My Artefact; Happiness Podcast

Curricular Competency Reflection

When coming up with a script for my podcast, I had to make sure it was entertaining for an audience. I wanted the script to come from heart and share my own experiences with happiness. I’m proud of how much I wrote and honestly could have kept talking about it because I choose something of interest. I learned a lot about happiness through the resources I used and connecting it to my own experiences.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in my podcast. I used evidence from an article we read in class to further talk about happiness.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are making sure its something people would want to hear and not doing into deep detail without it being boring or irrelevant.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. I can analyze the song I chose and its lyrics to discuss how it relates to depression.

I consider more than one way to proceed in an investigation. It is possible for the song to have other lyrics that resonate with another mental health disorder. Or the lyrics i’ve chosen can also be symptoms or signs of another mental health disorder.

I can tell the difference between facts and opinions. The written symptoms of depression are facts which can be found in the psychology text book. Reading and analyzing the song and giving my personal opinion with background knowledge to help express ideas on depression within the song.

My Poem

Curricular Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the poem I chose to Recite. This poem has a deep connection with how trees and nature are being destroyed and future generations wont be able to see much of the natural world.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is tone mapping with other people from my class. I got to hear how they would read my poem to help choose a tone to read it in.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are learning different tones and how to find them in a poem. I’ve got to practice finding tone and mood in class which prepared me for reciting my poem.

Research Assignment Reflection

In communication and collaboration I chose, “I encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives” as my core competency. This is because my group and I made a survey for students to see if distractions decrease class engagement. We encouraged students to answer our questions to their fullest truth. I respect all of the diverse answers shared in the survey to make a final conclusion with my group.
