Spanish 11 Core Competency Reflection

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.

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.

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.
