Critical Thinking

Button Classification Assignment

At the beginning of the year my Life Science 11 class did this activity to practice classifying with buttons. I worked with my partner Alethea, together we had to sort the buttons into different species and give them scientific names. We had to use critical thinking because we needed an understanding what to eliminate and what goes together, like a puzzle. I definitely improved in noticing smaller details to make my decisions and this improved my overall critical thinking skills. Alethea and I had many different ideas so I was able to realize that different people have different ways of sorting things when it comes to priority. Overall this assignment really turned on my critical thinking for the rest of the year and helped me understand what taxonomists do in their job.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

Create and Communicate: While doing this assignment we had to present our project to the class. This made me work on my speaking skills. When we had to draw a photo of our mutated animal I used my representation skills to show what we imagined. We also made a PowerPoint to explain our idea in more depth. This helped me grow a lot in those areas.

Creative Thinking: I definitely grew during this project because I had to use creative thinking a lot. To come up with new ideas of mixed animals with pros and cons helped me improve my creative thinking. I am very proud of this project because it really shows our creativity and design.
