French 12 Cooking Show

While working on my cooking show, I showed use of the thinking core competency, specifically creative thinking. When working with my group we used creative thinking together to come up with ideas of what to cook. Each of us made suggestions on what to cook, Korean food for example, and we built upon each others suggestions to decide our dish, Gimbap. When writing the script for our show I made sure to use my creative thinking skills to make the dialogue entertaining and funny at some times. I also included some French idiomatic expressions like “Va te faire un œuf ” which indirectly translates to “Mind your own business,” and “C’est du gâteau” meaning “Its a peace of cake.” I did all the editing for the video so I was able to use a lot of creative thinking while working on it. I added fun background music, transitions, and an intro and outro. I also had to learn how to add voiceovers to the program I was using so I used some creative thinking to figure that out. I am very proud of our cooking video and I believe that it shows the amount of work and thought put into it.

My Paper Quilling Project of a Tree

While working on my paper quilling project, I showed multiple creative thinking skills.

“I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others.” To start off my project, I researched ideas on Pinterest and formed a plan using those images as inspiration. I drew out the plan on paper and coloured it in with various greens. I included more shapes in my design than the inspiration photo to fit the project criteria. I also added personal touches by using multiple different colors, and shades of green and yellow.

“I can develop a body of creative work over time” As I worked on my quilling project, I made slight changes to it and it was constantly being improved. I added more tight coils in between the branches because the tree looked too empty, or I made the flowers smaller to fit the space I had. The biggest change I made while working on the project was that I filled in the tree branches and trunk with more quilled paper. In my plan I was going to make it a solid black silhouette but, I prefer the quilled bark pattern I went with. This change also helped me learn and practice a different quilling technique.
