I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. During science, I’d actively listen to the speaker, reflect, and share my thoughts on the same topic. I’ll phrase words and sentences to make them easier to understand. If it’s something I don’t understand, I’m able to ask peers and/or translate to make it easier for me to understand. Sometimes before sharing my information, I’ll gather everything, organize them, then share them in a clear way.
Artifact
We gathered tons of batteries and combined them into a series circuit.
Explanation
I’d share my thoughts on what we could change and test different amount of lights to test brightness. Through this activity, I gained skills such as ways to make a circuit, using different materials and identifying whether they’re insulators or conductors. After that activity, I’m able to put together many parts into a series circuit, and drawing the layout. I need to improve on identifying insulators and conductors, I’d say it’s the hardest part to me.
This slide represents a lot of the expectations from what I see. The background includes a sketch of the kraken taking down a boat, although since it’s a myth, a lot of things could be inaccurate. I chose a font that goes along with this “mysterious” theme and background image. The color, font, and size all match perfectly together. Making this title page interesting.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
There wasn’t that much challenges that I faced. Although, one main challenge is the reliability of the sources. The Kraken is a mythological creature, besides possible real sightings, it’s probably all rumors being spread around. In order to overcome that, I went on multiple different sites, and picked out the ones that were mentioned the most and the ones that I believe is true with my own knowledge on mythological creatures. The features and information I picked out all seem to fit and make sense.
Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
You’ll be able to get a better understanding of the advertisement itself, as well as how it works and all the different aspects. You can see currency distribution from the advertisement, who gets most, who gets least, etc.
· Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional
Emotional persuasion could be really appealing if done well. Emotions is really popular and has a wide range of people that could be affected by it. It drags people in a lot depending on the word and image used, maybe even the implicit meaning. A good emotional advertisement will hit directly in the spot.
· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.
Testimonial I’d say would be one of the most effective ways. Using Famous person, makes your product known from all around the world, increasing sales. For example, if Michael Jordan sponsored a product, people that like him would almost instantly place offers, as well as spread around the news, making more people buy it.
Core Competency Reflection
One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to…
I’d always give everyone ideas on what they should do. Me and my partner both work on different slides, different designs, etc. Making the process significantly faster and nicer. After working on everything, we look back and double check grammar, punctuation, etc.
Some things I thought about when dividing tasks among my group members was…
I thought about if they’d actually spend time doing it and putting it effort. I’ve had group members that don’t do anything or don’t put effort at all during projects. Although things in this project turned out really well. All the slides were done right with effort, also phrased properly.
This is how I selected images and words to create impact for my planned audience:
I shared with my group my thoughts and asked for theirs, then gathered the best ideas and put them into the advertisement. We tried using interesting and eye appealing words. For the image, we all took photos and used the best, we tried matching the words with the image to make it more appealing.
School in Japan really differs from Canada. There’s tons of many different aspects that we’re able to compare. From the information I’ve seen, majority of society in Japan tend to walk to school, no matter their age, or time, or your personality. I find that really surprising since there could be all kinds of dangers that could occur, as well as possible kidnap. Japan’s kids are more independent compared to Canada, at school, they do most things by themselves. I don’t see any obvious things that our school should be doing, many things are different, but every school and country have their own ways. My luck with じゃんけん is the worst, I could rarely win, so I’m glad we don’t have any contests related to じゃんけん.
The Japanese Spiderman is a really interesting yet confusing show to watch. The title of it really grabs the interest from marvel fans. I was super excited to watch at first, although that feeling slowly faded away as I got deeper. I understand that it’s an old show, filmed in 1978, although the results were just kind of disappointing. There’s no plot, and it’s really difficult for audiences to actually understand what is happening. Many events happening at the same time, random character dying, etc. Western Spiderman has much better plot, effects, and I’m able to understand the current situation. I don’t think they put a lot of effort when filming the movie. I probably wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone since it’s pretty much a waste of time. It’s only worth watching if you have nothing else to watch and you’re a big marvel fan.
I chose Akaei (Manta Ray/Stingray) as my yokai because it still stood up to me with it’s basic appearance. I also believe there’s little-none other Akaeis in the class or in the school, which makes it pretty unique. Akaei are titanic fishes that live in the Pacific Ocean. They spend most of their times at the ocean floor. Every now and then they’d swim to the surface to shake off the collection of sand and rocks on their back. Although Akaei can reach 10-12km in body length, meaning the action of shaking off rocks and sand will cause maelstroms because of the fish’s large mass. The origin, backstory, and description of the Akaei comes from Ehon Hyakumonogatari, a book full with strange tales and yokais, published in 1841. I’d say yokais and western mythical creatures don’t have explicit traits that I can compare for differences. Although I’d say the designs and features of yokais are much more unique rather than western mythical creatures. I don’t believe in any kind of mythical creatures or monsters, but I’m really interested in them. I can’t make opinions proving them real or fake from the discoveries.

Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are keeping connection. Online relationships are quite hard to build, mostly depending on the person. You have no idea what to do with them and if they’re actually a good, trustworthy person or not. The internet is the place where people hide themselves the best, you’ll never know what kind of person they actually are. Maintaining isn’t as hard as building, but it’s still very difficult. In order to maintain, I’d choose to just keep connections often. But before that, it’s necessary to find out what kind of person you’re dealing with.
By doing things like connecting, playing, making positive comments, etc. I make a positive difference to my peers. Nearly everyone likes to have friends that are kind, positive, and playful. They bring tons of positive energy to you. By having a friend like that, it helps with tons of stuff. Self-image, positivity, and much more.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include being aware of the time you spend online, as well as the activity. Digital Footprint isn’t hard to prevent, if all you do is just spending time on social media, not commenting, liking or actually doing anything online, then it can be prevented. It only occurs because of actions you decide to take, whether if it’s bad or good.
More Info
Internet safety and positivity is super important because many websites tend to keep and sometimes track your information. It could be your personal information, address, activities, etc. When you apply for jobs, the company will usually track if you have any negative behaviors online that will affect the company or you. Most of the times, you wouldn’t be able to find a job if you have had an unpleasant history with online stuff. There’s tons of examples of unsafe and negative activities, including things like posting negative stuff on social medias, whether that’s a post/comment or about me/bio, clicking on phishy websites, and typing in your personal information in unofficial, non-trustworthy websites and apps. You never know how people on internets could be like. Many of cases, or accidents usually start online. Societies everywhere contain people with extremely negative thoughts. They could spend days and night trying to track information about someone, then causing accidents. Although to stay safe, it isn’t as hard as people think. A very simple step is to take breaks from social medias. It’s very efficient compared to it’s difficulty to do, if done right. It’s nearly impossible for you to get tracked online due to the inactivity you’ve shown, people wouldn’t find you interesting. Other ways to keep yourself safe is avoid posting anything negative on social medias. Even direct messages. All those type of behaviors will be added on to your digital footprint. Leading to unsafe events.
