The best year of my life assignment.

Critical, Communication, and Reflective Thinking

I can form new ideas to create new things when it comes to Spanish. When doing paragraphs rights in a different language, I have to think creatively in order to maintain being on the right track. I can find different solutions when I am stuck. Finding different solutions when I can’t think of the right words for Spanish really helps me. Finding new solutions can also give me new ideas. I can ask for help from peers when I need to. Asking my peers for help when looking for a word or wondering about a word I don’t know helps me. Asking for help ensures I am on the right track when writing in a different language. Asking for help allows me to learn new contexts of Spanish. These core competencies will help me to continue to grow in this class by branching out and learning new things about the language.

The difficulties of writing in a different language can vary. Sometimes it is hard to remember all of the vocabulary that I have learned, so it becomes hard for me to write the right words. It can be very fun to write in a different language, especially after learning more vocabulary so you are able to input it into your next write or conversation. Overall, this experience of Spanish 11 has been great because I decided to continue doing this language at school. I get to learn new things and challenge myself daily by having this class in my schedule.

Curricular Response

This assignment highlights my strengths in writing and my understandings of Indigenous history and how it affects the society. What helps me most when writing is being creative and trial and error with my projects. Originally, I wanted to do a paragraph but after a few attempts, I knew the poem was the right choice for me. Something that I would change is having a real plan on what I am going to do and write about. Knowing what I want to do and execute will only help me in the long term.

Core Competency Self Reflection

My top priorities in the coming weeks for upcoming assignments is having a plan and be able to demonstrate my learning clearly. An extra and cautious step when doing assignments will be carefully reading the instructions and making sure that everything that was asked for is in the assignment and/or project. Having this approach will make sure I get full marks that I would like, instead of getting marks taken due to a small error.

Perspective/Cause and Consequence

Core Competencies are analyze and critical thinking.

Throughout this term, I have been able to view an assignment in different ways. I have expanded my thinking and view the assignment from different perspectives. A way I try to view things in a different way is asking my group members or family members at home. To analyze and critique my work is by asking for someone to proof read through it. With the feedback I received, I skim through my work and acknowledge the information my friends and family have given me. I make the adjustments to my assignments to the way individuals have requested and test to see if I like it that way. I usually make the adjustments or stand my ground and say that I am keeping it the way I want.

I have demonstrated different perspective, analyzing, and critiquing by reviewing my work and asking for different perspective so I am able to reach my full potential. You can see the that I have demonstrated these core and curricular competencies in my work because I have nearly reached my full potential, although I can continue to grow. I have done the research and view the assignments from the perspective, such as the letter to PM, I had to view it from a different point of view which I chose a white person in the Canadian community at the time. For the propaganda poster I had to analyze and view it from others perspective such as the audience I am targeting with the poster.

Our solution:

Plan B: 3 year GIC

60,000*4.2%

62,520*4.2%

65,145.84*4.2%

After 3 years it would equal to 67,881.69

Plan A: 1 year GIC

1 year: (20,000 + 10,000)*3.5%=$31050

2 years: (31050 + 10,000)*3.5%= $42486.75

3 years: (42486.75 + 10,000)*3.5%=$54323.75

$67,881.69 + $54323.75= 122,205.44 (Total)

Justificationn

Strengths vs Weakness

Strengths:

We have done the math of how much n=money we will have after three years, which is the right amount of money we needed.

GIC’s is safe.

Weaknesses:

We aren’t able to touch our money for 3 years since it is with GIC.

We can’t access any money if we need it.

Tolerance:

The solution we chose does fit my tolerance of being safe and having a bit of a risk, but with the math that is done and decisions that have been made, it does suit my choices.

Our plan vs stocks

GIC’s ensures that we will have the right amount of money we will need by the third year.

Stocks are also a good idea but it is more of a risk. Stocks would’ve gotten us more money but, we can also get the right amount of money we need with the 3 year GIC without a big risk.

Collaboration and Contribution

Working with our groups worked out fine even with people away.

I contributed by helping make the excel document, everyone else helped make a plan and solution.

Yes we did use other solutions that was said with the group. We used two separate solutions.

My ability to work with other is like a 3/4.

Core Competencies – Collaboration

I know the group is working well together when I hear/see everyone talking and communicating with each other and knowing our responsibilities and contributions to the group. I can work with others to achieve a goal.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try my best to be open to anything and just welcome them. As we work together it is also a opportunity to get to know each other more and help each other more. I can recognize different point of views and can disagree respectful.

Spoiled Milk 

Our friendship was like milk. Before it was pouring a cup for each other every day, where we would talk 24/7 and plan our future together. The glass was so full of loyalty and kindness that it would soon overflow the cup, leaving the remainders go to waste.  

Eventually we didn’t have a glass of milk in a while, where our carton that we created together was soon lost in the deep abyss of the chaotic fridge. The milk soon went spoiled as the rumors and lies slowly rotted our carton. We took our friendship for granted whilst thinking it was ever lasting.  

I hoped for the milk to still be good, so I gave it another try, only to have an acid like taste burning my throat. The bitter and sour aftertaste of betrayal and weakness taking over what was once sweet, leaving my carton feel incomplete. Our eternal spoiled milk. 

During this task, I learned more about the sound devices and figures of speech. I grew in writing skills by extending my knowledge about the ways to write poems. It helped me be more creative and expose my writing skills that made me more confident.

Core Competencies Reflection

#ThinkingCC

I used reflective and creative thinking when working on my poem. It helped me identify who I was and dug deeper into my emotions. When I was stuck on what to write about, I brainstormed and just thought of multiple ideas and chose which one I should do. I asked peers if I should anything about my poem so it could be better. Next time I would wish we had more time instead of one day because it was difficult with the time range but I still managed.

Health and Wellness Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood, or re-focus, I listen to music or hangout with my friends and talk to them. Listening to music always boosts my mood and re-focuses me, my friends are always there for me which makes me feel better.

When I am sad, anger or frustrated, listening to music helps me be more productive or calm. Or taking a brain break such as walking outside and going for fresh air helps me get more energy out and become more productive.

My Advertisement

Persuasion Advertisement techniques

Persuasion Advertisement Unit Reflection

The person who benefits from the advertisement the most is the company, owner, production, and whoever was in the advertisement.

It is important to know the who because that is your intended audience.

The techniques of logical, emotional, and ethical is effective because they can start to get to the audiences heads and persuade them into buying the product.

Eye appealing technique is effective because it’s showing the product and by the looks of the product it would make you want to buy the product. Bandwagon is effective because it makes you feel guilty if you don’t buy the product. Card stacking works because you discard the bad parts of your product and only talk about the positives.

Overall, I learned the many techniques of persuasion and how it can be used. I also learned that commercials can lie about certain things and only point out the good parts of the product and not the negative.

Core Competency Reflection

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when me and my partner were discussing our idea’s and what product we were going to use. We agreed on a product to use and we soon discussed what were going to do. As we filmed our ad, we came up with multiple ways to be creative and have a product we were both happy with in the end.

I showed that I valued feedback from others in my group by taking that feedback into reconsideration and adjust my project into the criteria my group members have given me.

One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to communicate with them to make sure we were all on the same page.
