Core Competency Goals

Leave a comment

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…

I know when I need to take breaks from working or when I need to rest. I also know when I need to take more time to do things that make me happy. When things get busy, I can step back and talk about things with my friends, play soccer, or get some sleep. By doing these things I can get back to doing what I need to do.

I am planning to improve my communication skills. I find it difficult to ask questions in class due to the fear of being wrong or judged. I will get over this challenge by getting myself involved in more activities that require me to be social such as peer tutoring and leadership. 

 
I am going to manage my time better. I sometimes find it difficult to get myself to start the assignments and procrastinate. I am going to try to find the motivation to study by asking friends to study together. That way, we will be able to help each other stay on task.

Protest Project

Socials Reflection

What skills of yours does this showcase? This project showed my creativity and my organization
What Core Competency does this fill? “I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals.”
Why did you choose this? I chose this because I feel like it is a good example of my personality and me as a person.
What did you learn during this project? I learned how to express my thoughts and explain what I think is important.

Core Competency Reflection

I can work to inform myself about issues surrounding me. I did research and was able to understand people’s opinions on this situation.
I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others. For this project, I chose to show how later starts and fewer school days impact the health of teenagers, I showed that with more sleep and less stress, students do better in class.
I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. I asked people how they would approach this issue and used that information to make an educated decision.
I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I had people explain their thoughts on the 4 days school week and took it into consideration while doing this project

A goal I have for myself is working on being more self-sufficient and independent. “I can apply constructive strategies to navigate misunderstandings and conflicts.” I want to work towards this core competency because I’ve noticed I don’t handle situations like that in the best ways.

Lab 2D


Critical and Reflective Thinking
In this assignment, I showed that I could act on feedback while trying to complete it. It showed my perseverance and how I learned to show all my work. I came in for tutorial and asked questions and made sure I fully understood the assignment. I would work on how I went about answering the questions last time, I would improve how I layed it out and make sure I have all my calculations added.

My Model Town

Leave a comment

Creating a model factory town

Name of the town: Riverside

Company Name: Sunny Coasts

Resources available: Food, Water, Textiles and building supplies

Elements of the town: Paths, Roads, housing, Near a river and ocean, Fertile soil

Population: 3000

Explanation / Brief History: Riverside was first populated in 1722 when they discovered the rivers as easy access to move supplies. The soil was good for growing crops, so they have a steady food supply. People are mostly farmers

Media Fluency Reflection

  • How was the ease of access in building the town, and what software did you use specifically?

I used roll for fantasy, it was very easy to use. I did have a little bit of trouble with the overlapping of the bricks, but it worked out in the end

  • Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment? 

Yes, I was I planned everything out first then I added it in I made sure that everything had a place                                                                                     

  • What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” town?

Ms. Mattson showed us pictures of what these towns usually looked like so I went back and looked at how they were laid out and built

  • Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Explain.

There probably is, it was a little tricky when I was trying to place/delete blocks and line everything up especially with rotating the blocks as it would not load properly on my laptop.

My Favourite Website

https://www.spotify.com/

Spotify is my favorite website because it lets you listen to all these different songs and podcasts. Whether it’s listening to music while taking my dog for a walk, or listening to a podcast while I fall asleep, it always helps me relax and makes me happy. It’s easy to use and you can listen to any song.

My Favourite video

This is a link to a guy hitting a bird while on a roller coaster. I love this video because at first, he doesn’t know what happened, the bird hit him in the face and then went onto his neck, he felt down to his neck then felt the bird looked down and the bird attempted to fly away and ended up hitting his friend on the shoulder. Whenever I’m sad then I watch this video and I always smile and laugh it shows that even though he got hit by a bird it was still a good time.

My Favourite Picture

Sunshine Coast 2020

This is a picture I took earlier this year at the sunshine coast. I went down to the water to watch the sunset, and since the clouds were in a weird pattern it made the picture look really cool while the sun was setting. You can see the reflection of the sun and a few of the islands in the water.
