I demonstrated communication and collaboration through a character study poster we did in my English class. For this assignment, we were tasked with analyzing a character from To Kill a Mockingbird in small groups, and then we filled out a poster with all of the information that we found. During this project, I communicated ideas with my partner, I took on roles for completing the assignment and I wrote down all my ideas. This demonstrates communication because I spoke with my partner and was able to share my ideas and also listen to theirs in a respectful way. This also shows collaboration because I was able to take equal responsibility while completing the assignment. I demonstrated the statement “I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener.” I demonstrated this when I was unsure about a certain part of the assignment, so I had a conversation with my partner and gave them my full attention when they were speaking.
This City was designed by Ella, Ashavri, and myself
Nature– living in a city where nature is everywhere would be the best. Having to get out of your house and smell the fresh trees and to breathe the fresh air every day. Wildlife animals wondering around, beautiful scenery and going on a walk through the forest. We showed this is in our, city by placing trees as a forest in the background.
Sense of community/ secure environment – living in a secure environment with a great community would be ideal. Nowhere in this city will there be harm. Leaving your house without fearing anything happening to you. Stress, harm free environment, only happiness in this city.
Relationships– Building a good relationship with the community. The community you live in, is your second family. You rely on one another and support each other which creates a stronger bond and happier environment. We believe that if your relationships within your community will make everything happier. Whether its walking down the street. You can see your neighbours without being complete strangers. In our city, we added some people getting along together.
Adventure– adventure is the one of the many things that can make the world fun.
Happiness– our city everyone is happy and filled with joy. This city represents happiness and all anyone wants to do is just be successful throughout their life. Our city does not give any negative vibes only positive ones.
Kindness– In our city, everyone is there for each other and no one feels left out. Everyone feels safe and not judged for who they are. Our city is a city that anyone would want to live in
Communication Reflection
This project was about working together as a group to come up with a design for our perfect city. Our ideal city would reflect some of our core values which are a sense of community, kindness, relationships, and being surrounded by nature. When we first met as a group, we brainstormed ideas and discussed what values we wanted to showcase in our city. I think we worked pretty well as a group however in the beginning, we had some challenges. We were conflicted as to what program we wanted to use to construct our city, and which values we wanted to incorporate. After a bit of discussion, we chose our values and decided we wanted to design the city using City Creator. My task for this assignment was to digitally create the city keeping in mind my groups values. I found this program pretty easy to use except there was not as many objects to choose from as I would have liked. In the end I was quite satisfied with the final product and I really liked how it turned out. I think if I were to do this assignment again, I would have used a different program. I would have only made this change because there were very limited options, and it did not allow me to make the city as detailed as I would have liked. All things considered I am very proud with how our city turned out and the process that got us there.
