My Artifact

This is a poem I made in English with the theme being Love Poems.

Curricular Competencies Reflection.

What I learned during this assignment was trying to fit in the requirements which took a lot of thinking, and how to use them, for example, I had to have at least 1 metaphor, 1 simile, 1 personification, and 2 senses or more used in the poem. After this assignment, I feel like I improved my writing skills since this was one of my first times writing a poem with those requirements, and I had to redo the poem a few times because the poem wasn’t properly structured.

Core Competencies Reflection.

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by… repeating what the speaker had said in my way and in a less complex way. To help build conversations, I would find more information on the topic that was spoken and get the opinion of my peers.

The ways I communicate at school differ from how I communicate with the family in these ways: I come from a Spanish/English speaking household, when I communicate with my mother I speak to her in Spanish, with my father and brother I communicate with them in English, so my communication will vary, depending on who I’m talking to.

My Project

Public Speaking

I have learned to be more confident in public speaking. Additionally I have learned that I feel less nervous if I’m doing public speaking with someone else rather than by myself. One thing that is really necessary is that I have to make eye contact which for me is kind of hard since I feel awkward doing that so I would just look to a wall or outside which I would try to learn to do differently. One major thing that public speaking helps me learn is improving my English when I speak especially since it is kind of hard to because English is my second language.

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… discuss on the disagreement and why they disagree and then find something we all agree on.

If the group is not productive, we can …. in order to get things moving in the right direction.

We can discussion way of doing the assignment ina fun way so we still do the assignment and not feel bored.

I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by…

To ask them personally if they agree on what we are doing or if they have any ideas instead.

I show others that I truly value their contributions by… adding their ideas to the work or if they prefer that they do it by themselves, so it doesn’t feel like I’m doing all the work.

Persuasion and Advertising Techniques

Our project is supposed to show an extravagant item people can buy and wear. We used ethical persuasion techniques which we can find through the quote of Katniss Everdeen’s stylist. The advertising techniques we used were glittering generalities and card stacking. We can take a look at the card stacking which is at the top left corner where it says “100% SAFE” and “100% STYLE”. For example, we used a more fancy font on the “Ever” in the quote. To conclude we hope you enjoy our ad
