About the Activity

For this assignment, my partner and I were given a list of details of couple that is separating. Then we had to negotiate with each other and decide who would get what from the divorce. This includes the car, the children, the house, etc. We then had to use a website to make a formal separation agreement. During this process we took notes on what we wanted and our tactics on how to better get what we wanted from the divorce.

Core Competency Reflection

1. I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.

For this assignment, sharing information with our partners was crucial. However, it was a matter of what we wanted to share and how much information we should share that determined the outcomes of the project.

2. I can work with others to achieve a goal.

Both my partner and I had to negotiate with each other and work together to come to a conclusion. Simultaneously we had to sort of work against each other in order to “win” the divorce.

3. I can find it easy to be part of a group.

Working with my partner worked quite well. I feel as if our communication with each other and the division between work we both had to do was quite even.

4. I can analyze evidence to make judgements.

We both constantly had to look over our information of what we owned, what debts we had to pay, and how we wanted to divide them in order to come to a “fair” conclusion.

5. I can recognize different points of view and disagree respectfully.

Sometimes it was hard to agree on certain things while making the agreement during this assignment so hope to work on this more in future projects.

About the Activity

For this project, we had to develop our own legal code to keep order on an imaginary island. We had to use our knowledge of legal codes from the past, and knowledge of Canada’s legal system to help us. Then we had to reflect and compare/contrast it with the current Canadian legal system, as well as 2 of the legal codes we covered in class and highlight our strengths and weaknesses.

Core Competency Reflection

Collaborating: I can work with others to achieve a goal

Me and my friend Sara worked very well together on this project. Although we both have a bit of a procrastination problem, we managed to put that aside and finish this project with the best of our ability. I am very proud of our performance.

Thinking: I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others.

Like mentioned earlier, me and Sara worked very well together on this project. We built ideas off of each other and often when one of us were feeling stuck and couldn’t think of new ideas, we would take look at the example and it would help us build new ideas.

Critical & Reflective Thinking: I can give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals.

Sometimes I would put a law down that didn’t quite make sense in regards to our previous laws, or Sara would. So we had to give each other feedback to make sure we were both on the same page and everything essentially made sense.

Collaborating: I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share

Sara and I had to agree on what parts either of us were going to do. Of course at times we had to help each other out but in the end we both did a quite equal amount of work and I did well doing my share.

Goal Going Forward

Social Awareness and Responsibility: I can find it easy to be part of a group

Usually I prefer working alone because working in groups gives me a bit of anxiety. I don’t like not having control over something, specifically an assignment. I plan on working on this in the future because it can be a bit frustrating. I have and always have had an unhealthy mindset of “If I don’t do it, it’s not done right” Hopefully I can become more comfortable working in groups or in pairs in the future.
