Making and Sharing Reflection

Making: While making dishes we need to use a lot of food, for example for flavor or even for garnish, we of course need to minimize waste. To accomplish this we need to use every little thing, and only take what we are going to eat. However, sometimes we take way too much, so what we can do is that we can ask our partner or our table group to see if they want any more and that way we don’t waste. For example when making the pizza I took way too much spinach so I asked my partner if he wanted any more, there is a chance that when asking our partner they might deny so what we can do is to just add the ingredient to our dish and hope for the best. Another way that we can minimize waste is that when we are chopping our ingredients we cut everything we have to not waste and for example if it has a root then we chop the closest to the root if its possible.

Sharing: Deciding on who to share my food that I have made in class isn’t a hard thing. Whenever I make food I’m happy to share with my family and friend if there is enough. I enjoy knowing what their opinion is on my food and that’s one of the major reasons I share them, not only do I enjoy to see that they have liked it, but the also suggest what I could improve on. If there are a lot of pieces then I also eat one or just one half and then the rest I bring it to my family. However, sometimes we cook things that we need to eat at school and aren’t able to take home, so I always suggest that I could someday make it for them at home so they can enjoy it how I did.

Core Competency Reflection

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by… helping my partner or table group if they are struggling to do something or either they don’t understand how to do something. I also to help extend my understanding I’m always asking questions to make sure I’m doing the right thing, I either ask first my partner, and if they don’t know, then ill ask my table group and, if they don’t know then ill ask the table group next to ours and the if they don’t know ill ask the teacher to help me understand better.

I show others that I truly value their contributions by… Asking them questions about the topic that is being discussed, so I can know what is their opinion. I also ask them how they would do a certain something to see if it would be easier to do it their way or another person way. If we are doing another food Off then I would ask them what they think we should for our meal and then ask if everyone agrees and disagrees.

As an active listener, I notice that I … tend to focus better when I’m cooking, since the teacher does demonstrations I find it was easier cooking since I was paying attention and listening very clear. I also notice that when I’m all ears I can answer questions faster since I know the answers since I have been listening.

Stock vs Bond

A. The difference between Stock and Bond, a stock is when you’re a part owner of a company but a bond is when you’re a lender for a company.

B. The security that tends to have the best rewards or returns is Stock, even though is the one with the highest risk.

Risk

A. Risks and returns are almost always connected because higher expected returns come with higher risks.

B. Some steps you could take to mitigate risks while investing in stock, are:

  • Know That the market is uncertain
  • Taking advantage of market ebbs and flows.
  • Always review your process

Balance

A. Having a “well-balanced” portfolio means having a mix of stocks and bonds, usually split evenly or with 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

B. Rebalancing is when it involves adjusting the weights of your financial assets to maintain the level of risk you choose. It’s important to “rebalance” your portfolio because that allows you to stay disciplined, buy deals when they come around, and maximize your long-term gains.

Core Competency Assessment

  1. I think I used an acceptable amount of information, although I might have to add a bit more. I used the Class Notebook for some information and googled some other information.
  2. I’m not entirely sure if investing has become a more attainable concept, I think, I would have to consult someone who knows a lot of information about investing so they could help me understand better.
  3. I never really knew anything about investing, so everything I learned is basically new for me, so it hasn’t really changed my perspective on anything.

Core Competency Reflection

My Artifact: Life Road Map

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… I find it helpful to listen to everyone’s opinion first and then ask why they disagree, I then suggest which could be better for the group and if there isn’t one, I would say that we should find one as a group. I think making sure everyone has it clear what we are looking for is very helpful, since sometimes some people may not have understand that assignment in the first place, after everything is clear I make sure everyone is agreeing, since that what team work is.

I notice when people feel left out and do this… to make sure they feel included. When I notice that someone feels left out I try to bring them into whatever we are doing but in a discreet way, since being obvious might make them feel even worse, I would first start by stating my opinion first and then asking for their opinion, since maybe asking them first might pressure them. I then start making small talk with them, and eventually bring everyone else into the conversation or whatever we were doing that was making them feel left out and that way making sure they feel included.

Critical and Reflective Thinking

My Artifact: Drawstring Bag

I demonstrated creative thinking skills during this project by this being my first time sewing something, I had never sewed before in my life, and we got the opportunity to make this project I wanted mine to be very creative, I wanted this bag to be Christmas inspired, so when finding the fabric I looked for a fabric that had the Christmas colours, during the period of making this bag, I had to think in many creative ways, for example I’m I wanted the lining to match the outer fabric or if I wanted to contrast it with another colour. Another example would be how I wanted the string to be place, either on the side or the front, another time where I had to think creative was when the teacher asked how we would use it in the future, many people would say to storage things, which is totally fine, but I wanted to be creative, so I decided to use as a decoration for my Christmas tree.

I would say my partner’s and I’s prediction was accurate. We considered what we were working with, for example, one experiment had a balloon and the other didn’t, so we had to think about what would probably change because of the balloon. I think viewing the question and looking deeper at what we had to do would’ve given me more clues to have a better prediction.

Self-Assessment

I can analyze evidence to make judegments.

My partner and I took a video as part of our experiment, so we did was analyzed the video and see what information we could find.

I use evidence to make judegments or decisions as demonstrated in this…

With the evidence we had which were the products we were going to use for our experiment, we could judge the evidence and see what could form and make a prediction from it.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Skills

BMO Box

I demonstrated my critical and reflective thinking skills during this project with the planning, although the project was to just do a box, I tried to challenge myself, and try to do something that was somewhat challenging. I had to put a lot of details which is where the critical thinking came because I had to estimate a measurement for each detail so it would fit on the box I had made. For reflective thinking skills I had to take a lot of time thinking about how I would make so details, since they were so small, at the end I made the details just how I wanted them to be.

  • Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle include…

Having a healthy, balanced lifestyle is very important since it helps me with everything, especially in school, some of my preferred strategies are getting at least 8 hours of sleep, so ill be able to attend school since I won’t feel drained, when feeling stressed about something I always reach out to someone to talk about which makes feel better after I have talked to them, having a schedule where I know when I can rest and when I should start doing work helps me a lot.

  • Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are…

How I build and maintain relationships is through communication, I’m an introverted person so reaching out in person might be hard for me, but through social media, it’s easier since I’m not talking to the person’s face to face, I can also find things I have in common with them through social media. By doing this when its time to talk face to face I won’t feel awkward and therefore I could have created a new relationship.

  • My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include…

Some of the strategies that I use to collect information are, asking people around me for facts that they know about the specific topic I’m looking for. A very important strategy is looking into it on the internet. While looking into it could be directly searching it up, some other ways are, for example, surveys and interviews. By doing all of these I’ll get the information I need for specific tasks, the more the information the better since I gain more knowledge.
