Curricular Response

I used the quotation “No president, deficit, or government laws” and used a picture of a bomb and a gun. My picture represented the quotation because when I picture no government and a world with no laws, there would be chaos. No rules surrounding gun control, no crimes with be prosecuted, and citizens will believe they can get away with anything and everything.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Selecting words and creating the meanings behind it was fairly easy for me. However, it was choosing the quotations that was more difficult. I had trouble selecting quotes that i thought would best suit “my land” because i also wasn’t sure which picture to illustrate. Overall, this assignment was straightforward and i enjoyed it. Finding the meanings behind the quotes was fun because i kinda got to create my own and interpret what they actually meant.

Show and Tell Presentation Reflection and Self- Assessment

Curricular Response

I believe my biggest strength in my show and tell presentation was explaining the psychology of nightmares. I have a good understanding of the different sleep stages, when nightmares or sleep walking occurs, and the different theories behind the meaning of our dreams. I enjoyed the show and tell presentation as we could choose any topic we wanted, but something I would do differently next time would be the meanings behind specific dreams. I would like to have had more information about the “most common nightmares” and be able to explain the exact meaning of them, even though its difficult because all dreams/nightmares are different.

Core Competency Self- Assessment

I chose the topic of psychology because i am very interested in it, and i was also learning about the sleep cycle and nightmares around the time of the presentation. I am in AP psychology because for post-secondary that’s what I’m going to study. The reason i chose to do my presentation on nightmares is i knew i wanted to connect the show and tell to psychology, and i decided that researching nightmares would reach the criteria of this fear class.

I had mostly used the notes that i have from my AP psychology class which was really helpful because i knew it was accurate information. I had also researched using different psychology websites for the meaning behind specific nightmares. However, i didnt have to research too much because most of the information I had already known due to studying for psychology exams.

My Writing

Core Competency Reflection

Prompt 1:

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include thoroughly rewatching certain scenes in the movie that happened in the beginning, middle and end of the movie. In this essay, I incorporated different scenes from the movie which supported my thesis in 3 different body paragraphs.

Prompt 2:

 I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is with my prior essay, I received more feedback on my work followed with a lower grade. I improved my own work by trying my best to use the feedback i had received in my last essay and made an effort into changing some mechanical and detail aspects in my writing to receive a better grade.

Prompt 3:

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is rewatching the scenes that i want to add into my writing and taking notes of details and quotes that happened in the film.

Goal:

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by contributing my ideas on the topic. This is one goal that i would like to focus on as i head into my grade 12 year. As i didn’t contribute much in this class this year, i want to work on this because it can benefit both myself and my peers.

Social Psychology Monopoly Assignment Reflection

A core competency I used to complete the Social Psychology Monopoly assignment was Creative Thinking. I used my creative thinking to create each one of my groupings on the monopoly board and also to create my chance cards. I used creative thinking on the chance cards by building off of the example scenarios and developing my own. To create my groupings, I used the notes we were given to section them off. I also assigned each group a specific colour that I believed fit with the definitions of them.

Collaborating and Communication Core Competency

While working on the psychology research assignment I used collaboration and communication in several different ways. My group and I discussed our hypothesis and agreed on one we all believed was fitting, and we all worked collectively by everyone of us equally contributing to our assignment. I also collaborated with the rest of my peers in the class through the survey and getting them to respond to our thought out questions needed for our assignment.

My ground and i used creative thinking to come up with all the aspects in our conversation. We used our creativity to add in our idioms,transitional phrases and the necessary topics to talk about (family, sports, traits,etc).

We also used the core competency collaboration by all working well together and cooperating with each other.

Tomato soup & Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Making and Sharing Reflection

I created a food product, incorporating feedback from self, others, and prototype testing in the process of making the tomato soup my partner and I shared. I took feedback from my partner by asking them if they liked the flavour of the soup or if there is anything extra they’d like to add, and I also incorporated feedback from myself by providing my opinion on the taste. Identify and analyze new design possibilities, including how they or others might build on their concept. I did this while making my grilled cheese by identifying different and new designs for what to put in my sandwich. This was my first time added spinach and salami to my grilled cheese and I absolutely loved it!

Core Competency Reflection

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by incorporating their positive or negative feedback into my work and cooking. I especially value my cooking partners feedback and opinion because we have to get along to be a good cooking duo, and we are eating the same foods so we need to cooperate.

A prompt that I could work on in this class is if my group is not productive, we can establish different roles, consider everyones needs and everyone needs to put in effort.

Communicating

In this assignment I communicated by showing my understanding in my writing by providing evidence and backing up my points by referencing words/notes from the textbook. I communicated my understanding by putting definitions I read into my own words. My strategy for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include reading all the information on a topic and filtering out key terms, and using those key terms to write into my notes. Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposely can be seen in part B, as I relate two paired terms to one another in a easy way for the teacher to read and understand, and once again I provide evidence from the textbook.

Topics/concepts I can offer detailed feedback or analysis include when I show my work on tests, quizzes, worksheets or homework.

Others find my feedback useful when I ask the teacher a question and I say that I don’t understand it, it can be useful to the teacher and I because other kids may be confused too and it helps me to understand what I’m working on.

I remain openminded as I explore viable options or alternatives like when I weigh the options on a multiple choice test, or when the teacher shows me a different way to do a problem then I’m used to.

English 10 Final Reflection

Create and Communicate: What did you learn during this assignment or task and how did you grow in your writing, speaking, or representing skills? 

During this assignment, I grew in my writing by learning how to write a short conflict story. I enjoyed the freedom of being able to write about anything I wanted, as long as it included a type of conflict. I also learned how to represent my learning into my writing by writing a short story, and even though it’s short, making sure it includes all the aspects needed like using the proper punctuation, proof reading and trying to use a variety of word choices.

Core Competency:

A core competency I demonstrated during the “Conflict Scenario” assignment was Creative Thinking. “I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the idea of others”, I showed this by creating my own short story by including two conflicts that we learned about in class. An example when I built off of someone else’s idea was when we were shown the conflict videos, there were videos of the Person vs Nature conflict. Therefore, I built off of that by setting my short story outside, and I added two conflicts rather than just one.
