My Artifact

My Learning

This assignment helped me with organizing my work, which was something that I used to always struggle with. I am a very messy writer, and often have trouble with finding the pieces that I am looking for. However, with this assignment, I was able to organize my work by making a table and then inserting all the notes and information I have on there. This helped me with finding the pieces of information that I needed, without having to go and look for them.

Core Competency Reflection]


An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is the play “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare. In our English class, we’ve explored this classic play. I’ve worked hard to understand the language, themes, and characters in “Macbeth.” It’s been a journey to figure out the old-style English, but as I’ve diddged my self deeper in the world of Shakespeare, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the his style storytelling and the deep messages within his plays.


When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I take a break to help calm myself or create space in my mind to think. I might go for a walk, listen to my favorite music, or just sit quietly for a few minutes. Taking a break is like hitting a reset button for my brain. It helps me relax and clears away the mental clutter. Going outside and feeling the fresh air on my face, or finding a quiet spot to sit, gives my mind a chance to breathe.
