IDS Inquiry Reflection

  1. Include your answers to the following questions in your reflection: 
  1. What is your Inquiry Question? Has the focus of your inquiry shifted or changed since you wrote your Personal Learning Plan? Explain. 

My focus for my Inquiry Question has not changed since I wrote my Personal Learning Plan. To be completely honest, I have not worked on my IDS project over the past months.  

  1. How is your time management? Are you using CENT time weekly to work on your Inquiry, or are you finding other time during the week? 

During CENT time, I do not work on my IDS. I usually find myself working on my other assignments from my other classes. I don’t find any other times during the week to work on my IDS.  

  1. What resources (people, websites, apps, videos, etc.) have been most helpful? 

Once again, since I have not been working on my IDS for a long time, I have not been able to see which resources have been most helpful, but from the progress I’ve made so far, the “HISTORY” website has been most helpful, giving me all the information, I need. 

  1. What challenges are you currently facing with your Inquiry? What challenges have you overcome? 

Some challenges I am facing with my Inquiry is the fact that I am not setting aside any time to work on my IDS. I hope to overcome this challenge.  

  1. Describe your growth of a Core Competency through this inquiry process. 

My growths in a Core Competency have not grown through this inquiry process, since I have not been working on the project.  

  1. How will you share what you have been learning, creating or planning in this Inquiry? Are you on track to share your learning by the end of May or early June? 

I hope to complete my IDS project and share it through a PowerPoint presentation. I may be on track to share my learning by early June.  

  1. Will you continue working on this Inquiry, or parts of it, for your Capstone next year? 

I may think about working on this Inquiry for my Capstone next year. This way, I am able to continue my learning and treat it in a more serious manner.  

Social Studies 11 Mid-Term Assessment

Communication

Curricular Competency – Inquiry

Throughout this project, I was able to demonstrate my abilities to research and gather pieces of information to something that makes sense. Some of my strengths were being able to organize my data and have them straight-forward and on topic. However, some of my weaknesses were not using as many sources, as it is necessary to have the right resources and the correct information. Although I did not use many resources, I am sure that I was able to complete my project with a high level of accuracy.

Core Competency – Communication

Since this project was a group project, it was crucial that everyone worked together so that a complete, on time and accurate project was handed in. My communication skills was great during this project, making sure that my group members were on task, that they knew their roles in the project and that they were balancing their roles with other classes were some of the responsibilities that I had during this project. I believe that my leadership and communications skills helped tremendously towards the project.
