Curricular Competencies Reflection
Comprehend and connect: This assignment had me view many different First Nations texts, both authentic and non authentic, which allowed me to start to distinguish between the two. Reading and watching over these texts enhanced my ability to comprehend information and make my own conclusions from that information. These skills will be useful in my life as I can start to break down stereotypes in media for myself in an attempt to stop them spreading. This would expose Non Indigenous people’s to our First Nations peoples through a non tainted view, and would hopefully make a difference in the treatment of Indigenous peoples.
Core Competencies Reflection
ThinkingCC: In this assignment I formed my ideas through the outline given to me by Ms. Hothi, it allowed me to put my ideas down as I was exploring texts so I wouldn’t have to try and remember all my ideas later. It helped me format my structure of my essay and gave me a clear view of my topics in my 3 body paragraphs and how to transition between them. I would then generate ideas as I was writing in order to fit in new information or add insight/personal voice to my writing. In future I would also write down quotes as I watched/read texts as it would save me time going looking for them later.
