At the start of the semester I didn’t really have an interest in learning about the Indigenous culture because it was being forced on us, but after a few weeks of being in the class it wasn’t so bad. Indigenous culture is very interesting too. From how they would live their lives to their traditions was really interesting. Learning about the fur trade was also very interesting. The course does change your perspective on the indigenous people and makes you symphasize more with them. I chose critical and reflective thinking. When I wasn’t sure with the work I was doing, I would ask my partner to help me and he would usually help me with what I didn’t understand. I think I can improve my skills by asking for more help from the teacher when I don’t completely understand something. Another thing I could work on is handing some assignments in on time. When developing my answers, I could think of how to construct better sentences because many of my answers were basic. I guess my view has changed on the first Nation a little bit. Not much has changed though, I still feel bad for them, they didn’t deserve what happened to them. I guess hearing more about the reserves and the other things that happened to them makes me feel bad about them.

Circular response

I chose the quotation “there was a big wall that tried to stop me, painted, saying private/public property but on the back it said nothing”

I chose this quote because a sign is just a sign, it can’t actually stop you from trespassing into another person’s property. I drew a picture of one person in front of the sign and one person behind the sign saying it says nothing and that they could pass to show it doesn’t matter if you pass or not. Use

Core Competency Self-Assessment

This assignment was different from the other assignments because it was about a sensitive subject. I tried to be understanding when writing down these quotes so that I could get a good grade. Coming up with the signs or symbols was the hardest thing to do because I wasn’t sure what to draw literal and figurative. I had to do some thinking and stay a little bit in flex to complete the assignment so that it was perfect. This assignment helped me learn more about how first nations people were treated.

Fruit Crisps

Making and Sharing Reflection

The fruit crisps turned out to be very exquisite. The nice crispy apple smell made me want to devour this dish in seconds. Putting the apples and berries on the bottom and the oats on the top leave for an intriguing dish. Once you dig in for that first bite you can see the beautiful colors at the bottom of the dish. I shared this lovely dish with my good friend Devon and he thought it was a very flavorful dish for early mornings on the weekend. My other group mates Daniel and Richard thought it was good but the berry flavor was a little overpowering but overall they thought it was a decent dish.

Core Competency Reflection

This dish intellectually helped me understand how to not burn the oats and how to properly cook them without burning them. This helped me personally by showing me things like mixing oats and brown sugar, I never would have thought to do that by myself. It helped me communicate with my group member on a better level because it was just me and him that came in to make the recipe that day. Overall it helped me learn new things and helped me with communication.
