My Artifact

Curricular Competencies Reflection

For my Artifact, I decided to choose the character infographic I made. I would put myself into the comprehend and Connect category. During the character assignment and lessons, I learned how to analyze characteristics such as speech, emotions, thoughts and more. In my infographic, I took a character from a story, “The Mountain Legend,” and analyzed the characteristics of the main character named Jason. I learned lots on characters and can demonstrate and show elements of characteristics on my own. I am proud of the effort I put into making the Infographic as well as the learning and engaging efforts I took to be able to make character analyzation on my own.

Core Competencies Reflection

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. 

During this assignment, I expanded in the Thinking category for core competencies. This assignment had lots to do with reading and thinking about texts to analyze characteristics of Jason. To analyze Jason, I read text and used some of his actions and words for evidence to decide his characteristics. I also had to think about the infographic theme to shape the character and story. Because the story setting is in a campground, I used the sticker tool to make a small camp scene on the bottom of my infographic.

Purpose

We were put into groups to create our own linear system and show how to solve the solution using algebra and graphing.

Curricular response

My group chose a solution randomly first before graphing the lines. We graphed 2 positive horizonal lines based off were we put the solution. When choosing the where the lines when, we made sure it went through the solution and the Y Intercept was a whole number. When finding the solution algebraically, we first had to find both equations of the line. When choosing which method to use, we started with addition but struggled with the fractions. Therefore, we changed to substitution method which was a much easier option since we could see Y was already isolated. Our first step was to get rid of the brackets. When we solved for X and Y, we made sure it was the same solution as our graph.

Core competency self-assessment

I find it easy to be part of a group, because its easy to work with people who are at the same level of understanding with me. I like how in this assignment everyone worked together and we could ask each other for other opinions and ideas. I participate in class room activities that improves the class, I fully contributed into this project, giving my thought and ideas while also listening to others. I recognize different part of views and can disagree respectfully. I was able to listen to people give ideas, yet I was able to explain why they were wrong.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I like to be able to take brain breaks and possibly focus on something new.

When I make mistakes, I don’t beat myself up. Instead I learn from my mistakes and apply them for next time.

I can prevent some school-related stress by refocusing on something calming, like listening to music or exercise.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include taking breaks from stressful things, good rest and nutrition.
