My comic strip was my friend and I talking. I was going on a trip for a while and booked plane tickets for the way back, exciting my friend. Some core competencies that I feel that I represented while creating this project are “I work with others to achieve a goal”, “I can form new ideas to create new things as well as build off ideas from others”, “I use strategies to help me find peace and sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle”, and “I can reflect on my own thinking”.

I can work with others to achieve a goal by floating ideas in the air. In class, me and my friend helped each other get a good start on our projects by floating ideas around for each other’s scripts making a strong outline for the two of us to individually build off of. Even though it was not a partnered project, we were both having some trouble getting started and it was much easier to give ideas to each other than thinking of our own at the time.

I can form new ideas to create new things as well as build off ideas from others by working with my friends in a similar to the way I achieved a goal with others. I build off of my friend’s idea to give my script some more detail and more of a creative kick to it.

I use strategies to help me find peace and sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle like creating a schedule. The day after this project got assigned to me I was supposed to be out of school for a week for a competition and with all of my other classes it would have been a struggle trying to find time to layout and colour this project. I created a schedule and used as much of my time wisely by coming into flex time and getting most of this project done so I could finish it when I got home before having to leave for Calgary.

I can reflect on my own thinking by self-editing and making sure my grammar is correct. I reflected on my work and brought my draft into flex to get it edited making sure I got the best grade possible.
