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.

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.
