I learned about many Indigenous stereotypes and how Disney turned the story into a romance rather than real life which builds up stereotypes that are offensive toward the Indigenous community. In general, my reading and writing improved during the duration of this essay because I had to find sources, take valid information from the text, and blend quotes into my essay.
Core Competencies Reflection
I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.
I had to write out a plan and then a draft for this essay and had to make sure it all flowed and had a paragraph about the similarities and one for differences. I planned everything out so that it would be easier to write and understand.
Learning about the pig’s organs and where they are
Communication
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share: Kirsten and I would take turns cutting the pig and drying up the pig juices, we split the roles and responsibilities between the two of us and made sure that everything was done in an efficient and orderly fashion.
Personal and Social
I can participate in classroom or group activities that improve the class, school, or community: We got the chance to experience this amazing learning opportunity which let us learn about the parts of the digestive system and actually having a physical representation we could examine, which I participated in and I felt that it gave the class a better understanding of the unit therefore improving the class
Thinking
I can give, receive and act on feedback to progress in my goals: While working on this dissection I would ask questions and learn from mistakes I made to make sure that it was done correctly the next time whether that was how deep to cut or which way you should cut it to make sure it doesn’t squirt intestinal juices on you.
