Core competencies self reflection for Econ

Self-Reflection: Describe how the artifact you selected shows your strengths & growth in specific core competencies. The prompt questions on the left – or other self-assessment activities you may have done – may guide your reflection process.
 The project I picked for my reflection was the stock market project because it was one of the bigger projects I’ve done for marketing, and the core competency I picked is creative thinking because I demonstrated lots of it during this project.I had to critically think in the sense of choosing what stocks I feel would increase and be most profitable and how long they would be profitable for and if they would grow or decrease meaning I’d have to think when was the best time to sell and best time to keep them. I think in the future to develop my critically thinking skills I’d try and do more research beforehand than just pick things that I’d figure would do good. 

Titration

Titration is the most common method used in labs to figure out quantitative chemical analysis in which will determine a concentration of an identified liquid. A reagent is a term used to describe that defines the titrant or titrator. Which is normally prepared as a standard solution of a known concentration and volume.

The titration which was used to show the change in how much of it was needed to change the color of a substance, the titration which was used was10 ml of NaOH.

The endpoint of the titration is the indicator phenolphthalein will be used to show when the number of moles of acid equals the number of moles of base.

The way you know you have reached the endpoint of the titration was when the substance changed color and became purple

The concentration result of HCL was .175 M

Communication:

I used Communication during the titration lab to communicate both better ways of doing things to my group members and directions that may have been missed. For example when nick was pouring the 10 ml of NaOh I told him to get a smaller drop when the color began to change and how to exactly do it. So I used communication as a core proponent during the lab.

Law: Famous Criminal

Debates Artifact:

About this activity

During this activity I had to write a presentation about a famous criminal, I choose Aaron Hernandez a former all American NFL star who was convicted of murdering his wifes sisters husband. I was supposed to make a PowerPoint with pictures to describe Aarons childhood, his adult life and his trial and facts leading up to the point.

Core Competency Reflection

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener.

I ask teachers and peers to get a better understanding of specific aspects after taking in their ideas and reflecting on how these ideas they can be added to and more specifically to my presentation. I took ideas of how to incorporate my way of thinking easier to understand.

I can work with others to achieve goals

I can work with my peers and people around me to understand how to make a plan that works with group members in the way of a time that works for all of us, as well as evenly splitting up work so everyone does their fair share and organizing times to talk/meet to go over the work.

 I can encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives.

I can encourage others in the way of making sure everyone’s thoughts and perspectives on ideas are represented in a way that they believe to be right and if i disagree with their ideas i can convey the disagreement in a polite and understanding way so we can reach an agreement.

I can develop a body of creative work over time.

This is something i struggle with in the way that i normally develop creative work all at once I don’t really add on to my thinking overtime normally just create and develop a creative body of work all at once which is something i can do better if i can add on to it overtime.

Kitchen tools/Appliances

The lab went well and we didnt have much trouble. Good things that happened during the lab were, the pancakes came out the regular size and were edible. Didn’t have any challenges but the pancakes didn’t taste that great. Next time id make a different recipe.

I think one of the most important and useful kitchen tools has got to be the spatula.

The reason I picked the spatula was because its something I use when cooking often.

Its used for flipping things and spreading things.

The spatula only has 2 uses.

Its nickname is “Child Cheater.” According to Bee Wilson, author of Consider the Fork, the soft, rubber kind of spatula used for scraping cake batter was once referred to as a “child cheater” because of its knack for cleaning all traces of batter, thus depriving kids of the finger-licking fun of gobbling what’s left in the bowl. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/food/the-plate/2015/03/27/tools-5-things-you-didnt-know-about-spatulas/#close

Communication

The lab went well. Some things we were good at during the lab is that we communicated and went in with a clear plan which decided who did what.

There wasn’t many challenges during this lab due to it being pretty easy to understand and finish.

Its important to have communication when cooking with others because, if you need something or need help with something all you need to do is ask your partner.
Also communication between the person whos doing the same job as you can be most beneficial because, you can communicate who gets what tools for the lab.

Good communication looks like checking in with your group members and it also can be making a plan with your group on how to do the lab correctly.

No communication during a lab makes the lab harder and more dangerous if you have no one communicating during a lab you wont be the first group to finish and will probably the last. Also when theres no communication accidents can happen and accidents can ruin cooking and can be dangerous for example dropping a knife in the sink to wash and the dw doesn’t see it and cuts themselves.

Ways you can go around the issues above are, by being more careful and using communication.

During the banana muffin lab Avril and I represented communacation in the way of making a plan before we started cooking she said shed pour all of the batter into the muffin tins while I get her the tools she needed, rubber spatula, and the muffin tin.

My Tribute Costume

  1. What is innovative about your visual representation? I think that the clothes a shoulder guards I put on myself is innovative.
  2. How did you generate and develop your ideas while working on this project? I would click on the options and see what ones looked best/ represented me best and I attached them to my character.
  3. What did you enjoy about your visual representation? That hes tall, kinda looks like me, hes strong, and hes wearing a nice looking watch
  4. What would you improve on for next time? I think I would take off the gloves and make his a little bit darker because hes a little to white and kinda looks like a ghost.
  5. What did you learn about your creative ability during this process?  That I suck at art and I cant really visually represent myself super well.
