Curricular Reflection

My career of choice is to become an oceanographer, with my goals being discovering new species, organisms, or biomes within the ocean floors. The ocean covers up 70.8% of the Earth’s surface, and only around 5% has been explored. It is said approximately 242,000 different species are in the ocean, and overall, the ocean is filled with unknown, and risks. My first plan into achieving my career path will be gaining micro-experiences, whether from interacting with experts, volunteering or participating with projects, etc. Doing such allows me to get more information on the job and get to know about it earlier on. More initial planning include taking the oceanography course as my major in post-secondary, make researches myself, and more.

Core Competency Reflection

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. I chose this because I am capable and often show my enthusiasm within my chosen occupation. I feel joy towards working my goal.

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. I chose this because I find different ways to understand information given and I am able to share what I found. I chose a topic of my interest and researched different topics within to share the best information and with enthusiasm.

I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. I chose this because I can ask questions towards experts, or teachers to gather information. I often ask questions or bring up debates to gather thoughts, and get more information for my own research and understandings.

I can reflect on my thinking. I chose this because I often use information I found online to support my thinking, and determine the wrong or right of my thinking.

I find it easy to be part of a group. This is a goal I am working on going forward. I’m not able to fully share my thoughts or opinions in a group, often due to many reasons. This is an essential skill for my occupation as I’d need to work with many people in different areas, as well as share my information discovered to many. I plan on trying to open up in groups, whether it’s friends or strangers, and start debates or conversations going forwards to achieve this skill.

Questions

A) The use of AI allowed me to explore and get results where many useful information is shown, and explained in understandable phrases. It gave me a lot of unexpected and useful based on whatever I asked. Sometimes it could be off-task, but it’s overall a helpful tool when finding something difficult.

B) I rephrased, and double checked everything the AI gave me, as it could have errors on certain things. Sometimes the AI uses certain words that is hard to understand, I try to simplify whenever that happens, allowing me, and many to understand easier.

C) I agree with my position of this project. I do agree violence is needed and justified during a revolution or protest, as without it, taking overall control of the crowd would be extremely difficult. Violence makes many vulnerable for a certain time, which is a good timing to take over.

Core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this project. I spend lots of time researching and fact-checking my information given, then make judgements, and opinions based on them. As demonstrated, I don’t copy the exact wordings of the AI, instead simplifying, shortening and rephrasing them to a good point for me to understand.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to constantly send reminders. When paired with friends, I get off-task quite often, although I’d realize after a bit then send out reminders to myself, and my friend, getting back on track. Lots of communication is required for this project, which means if off-task, could waste many time and chances.

Core Competencies

I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. I often ask my friends about things I could add or change in order to make my story more interesting. I’d ask for their thoughts on the plot, and just the story overall.

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I gather ideas from peers and myself, and use them to create new parts of the story.

Communication

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.

Curricular Response

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.

My Advertisement

Persuasion Project Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion Project Unit Reflection

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.
