Unit Core Competency Self-Assessment

I demonstrated my Thinking skills during my virus project by making a creative skit that involves me talking and going into heavy detail about my virus (rabies). I also had creative ideas like making characters in the skit, in the skit i was a doctor telling the audience about rabies. I also demonstrated my communication skills by collaborating with my group-mates and pitching in ideas while building off of there ideas. We also used our thinking skills by making a 3D model of the virus, having it coloured and labeled out all the important components of the virus.

My Parabola

a=

a shows the compression or expansion of the parabola. it also describes weather the parabola opens upwards (+) or downwards(-). a also changes the value of y.

h=

h tells how many units the vertex shifts horizontally right (+) left (-).

K=

k tells how many units the vertex shifts vertically up(+) down(-)

Give an example from this assignment where you represented the same mathematical idea in three different ways?

I used the same mathematical idea by explaining what k,h and a are for a math equation. Then i explained what my values were for k,h and a and how they affect my problem. Then i created a graph with my parabola and then explained what was happening in my graph and how it was different from the other graph.

Give an example from this assignment where you used mathematical vocabulary to demonstrate your understanding

In this assignment i used math vocabulary like Horizontal and Vertical which described the way my parabola were shifting. I also used words like Compression and expansion which were talking about the parabola.

Give an example from this assignment where you used formatting to share the information in a clear and organized way

I used matching colours for the definitions and i laid it out all neatly on Desmos.

English Language Arts Core Competency Self – Assessment

Communication through a group project

During this project i used my communication skills by collaborating with my group mates and always listening to there ideas to combine with mine. Anytime my group mates asked a question i demonstrated leadership by answering them and guiding them in the right direction. I always ask questions to my group mates to keep them thinking and also to keep us talking so we can have more chemistry while working.

I can take on roles and responsibility in a group by always talking with my group members and always helping them when as they need it.

Our Utopian City: Sun City

Sun City

Values

In building SunCity, we considered what we value most.  We value the modern lifestyle but in a small-town setting, we want a close-knit community where everyone knows each other and where stability and natural growth is present. We have kept it smaller in size so that there is community bond that exists between the residents that live here. We are surrounded by grass and trees and just beyond the town borders are three clean water lakes that provide us with the water that we need. The greenery surrounding us will also help keep our air cleaner. Our town’s core values are all about family. All children, teens, and young adults attend the one school site in town and take part in a variety of extracurricular activities in our entertainment center. This is a fun, supportive community hidden away from the hectic go-getters that live in the city but still identifying with the modern lifestyle that many people enjoy.   

Colors

Green, Yellow, Blue, Pink 

We chose green for one of our main city colors because green reminds us of nature, growth, and the creation of life. We want a lot of greenery bordering our city and so we have planned to have lots of grass, trees, and plants surrounding it.  

We selected pink and yellow as two other main city design colors because yellow is the color of sunshine and happiness and pink represents caring and love. Yellow is a fun, bright, feel-good color and, in this town, the sun is shining almost every day. The people in this town love the sunshine and they look forward to enjoying the sunny days. Pink fits in well with our family driven community.  

We also chose blue as a main color for our town as it represents water and gives us a feeling of calm and relaxation. Water is a crucial part of life and survival and water and sunshine give us growth so having green, blue, pink and yellow as our main town colors show that we want a positive, calm, happy environment for people to live in.   

Communication Reflection  

Me Darian and Luca all worked on this project, and we all did are part. I did the colors and the meaning behind them, and we all worked on the values together. We all worked on the rough draft and developed from there. We all discussed the values and which values were most important for the city. I think our city turned out great. I enjoyed this project and it made me think how hard it would be in real life to make a perfect city.
