-what are the risks?

-what are the effects on people and/or environment?

-how are hurricanes prevented?

-how do people prepare for hurricanes?

-what are some real life examples of hurricanes?

-what are the hazards and safety for hurricanes?

-where are hurricanes located?

What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?

When doing this project a used word, YouTube and google.

What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?

I used valid websites like NASA

How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?

I could have put the picture around the project not just in one place on the paper.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… listen to music or just take a few minutes to calm down and re-focus. Music grounds me and makes the unnecessary thoughts vanish.

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is… I learned a lot about hurricanes. I find natural disasters very intriguing, and I spent lots of time expanding my knowledge on the cause, process, and effects of hurricanes.

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is… When I’m feeling stuck, I gain motivation and encouragement through seeing other people’s creations. Pinterest is a good site for me to gain inspiration from others ideas.

Creative Thinking

The project I chose to write about is the housing project. In this project I had to use my creative thinking skills in many different ways. First of all, I had to choose and evaluate a specific area to build my building. Then, I had to come up with a cost for rent. After that I had to design my building. This involved size of building, number of units, number of floors, number of bedrooms, etc. Finally, I had to create and draw my building from the outside. I used ibis paint X to draw my building plans.

In this project I excelled in my drawing skills and evaluation skills. My drawing is very neat, precise, colourful, etc. My evaluation skills were used to assess the area I planned to build my building.

I could have improved in my creative ideas. I could have added more detail and information about my building.
