Curricular Competency Reflection

the two traits in the baby lab that involved more then 2 genes were skin and eye colour. When more genes are involved, like in skin color or height, there is more variation because each gene adds to the trait’s expression. This results in a wider range of phenotypes.

I think a trait I wouldn’t want my baby to have is a connected brow or a larger nose because I won’t want these traits to potentially impact my baby’s self esteem to how others may see her. I think these biases and prejudices can be influenced by social media and societal standards.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I like to listen to music. when I’m feeling down I tend to listen to my hype playlist to uplift me. Sometimes I would play some calming music to get myself into the right mindset.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are acknowledging and valuing other peoples feelings. Showing that I care about what they’re going through and respecting their emotions. Building trust by being there for the, and understanding where they’re coming from.

Because I know my mood can have a negative impact on the people around me, I make sure that I check myself and try and stay positive to reduce any problems. it important to be mindful of how my emotions can influence time around me.

I’ve enjoyed being able to discover new interests, being able to be part of a team, meet new people and learn new things. my stretches are being punctual, getting first block on time and prioritizing work, handing things in on time.

Breakfast Hash

Making and Sharing Reflection

The breakfast hash is one of my favorite recipe. I made mine with bacon, yams, peppers brussel sprouts, onions, egg, cheese and seasoning to finish it off. In order to make this we had to fill our recipe out. Talking to our partners to figure out what we vegetables we wanted and how to make it. First we put our pan on the stove on medium low heat. We washed, diced, and sliced all our ingredients. Sautéing all our vegetables until it was tender. We seasoned them to our liking, crack an egg in the center, added cheese on top. Afrer we talked with our group and we were all ready we put it in the oven. Once the breakfast hash was done we took it out, took some pictures and enjoyed it.

Core Competency Reflection

I know the group is working well together when I hear or see everyone working together, positive energy, saying nice things and everything going smoothly.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask and make sure people know what is suppose to happen if not, I could go over what might of been said, re read the instructions to them and just let them know what’s happening.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I tend to ask questions to get to know them better. Like what sports they play, some hobbies, maybe if we know the same people and just try and start conversations.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to figure out the problem, what may be causing the disagreement and compromising with what’s going on.

Our Movie

Character, Setting and Mood

I learned how to use creative thinking to figure out my characters appearance. I used the details in the book to help me design my avatar. Determining the setting of the story wasn’t to hard. First I found out the area where this scenes took place. For an example if a scene was in the forest, a magical forest with fairies I would chose a mystical looking background for my movie. If the book mentioned the time of day or the weather, I would look for an image that has those properties. To me mood is like the emotion that’s going around the room, the feeling in the atmosphere. the song we picked sounded like romantic yet sad. This story was heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time. Each character had their own story, all intricate and unique. I would recommend this book to teens.

Core Competency Reflection

An example for when I built on someones idea is when we designed the avatars. If i didn’t really know what how or what to make my character look like I would ask my group members what they thought and build off of that. When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I would put on my headphones blast one of my favourite up-beat songs and that usually boosts my mood. If I need to re-focus id give my brain a short break or I would put my self in an quiet workspace so I can focus.

I can find It easy to be part of a group. Working in a group increases productivity, and develops better communication skills. I notice when people feel left out or isolate themselves so I may ask them questions, or invite them to sit next to me to make sure they feel included.

Ethical Judgement on Residential Schools

I statement: I can make an ethical judgment about the treatment of the children in Indian Residential Schools

No, what happened was no way right or fair. The kids were taken away from their families and put into residential schools where they would get stripped of their culture. They would get their hair cut, names changed making them forget their identities, and forced to do chores that might be dangerous. Kids would get beaten, hit, abused, and left in horrible conditions. Some of them would be left to die and buried in unmarked graves. Because of all the stuff that happened, I believe that this was not fair.

Reflection

My most important goals for this year are to get proficiency as majority on my marks and to make it to team Canada this year. I must be sure to commit to these goals if I want to accomplish them. Even if I want to play games and hang out with my friends, I need to prioritize what’s important. If I want to earn the majority of my grades proficiency I must set aside time for work, do all of my assignments, and try my best on each one. I must attend every training for gymnastics and give it my all. Competing successfully and not letting my anxiety get to me. Having a good mindset and being confident in myself.
