Asking questions

When I was in ceramics class, I made sure to ask which one was the correct glaze before I used it. I feel confident to ask questions to help me get information.

Core Competency Reflection

Strength: Collaborating

When I know that I don’t get something, I do a good job at asking for help from my teachers. A situation where I asked for help was when I was writing my fairy tale assignment for English. I was having trouble with writing out my story so I asked Ms. Quigley to help scribe for me. With her scribing for me, I was able to get the assignment done on time. If I didn’t collaborate with someone to help me, I don’t know if I would have been successful in doing my fairy tale.

Growth: Communication

Collaborating helps me to communicate with people when I need help. I think I need to grow more in this core competency because communication will help me be successful in future assignments when I don’t know something.

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.

Japanese-Canadians Internment Paragraph

Japanese-Canadians should not be put into internment camps because splitting up families and selling of their belongings is awful.  Family is very important and it is evil to break up families based on rumours.  The RCMP has not found any evidence that Japanese people are planning to do bad things to Canadians.  Can you imagine saying goodbye to your family when the men are send to one camp and the women and children are sent to another?  Also, selling off their belongings is not fair because they worked hard to get where they are.  It is already hard for them to get jobs and when they do get jobs they get paid less.  By putting them into internment camps they are also not supporting the economy.  Japanese-Canadians should not be put into Internment camps because it is not necessary to protect Canadians and negatively impacts Japanese people.

It looked like a pie the exploded but the dough was nice and gold brown on the sides and there was a pop of colors from the veggies. The top of the pie felt bumpy and crusty and the filling in the pie was smooth ,creamy and chunky. This is the most challenging lab because there were a lot of steps and we can’t over mix the dough.
