Social Studies 10 Reflection

Cold War Project

Socials Reflection

Self Reflection

  1. Much I learned about this genocide in less than two weeks and doing a whole project on it.
  2. Knowledge and capabilities skills
  3. Because of how much I enjoyed learning about this genocide and getting to pick my own topic.
  4. That the Rwanda genocide is one of the top 10 deadliest genocides in history and it was listed third in the list.

Core Competency Reflection

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. When I follow the criteria of the project properly and studying the topic before I’m finished.

I can identify my strengths and identify my potential. When I am focus and I can finish all my work in class with no distractions.

I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. When I am stuck on what to write when I’m answering a difficult question, or if I’m curious about a certain topic.

I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. When we are divided in different groups and I listen politely about other people’s opinions and thoughts about the topic we are learning about.

What I can improve on in this course is participating more and asking more questions on subjects that I want to learn more about. My goal for next year is to listen better on class lectures about important topics and how I’ll achieve this goal is by putting all my distractions in my bag and listen carefully.

PHE 10 AH Reflection

My Artifact

Today this morning I feel very tired since this is the last week of school, and its a Monday.

Self-Assessment

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I can think of a couple things. The little things I usually do is, put my phone in my bag, take a couple drinks of water and I start thinking about what I need to focus on. This helps me focus more especially when Im in a more quiet room. Some things of the things I do to stay physically healthy include, getting 2-3 hours of exercise everyday and staying hydrated.

Core Competency Reflection

I work with others to achieve a goal, by including everyone on my team and asking them what they are comfortable with to make everyone feel happy and included.

I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others, when I tell the boys that they should pass to girls and include them in everything.

I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener, to improve my work in different units when I’m not to familiar with it.

I can reflect on my thinking, when I am curious to try different things when I am in PE.

The Simpsons

My Analysis

Creating and Communication

The Simpsons unit for me added more examples and details for when we were learning different types of irony, satire, and allusion. Before we had just learned the meanings of those 3 different types of definitions, but The Simpsons showed us how they used their humour by using allusions, irony, and satire. The literary devices we did in class helped me understand the meaning behind the jokes and humour in the episodes we watched. I expressed my ideas on my essay, by stating the reasons and statements on why The Simpsons is the most successful animated series in U.S tv history. This helped me with my thesis, and expressing more evidence.One of the strategies I used to improve my writing in this essay was thinking back to one of the episodes we watched before, and how it was an allusion because it was referring directly to an 80s movie.

Core Competency Reflection

I can describe how satire, irony and/or allusion relates to (make a connection to another text or show, because of how the Simpsons show their audience the meanings behind stories in the episodes they showed allusions with deeper meanings in comedy.

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is, by not starting my sentences with I think or “I” in general make my rating more interesting.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this, by looking back at our literary devices and using examples in my paragraphs to understand better of how irony, satire, allusions, are used in these episodes and to see the true meaning behind the joke for me to see why its suppose to be funny.

Favourite Recipe

Waffles with berry sauce

Making and Sharing Reflection

I really enjoyed making these waffles with berry sauce because it was one of the fastest labs we’ve ever done. This lab was more calm and slow instead of rushing everything to be done for us to eat in class. the waffles my group made were crispy and golden brown, and I think that’s how their suppose to taste and look like. Me and my group worked really well with us making individual things, everything turned out good I feel like we could’ve made the second sauce that were suppose use for the crepes because everything we made was fast and easy.

Core Competency Reflection

Communication prompts

  • this recipe helped me learned in my group that its better to organize everything before cooking so the lab can go smooth, we talked about who makes what and our jobs after were done eating I made the berry sauce and the two other people made the waffles and crepes.

Collaboration prompts

  • I show others in a group but I truly value their hard work and dedication when it’s a busy lab we all help each other in all different ways, none of us have really been lazy when it comes to cleaning after we’re done cooking I’m cooking and baking.

  • One goal I have for myself going forward in this class is trying new things such as recipes knife skills and participating more
