Titration Core-Competency

Titration Flask

Core-Competency Reflection

The Communication Core-Competency was vital towards the success and failures my partner and I faced. This lab was something that would be significantly harder to do alone and require a lot of teamwork. I’d swirl the flask while my partner dropped the base into the acid. I’d monitor any changes alongside letting him know when he’s suppose to stop. Through communication and teamwork, we were able to achieve some epic results. Without communication, there’s no way our titrations could’ve gone well. Our teacher also mentioned that friendships die here, ours was strengthened.

Life Sciences 11 Core Competency Self-Assesment: Communication

I’m unable to rotate the photo

This is a dichotomous button activity that we did in the beginning of the year. This displayed communication in two areas. My partner Harrison and I were able to communicate our ideas to each other and separate the world allowing us to finish the assignment within two work blocks. We were also able to communicate to Ms. Chew our thought process on the assignment and our understanding of classifying different “organisms” or buttons. This was an interesting way to start of the year, but it was an enjoyable assignment. A skill I gained was collaborating with peers as my communication skills haven’t been great the past two years. I hope to be able to grow in communicating my understanding/knowledge of a subject to the teacher.

Core-Competency: Communication (Communicating and Collaborating)

This was one of our most recent partner scripts that we did. Even though there were some mistakes, overall we did very well. This relates to the sub-competency of communicating as my partner is significantly more knowledgeable in Spanish than I am, so I tend to ask questions on meanings to best refresh my mind. While my partner is knowledgeable in Spanish, his grammar can be a bit questionable. Through this we both communicate ideas while also refreshing/learning new things about the Spanish language. In short, he makes the basis of the scripts then I follow along and fix errors like accents or grammatically wrong sentences. Sometimes I also have to simplify sentences as this is only grade 10 Spanish and his ideas are too grand for our grade. A lot of our communication is also collaboration and without these two aspects our script wouldn’t be as good as it was. Now that I think of it, our partnership benefits each other quite well.

Communication: Collaboration In a Group Script

Spanish 10 Script Back-Side

This was the first script that I’d created for my Spanish 10 class. My group consisted of two others, someone I have been friends with for the past five years, and a classmate who I just got to know. But when creating our script it allowed us to all get a view on where we each stand in our knowledge of Spanish. Even though we were at different levels of our knowledge, we all contributed a fair share of info/ideas to create a fun script that we were proud of. I didn’t agree with everything, as some ideas were a bit “outlandish”. I was able to improve my social/collaboration skills by working with someone I hardly knew, but we got along quite well while at the same time realising that I played a bit of a passive role, which I probably have to brush up on and improve my “leadership” skills again. I hadn’t done a group thing in a while. But seeing as we’re writing this in the present and this was the past, I think I’m gaining my leadership skills back.
