I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. I am glad I took Drama 11 because I made new friends and during the duration of the course, I learned a lot of things and became better at a lot of things. Drama helped me become better at public speaking since we had to act some skits out in front of the whole class. I learned to express my feelings better by acting them out.
For this project, I made Mike Wazowski from “Monster’s Inc”. I placed him in part of Boo’s room, to be specific the closet area. I chose this character because he is one of my favorite characters from my childhood. Through this project, I demonstrated Critical and Reflective Thinking. I was able to demonstrate this because throughout this project I had to be creative and use my imagination. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is… going through Pinterest since the app has a lot of stuff you can be inspired from. After going through Pinterest I mix all of the things I liked into one thing. Not only do I need imagination to be creative but you can also have some skills to help you be better. Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are… talking with my peers or friends and getting their opinions on what I could change or improve. Talking with someone about my next project or the one I am currently working on has helped me a lot. Sometimes they might even help me without even realizing it. Talking with someone makes my imagination grow bigger and therefore be more creative.
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.

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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
