and enjoy with other people from their area.
Health
Health is one of the values that we think is needed in a city. Without health, how can people stay safe and healthy physically? Health is the center of life, every part of our lives depends on having good health. This is why the city needs a hospital. The hospital is a green building located in the east of the city near the university we have.
Education
Education is one of the core values of our town, as it is very important to have in a functional society. We showed this by building both a school and a university (the blue and the brown buildings). Both of these buildings are key to gaining an education and increasing your knowledge of the world.
Safety
Safety is the backbone of a community. It is key to keeping the people in our city feeling safe and comfortable in their environment. No one wants to feel unsafe in their own home, so we added a police station to keep everyone secure and happy. This is the black and yellow building with the matching flag on top.
Environment/Nature
Environment and nature are key to an appealing and inviting city. Additives to our city environment and natural elements help improve the quality of air and add nice scenery and views to our city. By adding trees to the tops of our residential buildings and parks and walking trails, we are making a happy and green environment for our citizens.
Symbolic Colors:
Blue: represents peace and happiness, it is found in the school and the sky. Green: represents calmness and hope, it is found in the hospital and the trees in our city.
For this project, we were able to work in a group to evaluate our core values and create a city or town revolving around them. To do this we used the City Creator website. It was simple to use, and we were able to finish our city in a relatively short amount of time. For this project, we had to communicate as a group to divide the work among us and get everything done on time, especially on days when we didn’t have class time. To make sure that we all did an equal amount of work, we all contributed to the design of the town, and we each wrote two sections of the symbolic colours and important values sections. Overall, I was satisfied with how this assignment turned out. It went smoothly, and we didn’t encounter any issues. The only thing that I would do differently if I were to do this assignment again is try another website, as the one we used had limited options for buildings and scenery.
