My Artifact: Concept Map
Curricular Competencies Reflection
During the Indigenous storytelling concept map assignment, I demonstrated the Comprehend and Connect competency by showing how the stories we read were all connected through land, identity, culture, and tradition. I had to really think about what each story was trying to teach and how different characters and symbols were used to share important Indigenous values. I improved my reading and viewing skills by noticing how stories like An Athabasca Story and Son of a Trickster. Creating the map helped me connect ideas across texts and recognize how important storytelling is in First Peoples communities. This assignment also helped me understand reconciliation better, as an ongoing process of learning, listening, and respecting Indigenous perspectives.
Core Competencies Reflection
Creating the concept map helped me grow in my critical and reflective thinking skills. I had to make connections between different stories we read and figure out how their themes, characters, and teachings all linked back to the central idea of Indigenous storytelling. I really had to think about how elements like land, Trickster figures, and identity were used differently across texts like An Athabasca Story, Son of a Trickster, and the Trickster tales. It pushed me to not just summarize, but to actually reflect on what each story meant and how they worked together to show diverse Indigenous worldviews. This helped me better understand the deeper messages behind the stories and improved how I organize and explain complex ideas.

1. When I get stuck on a problem, I have strategies for what to do next. They include…
Taking a step back and breathing first. If I’m working on math or something technical, I try to reread the question slowly or look up a video explanation. Sometimes, just walking away for a few minutes clears my head and helps me figure it out when I come back.
2. When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I…
I usually listen to music or take a 5–10 minute break. I’ll go grab a snack or move around a little to reset. If I’m working at home, I’ll sometimes talk to someone in my family or pet my dog. These small breaks actually help me come back more focused than before.
3. I can prevent some school-related stress by…
Keeping a to-do list or planner really helps me not get overwhelmed. I try to write down assignments and plan ahead when I know I have tests or big projects coming up. Even if I don’t finish everything perfectly, knowing what’s due helps me feel more in control and less panicked.
4. When I make mistakes, I don’t beat myself up. Instead I…
I remind myself that mistakes are part of learning. If I do badly on something, I try to see where I went wrong and what I can do differently next time. I’ve realized that most of the time, no one remembers your small mistakes but you.

Core Competency Reflection
Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include……Before splitting up tasks, I try to think about what each person is good at and what they enjoy doing.Islay is good at drawing so she decided to draw a picture of Remy, and Emi is good at explaining things in frenchso she rote the ”resume”(summary). I also try to make sure the work is divided fairly so no one feels like they’re doing too much or too little. Another thing I consider is time,if someone has a busier schedule, I wouldn’t want to give them a bigger task that takes too long.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by…..If I feel like I have too much on my plate because of my extracurriculars like work or hockey, or I’m struggling with something, I try to speak up and let my group know in a respectful way. I’ll say something like, “Hey, I think I might need help with this part” or “Would it be okay if we switched tasks?” instead of just staying quiet and stressing about it. I also make sure to listen to my group members if they have concerns too because teamwork is about making sure everyone feels comfortable. If I need extra time or clarification, I don’t hesitate to ask.
A goal for myself
One goal I have for myself is to stay organized during group projects by keeping track of tasks and deadlines. I want to make sure I know exactly what needs to be done and help my group stay on schedule.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
Collaborating
Earthworm
Cutting open an earthworm shows that I can collaborate because my partner and I worked together to ensure precise incisions. To make incisions my partner made sure the earthworm was steady as I cut through the half of the earthworm. A part of this assignment that I found difficult was making sure we didn’t accidentally remove the aortic arches because they are hard to see to the naked eye. I also gained knowledge of where certain body parts were and practiced taking them out and labeling them.

The Debates
Core Competency Reflection
If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to discuss together and let one person speak at a time so there is only one voice being focus on.
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when my other 2 group members explored more about the Mormon church so we all decided to reasearch more o the history of Mormon church and cases involved with it.
I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in the voice podcast, I feel like I had good evidence to support my points.
Connecting Media and Psychological Disorder Mind Map
Core Competency: What competencies did you demonstrate with the Connecting Media and Psychological Disorder Mind Map Assignment?
I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but I use that to build my ideas. During this project, I found it complicated to relate the lyrics from ”This is Me Trying” to a disorder but when I analyzed the song I realized it was more about sadness and needing approval.

My Favourite Quote
“Grow a backbone, trust your gut, and know when to strike back. Be like a snake — only bite if someone steps on you.”- Taylor Swift
This is my favourite quote because it shows the idea of standing up for yourself with confidence. “Grow a backbone” means that you should not shy away from difficult situations or fear confrontation. “Trust your gut” shows the importance of self-awareness in decision-making.”Know when to strike back” reminds us that we need to defend ourself in necessary at times. The comparison to a snake shows that we should not be aggressive or mean to someone else unless we need to. This quote encourages us to be assertive and respect people we needed.
