Grade 10 Goals:
Goal # 1: Personal Awareness and Responsibility
I know that doing homework or just regular work fast can have both positive and negative consequences, including being bored from having to note to for the rest of class and end up misbehaving. So I will adjust my strategy to accommodate for my ability to complete work early. My first thought on how I could fix this problem is to go more in depth into my responses to the questions or work that is being asked of me. But that can only work for classes like Social Studies or English, but for other classes that are just looking for the answer, like Math or Spanish, I would have to think of a different thing to fill the time. The best answer that I could com e up with was to fill the time with either studying for another class or, if there is a test, studying for that. As long as I am not boring myself to death in classes where I actually have fun. Undoubtedly there is a better answer, but for now I think that it is alright.
Goal #2: Thinking
This year I will try and seek out new learning opportunities through things like Inquiry projects, extracurricular activities and home research out of my own curiosity. For my inquiry project, I plan to research how regular people manage to do terrible things like what the Belgians did in the Congo in the 20th century and not realize what they were doing. Another example would be the Americans in Vietnam and how they were able to have their regular soldiers commit terrible crimes without hesitation and consider it alright at the time just because it is “war.” For the extracurricular activities, I am a competitive athlete and will try to branch out and find out things for optimal performance. For example, different stretches will hit specific muscles for different sports and some other things alike to that. For my own home research out of my own curiosity, it is more on a whim whether or not I feel like going on a 4-hour rabbit hole on the reason Richard Nixon stepped down from the presidency.
Goal #3: Social Awareness and Responsibility
some of the ways I plan on building and maintaining relationships are to continue to branch out into different social situations, whether that is joining a new club or activity or branching out in a class in hopes of building relationships. In terms of maintaining relationships, I know that it is a partnership; both people involved have to make an effort to connect, or else you are in danger of losing that person, so if I don’t have a person that I am friends with in my classes, I will make an effort to reach out outside of class time, i.e., lunch, flex, or even outside of school completely.
inspirational quote to motivate me to complete these goals by the end of the year.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
I can give, receive, and act on feedback to progress toward my goals.
My artifact shows that I can take an assignment that I did poorly on, get a new one, and utilize the feedback I was given to get a better mark on the second one. one thing that i would like to get better at is the giving feedback part, as that is kind of my weakness
Advertisement Persuasion Project
My Advertisement:
Persuasion Project Advertisement Technique:
Persuasion Project Unit Reflection:
Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
I think that it is important because at the end of the day, they are selling a product for you to buy so they can make a profit off of it. So, when watching a commercial or looking at an Ad, it’s always best to look past the flashy exterior and take a look in the actual point or use of the product to see if you actually need it or just want it.
Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, and emotional
I think that the most effective form of persuasion is emotional. I think this because people are easily persuaded by their emotion’s. for example when you see a charity Ad for kids in Africa it pulls on your heartstrings and makes you want to do something like donate. By manipulating people’s emotions or even their kids emotions who will convince their parents you can get tons more sales.
· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product
I think that the best advertising technique is celebrity appeal. For example, there is a Bic Easy Reach lighter that has one of the best ads I’ve ever seen. The ad had celebrity experts Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. This ad was insinuating Snoop Dogg’s well-known use of weed, and they were making plays on words with the main slogan of the ad being “good for grills, fires, and so much more.”
Core Competency Reflection:
· I showed others that I truly valued their contributions by…
Making sure that everyone’s voice was heard during this project, leaving no one out of the loop, and trying to incorporate everyone’s ideas by integrating them with the project and spreading out the work so as to have others be more involved in the decision-making of the project.
· Some things I thought about when dividing tasks among my group members were…
What everyone wanted to do, the time they had, the time it would take them, and the level of work that was produced. I also thought of inclusivity and not having anyone left out of the group simply because their quality of work was the greatest in the world.
· I showed that I valued feedback from others in my group by…
Integrating their ideas into the project and making sure that they knew why or why not their ideas didn’t get added to the presentation. I also worked with the group to decide what the teacher’s potential feedback would be in hopes of improving the presentation before we even presented.
