I chose the poem Chicago, and I chose that poem because I wasn’t finding anything that related to me, but the talks of a city like Chicago caught my eye enough to do it about that. I also did enjoy the style of poetry with it not being in perfect symmetry and having interesting use of words and terminology.
I believe what helped me most for remembering the poem was having another person hold my poem as I read it and help me with a word or two when I get stuck, I do this until there are fewer and fewer mistakes.
the reason the write helped me when I went over to recite my poem is because, it made me have to think harder and deeper and really read over the lines and got a better understanding of what it really helped which effected how my mood would be for certain parts.
Core Competency Reflection
I have valuable ideas to share about… and do so by… making sure I always speak at least once during discussions. I also listen to those in my discussion to add on to at least one other persons thought.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… Like to go to the washroom, take a little walk while I’m out there, I would stop for a drink of water and if they were in my path a friend to talk to for a minute and then head back to class. this gets any jittery energy out (going for walk) it helps feel fresh and clean with good focus (water and bathroom) and can boost my energy (talking to a friend)
I appreciate feedback on… anything I’m doing that I could improve and do better on and prefer it comes in the form of… direct criticism but in a respectful manner, a physical demonstration hands on or not also gives me a better understanding.
