Curricular Response-

One thing I think I did well in this essay was add evidence from the twon stories I had to read in class. I feel that I did this well because I have included direct quotations from the text into my story to support my ideas. I feel like one thing I could have improved on is pruning my work as I feel like their is some unnecessary narration in my writting. I feel like I could also improve on my choice of words because I feel like my writing sounds a bit generic. I could include more powerful words next time to help my writing sound stronger.

Core Competency Self Reflection-

I feel that writing for me is some what easy and hard because I feel like my writing strategies are not fully developed yet. For me pruning was a bit difficult as my word selections were already very basic and generic. Personally I prefer story writing or journaling as I do not really need to follow a specific format. I do not write outside of school as a hobby as I am quite busy and do not really enjoy writing. I will continue to practice my writing in my day to day life and in my post secondary career.

This is a 100% handmade skirt I have created in textiles class and at home. ( I still have to finish up some embelishments on it)

I feel that I have shared Personal and Social skills as I included my old crochet skills with my new hand sewing skills to create something that I really like. I have learnt how to take the time to stitch by hand as well as learn how to cut out my own design on fabric. This was a huge stretch for me as I had to accept myself to make mistakes and I also learnt how to have more patience with myself while in the learning process. I do not think I would do anything different as I am very proud of my results with this project. I would love to continue to push myself by making my crazy ideas come to life like this outfit. I also would love to just go for new ideas and skills without hesitation so to achieve this I will try to practice my sewing journey more and learn from my mistakes instead of seeing them as a bad thing.

The core competency I feel that I reflected was creative thinking. I feel that I reflected this throughout my design as I had to choose many different design aspects to create a well-made graphic hoodie. For an example I made a creative decision on where to place my designs on the hoodie and what colours to use. I also thought it would be cool to add my social media accounts and contact information to the hoodie along with my logo for better advisement and networking purposes.

An example of where I took a significant risk in my thinking or the expected process was when I made my astronamy research project. I did not have criteria for this asignment so I really had to trust my intincts and take risks by coming up with questions for myself to research about. When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I took a five minuet break to reset my brain and let myself get back to work with a fresh set of eyes to advance the development of my ideas. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is when I talked to my peers and teacher about the topic I had to reserach for my project. I was able to build off of pthers ideas as well as my own ideas with a bit of google background research.

My Reflection

The Writting Process

What was easy for me was learning the format I had to write in for each story. One diffiulty I faced learning how to add quotes into my writting pieces. I overcame this challange by practicing this task throught the course. What suprised me is how well I am doing in this class as I felt I did not have a full understanding of what to do in this course. I enjoyed the fact that our class got the choice to write about stuff we are passionate about. One thing I did not enjoy was uploading the photos for our stories as I faced some technical difficulties with this. I feel that this course could help me as I learned how to review and write editorials properly which can be useful when I study fashion journalist.

Core Competency Reflection

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by thanking them for doing my peer edits. When reviewing my peer edit comments I make sure I understand it throughly and ask my peers if I have any questions about their feedback. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is when my class and I brainstromed together. This really helped spark my creativiy or enhance ideas I already had into better ones. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I introduce myself and work in a pleasent matter. I make sure that we both understand each other and make both of us feel like we can share our feedback without judgment. I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I take feedback from my teacher and peers. I always take their feedback with respect and consideration of how it could benefit my learning. One goal I have for myself is to be able to manage a healthy work lifestyle balance. I want to work on the Personal Awareness and Responsibility category. I am choosing to imorove on the “When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…” statment. I am working on this goal as I feel that I tend to get overwhelmed by workloads and deadlines. I will allow myself to take occasional breaks while working when needed and still remain on task after a brain break.

Core Competency:

I used creative thinking to generate new ideas and find ways to form connections with the song lyrics by analyzing words. I have used critical thinking when trying to come up with ideas on how I can present my knowledge in a clear way. Organizational skills were also used during this assignment to help me complete all the needed criteria. Some other skills I feel that I used are Time management and Problem-solving. I used these skills when completing the 3 Artifacts in my assigment as I needed to problem solving skills when i could not find connections within the words from the lyrics. I used Time management to ensure i completed my tasks on time and did not procrastinate too much. The last core competency I used is Personal awareness, I think that I used this by being able to reflect about myself connections when doing this paragraph. I expressed well being when writting and journalling about why I chose my media source.

Knife Skills Reflection

I have leaned that knife skills are actually a very important part of the culinary arts industry. Throught this course I have learned many ways and techniques on how to prepare different cuts. I have realized that knife skills take time and practice to get good at just like anything and I also feel like i have improved over the course time. Knife skills are an essential as it ensures that we are keeping ourselves safe and others when working with such sharp equitment. Throughout the time I have spent in the cafeteria, I would say that I have noticed a significant improvment in my knife skills. I went into this course not knowing any of the basics and thinking that knife skills are just a natural human instict to learning how to use a knife properly as well as how to ensure I do so safely. As I feel like i have the basics down I would still like to continue practicing these skills to gain more confidence in this area and I can not wait to do so in my day to day up coming classes.

I feel like I have expressed my use of this competency by reflecting on this statment. “I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy.
