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.

Core Competency Self Assessment

Communication

A core competency that I demonstrated during the breaking stereotypes assignment was communication. ‘I can inquire into and present on topics of interest related to my studies’, I did this by choosing a specific stereotype that has affected me so it’s more valuable and I can relate to more and I researched it. I used a variety of different resources for my work and I quoted a source that relates back to my topic. I chose the stereotype that teenagers have an addiction to their phones/ social media because it interested me and I wanted to learn what made people believe that.  I supported my topic sentence with evidence that was relevant, and I gave suggestions on ways you can help your teen limit their screen time.
