Facing a Challenge

Correct solution
First attempt

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because there were a lot of steps needed to solve the equation. When doing this problem I had trouble knowing when to FOIL the equation. The mistake I made on my first attempt to solve the problem was that I FOILED when I didn’t need to. I thought that there was more than one term. I realized that I had made a mistake when it looked too complicated for me to solve. I checked the answer key and discover that I did not need to FOIL. I did not need to FOIL because there was only one term. After I identified my mistake using the answer key, I was able to correctly solve the equation. To solve this equation I needed the skills to FOIL, combine like radicals and cancel out the radical. Next time I encounter a difficult problem I will try to read the question carefully and try to identify the difference between multiple terms vs a single term.

Create and Communicate:

While working on this project I grew in my writing and representation skills. This essay made me reflect on the book as well as my writing. I don’t wrote essays often, so this helped me build a writing style that is professional as well as contains my own voice. I was able to represent the book and my own ideas. I could build upon and back up my ideas with evidence from the book. I will use the skills I build from this essay and put it towards my future assignments.

Comprehend and Connect

While doing this assignment I grew in my reading skills. I was able to understand and comprehend the story I was reading to come up with my own ideas about the story. Doing this assignment allowed me to further connect to the story and helped me to show my understanding through writing and images. I could infer the main characters personality by clues in the story. I feel that this showed that I had a good understanding of the story.

Thinking CC – Creative Thinking

I showed creative thinking in this assignment when doing the design of my poster. I had to face a challenge when I had trouble fitting all of my work into one infographic. Most of the pre-made templates do not have enough space for what I was writing. I did not realize I did not have enough room until I was almost done with my infographic. I had to use my creative thinking to re-organize my poster to fit all of my information. I decided to use a different template to fit everything well. While making the poster I got stuck because ideas were not coming to me. To help my flow of ideas I organized my thoughts to generate some ideas and put them on paper. It worked because after I did this I had plenty of ideas. Overall, my infographic allowed me to use creative thinking to design and generate ideas.

Creative Thinking

Poetry-ProjectDownload

In this project, I had to use a lot of creative thinking to write poems. Reading poems about a similar topic helped inspire me while coming up with ideas for my own. Sometimes I took inspiration from things around me and in nature to write my poems. My poems included the 5 senses in them to appeal to the reader and make the connect with the poem more. Researching poems and literary devices really helped me create my own poems. Doing this inspired me and also made me a better poet. When I was writing a poem it didn’t go the way I planned it to because it didn’t rhyme, but that inspired me to change it into something completely different and better. Learning about things that interest me often inspires me. For example, while doing this project I was learning about different literary devices this inspired me to write some of my poems. In conclusion, I use poems to express my creative thinking by getting inspiration.

Critical and Creative Thinking

My Artifact: Paper Quilling Bouquet

I demonstrated creative and critical thinking while doing this project by brainstorming ideas, making a draft and solving problems I faced. When I first started this project I went on Pinterest and made a board of ideas. This helped me brainstorm and create ideas for my own project while also making it unique. Using Pinterest helped me learn how to do different techniques. I formed ideas by making a draft of my project before I started, this helped me make a plan and prevented some problems. I used my critical thinking when I was short one of my colours so I used the paper cutter to make more of the colour I needed. Next time I would improve on time management to make sure I turn in my project on time while having enough time to complete it.
