Communication and Thinking Skills

• For this project, I started by gathering information by researching thoroughly. I used materials that were provided , such as pdfs and notes, along with browsing the interent for more information to expand my research. I organized my ideas/thoughts in a chart then transfered my information on Canva, presented in a poster. One of the struggles I faced while creating this project was figuring out how to fit a lot of text and image while making it look cohsive and appealing. I overcame this by taking a couple of steps back and reimagining my ideas. It took a long time for me to make a design I was satistfied with. An area for growth would be comprehending information to distinguish the immediate, underlying, and long-term cause and consequences. In the end, I was able to present information and ideas in an oragnized way.

• Throughout the first term, I worked in many different groups to achieve a common goal. I collaborated with my group members to summarize ideas and project these ideas in our work. I can take on roles and resposnibilites in the group. I support my peers by listening to their ideas attentively and respectfully. I can commuicate with the in a disagreemetn by giving constructive feedback. I can also recieve and act on feedbacks that are directed to me. However something I need to work on is identifying criteria that I can use to analyze evidence and experimenting different ways of doing things. I can work on this by figuring out if the evidencce is supporting my idea and if the evidence is related to what I’m trying to understand.
