Core competency reflection

Some work habits that worked well for me this semester in Genocide Studies 12 were reviewing the notes that were handed out in class before i go to sleep, i think reviewing what was handed out in class before you go to sleep helps you remember things better as you go to bed thinking about it and when you wake up in the morning you’re more likely to remember what you reviewed the night before.

One way I can use what I learned in this course to make a positive contribution to others is talking about what i have learned, just talking about what i have learned in class can help spread awareness to the genocides that are happening today and will bring light to the problem. i have learned that even if im not in a position to directly help there are other ways to help, like speaking out and spreading awareness.

If I had to give academic advice to students starting out in Grade 9, I would say to review the notes you get in class whenever you can. Reviewing the notes given out can help your understanding of the class as well as help you remember what you’ve learned for a later test or quiz. Asking for help when you need it is also important, there’s nothing embarrassing about asking for help, if you don’t understand something and leave it for a later time you might still not understand it by the time you have a question surrounding it on a test or quiz, it’s better to ask about the things you don’t understand when you don’t understand them.

In GS12, I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in the graphic organizers done in the class. When we have to do graphic organizers, i am able to read through the given articles and decide what category the article falls in.

A goal i have for myself is to provide examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully in GS12, i don’t like to speak out in class because i sometimes don’t follow the conversation as easily as i would like to and when it comes down to asking for our opinions i don’t have any, but in the future i would like to try and participate more and to do this i want to start by talking to others first and ask them questions about different things.

Creative Thinking

My Artifact: Card #2

I chose this card because during this project I was able to communicate with others and get different ideas to help me create this card. The making of this card had lots of thinking go into it as I wanted this card to follow a certain theme so I looked up different things relating to that theme in order to create it. All of the drawing in this card were thought about and placement of each drawing had thought go into it so that the card looks like the theme I wanted, even when I thought about certain drawings going into this project not every drawing worked so I had to erase and re think about the drawings and how much space I had left on the card and I also had to think about the placements of the next drawing I wanted to put.

Core competency

I demonstrated my creative thinking skills doing this project by building on different ideas and merging them together to create one big idea that fits the theme I want. I can persevere over time and take time to develop and think of new ideas that can help me create the image I have in my head. I can expect setbacks and failure but can use those setbacks and failures to retry and think about if this would work or if i want to change a design but still have it fit the theme that I want. An example of where I built off of someone else’s ideas is when I was asking my friend about what else I could add or what I can change and I used there suggestion and built off of it to create a card that fits more of what I wanted.

Core Competency Reflection

I can identify my strengths and limits, find internal motivation, and act on opportunities for self-growth by working on different equations and seeing which ones I find harder to answer. I can find internal motivation by telling myself that its almost done and that I can work on other things once I am done.

Learning the scientific method: Self assessment

this picture shows me and my partners egg drop challenge device

Curricular Response

both challenges improved my understanding in the scientific method because i learned how to to identify problems just by using observations. My partner and i for our egg drop challenge device tried to make a box with a parachute so that the egg inside wouldn’t break but because we didn’t cover the egg properly when we dropped the device the egg ended up breaking . these 2 challenges helped me understand the scientific method more because when we were learning about the challenge we learned more about using experiments to test out a hypothesis. The challenges also taught me more about inductive learning and how to observe problems using observation.

Core Competency Self Assessment and Creative Thinking

Im proud of the egg drop challenge because we both decided on what to do and how we were going to build the device, even though the egg didn’t survive a lot of communication happened between us 2.Using inductive learning to observe problems helped get over some challenges, for example when we realized something we were going to do in our final build wouldn’t work we had to switch that part out and think of something on the spot. I demonstrated that i can create new things when I think about it hard enough or when i take something i’ve already done and then build off of that idea.
