Explain how you chose one image and one quotation to create or support the meaning represented in your map assignment. The quote that stood out to me was, “The sign was painted, said private property”, because this just shows us what the non Indigenous people thought of indigenous peoples land and property. Clearly they didn’t care about the sign because they just continued whatever they were doing. The drawing I decided to draw for this quote was a person holding its hand up to another person who was trying to talk but was immediately shut down. The drawing is meant to be a figurative drawing of an indigenous person who is trying to speak to a non indigenous person but is ignored. Overall, this quote and drawing shows us no matter how Indigenous peoples tried to set boundaries or have a say in something, it was just shut down immediately.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

How did you select images and words to create meaning?  What this easy for you? Why or why not? I selected my images based on my quotes I chose. I chose quotes that I thought were important and I would be able to draw a picture of them that I thought was significant to the topic of indigenous peoples being disregarded. It was hard to only pick 4 quotes because I thought everything they were saying in both songs were important. The reason I think the are important is because I think they should be talked about more because of the important lesson they both give from different perspectives.

Core Competencies

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.

  1. Artifact I am most proud of the worm dissection lab
  2. Explanation; Share the experience of collaboration for your artifact (Consider roles and responsibilities, strategies used to navigate project goals and any misunderstandings, how you shared ideas with one another, and what you would improve on for next time).
  3. For this lab we dissected an earthworm and it was very interesting for me and my lab partner. My lab partner and I had equally fair roles. One of my roles was to put the pins into the worm to open it up and my lab partner was cutting it open. We helped our peers when they were stuck on something and they helped us when we were stuck on something. When we didn’t understand something we went and advocated for ourselves. When my lab partner and I had different ideas we were able to compromise. Something I would improve for next time would to ask more questions so I understood more.

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? In the beginning of the book I was confused because Christopher was going from talking about his personal life to talking about calculations. This made me confused and lose interest in the 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.

My Learning of CPR

CPR Trends to Follow for 2015. https://www.cprcertified.com/blog/cpr-trends-to-follow-for-2015. Accessed 20 Dec. 2023.

CPR Reflection

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before? I learned that when doing CPR you have to push down very hard which will probably end up breaking some ribs. When doing this though you want to make sure you and pushing down 5cm which is as long as a key. You want to make sure you are pushing hard and fast.

What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit? I think the key takeaway from this unit is learning how to do CPR on someone who is unconscious. I think this is a very useful life skill to always have because you could save someone’s life.

How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously? You want to make sure that you are putting healthy foods into your body because if you only eat lots of veggies, fruits and grains you wont get much cholesterol. So you always want to make sure you have a balanced healthy diet.

Core Competency Reflection

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.

Fettuccine Alfredo

Making and Sharing Reflection

When making fettuccine alfredo you need the following equipment, large pot + small pot, dry measures + small measures, colander, whisk, zester, paring knife, wooden spoon, clustered cup, liquid measure and a rubber spatula. When making this recipe there are two safety concerns, the stove and the zester. You could burn yourself on the stove and you could cut yourself with the zester. For this recipe you are using your knife skills when cutting the garlic because you have to cut it very small.

When making the fettuccine alfredo I thought it was very successful. Me and my group communicated well. We all had a job in order to make this lab successful. One person was in charge of cooking the noodles, another person was in charge of cutting/ grating ingredients, and lastly there was two people doing there own sauce.

Core Competency Reflection

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by…talking to my group before we cook to make sure everyone is on the same page and knows what to do. This also helps me to clear up any confusion I had.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see… people talking about whos jobs are whos to make sure the lab can be successful. And our group works together by helping each other out once one person is finished there job.

As an active listener, I notice that … when I say words out loud it helps me remember them more. So that also connects back to me wanting to raise my hand up more in class discussions. I think it could help my learning. To achieve this goal I will learn to not be scared to raise my hand up even if I think the answer could be wrong.

Frankenstein Films Power Point Assignment: Self Assessment

Curricular Response

This is my figurative image for Elizebeth in the 1931 film. While I was figuring out what I could put for a figurative image for her, I thought about this one because I feel like Elizebeth was just there and didn’t do much. I felt like people would walk past her and not even care. I thought Frankenstein didn’t really care about her, I personally thought she deserved way more.

Core Competency Self Assessment

How did you select images and words to create meaning? was this easy for you? why or why not? The reason I selected the figurative image of Elizebeth was because I thought that one was really true to the story and how her role was played. The hardest part of this assignment might have been the writing part of it, because I had to write about the image and why I chose it. Otherwise I think this assignment was pretty easy.
