As an active listener, I notice that I … was able to put and use many structures we learned in class into my slides and my speech. The structures I used and talked about make sense to me.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in… when I only used structures we learned in class so when I talk my class can understand what I am saying and I understand what I am saying.
Describe some of the challenges you faced reading your book club book and describe how you overcame those challenges. What was something about the author’s writing style that you liked or disliked when reading your book club book?

I liked how the author went from the book from being boring to very interesting.
5. I was able to focus on what we needed to do throughout the process of our task and kept working even when I found something challenging. I think fit this criteria because I was able to stay focus while others might have not been and I was able to tackle hard challenges. 2. I listened to others’ ideas, considered their points of view and offered constructive suggestions. I almost fit with this criteria but sometimes its hard for me to understand some peoples ideas.
I deliberately learn about things that interest me, and new ideas pop into my head. I decided to do my mind map song on my favorite singer, Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift interests me in what she dose and her songs she makes. By me researching something I love I was able to get more ideas and build them together to form my mind map.
“I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.” This Core Competency was in the Communication section. On my Monopoly Assignment I showed that I can understand what the terms mean by writing the chance cards with scenarios that correspond to the term. I also show I understand the topic because I know which terms go with each other.
When it seems, the good ideas just won’t come to me, I want to stop what I am doing so I can focus on thinking of good ideas instead of blanking out of ideas. Sometimes it is hard for me to do two tasks at a time so I think if I do one task at a time I will be able to come up with good ideas.
When I am sad, angry or frustrated, I want to stop what I am doing a take a small break to regain my focus back. Ways I can regain my focus could be going for a walk, read a book, organize or anything that can keep my mind away from whatever was making me stressed or overwhelmed.
Communication: Something I am most proud of is the first lab my class and I did. My partner and I worked very well together and we communicated a lot through out the lab. My partner and I both did equal amount of work to finish this lab. I listened to my partners ideas and my partner listened to my ideas as well. My partner and I were focused throughout the lab and stayed on task. We both had different tasks and one of my tasks was to wash the equipment we used. This lab was very interesting to watch the different chemicals change colours when put into different chemical bases.

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is… if someone collapses in front of me I now know what to do. Find the risks, recognize them, react and resuscitate. I also learned how to properly do CPR. By knowing all this I could save a life.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by… talking to friends or peers of what I have just learned to get all the information to stay in my head. I also learn from others opinions and what they have to say.
One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was… how important it is to know how to do CPR because what if one of my family members collapsed in front of me and I didn’t know what to do. I would feel helpless but now if someone collapses in front of me I now know what to do.
