Collaboration is a big part of Chemistry 11, it is used very often whether it is in class on some problems or in the lab on a project. Good collaboration skills allow you to help and be helped by a partner and/or peers.

Titration Lab

This Titration Lab is a great example of collaboration, it involved carefully measuring solutions and using precise techniques to get a good final product. My partner and I collaborated on observing the reaction and getting measurements. We also discussed possible sources of error and came up with some good base ideas that we could build off of individually.

Chemistry 11 is a course that heavily relies on and includes collaboration as you are nearly always with a partner during labs and work together very often during classroom time.

Brave New World

The Writing Process

Brave New World was a very interesting voook yo read. It opened up many thoughts for me and really made me think on what is more important: Truth or happinrss. The book is in a setting where happiness is far more valued qnd that allows us to visualize that kind of world because in our world truth is more valued compared to Aldous Huxleys’ Brave New World. It took some time to read the book and to find quotes. Those were the most challenging aspects of the process. In order to overcome them I just took some time and pushed through it. I enjoyed the part where Bernard brought John out and made the director resign out of out of embarrassment and shame.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the fact that I wrote and presented a book response in front of the class.

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is imagining the world and scene that the book describes to get a better picture of the characters situation.

I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I thought of which is more valuable, happiness or truth.

One thing I want to work on for next time is to show others that I truly value their contributions by asking for their feedback and thanking them.

Communication and Collaboration

This photo represents my ability to communicate and collaborate because during this group project, we needed to communicate effectively to ensure accurate results. We counted down 3, 2, 1, go to make sure everyone started walking/running at the same time that the timers started their timers. After collecting the data, we all met up where we collaborated and discussed the different data points that we gathered from the activities. We all did our fair share of the work contributing mostly equally. We worked together to achieve a goal and did so without problems.
