Reflecting on My First Year

Posted on by

My grade nine year

This year I really enjoyed participating in P.E. I had lots of fun playing sports, such as basketball, track, volleyball, and soccer.

This year I reached my goal of improving my skills on the basketball court. I have been working to improve almost everyday and am now playing for Tri-city.

This year I realized I learn best when I am on my own, or when the room isn’t too noisy.

When I am having difficulty with something I usually try to figure it out on my own. If that isn’t successful, I ask the teacher or my friends for help.

My Favourite Website

My favourite website is Easybib.com. It allows you to easily generate various citation formats. It also saves me heaps of time when writing research projects, and gives helpful writing tips.

My Favourite Video

My favorite video i watched this year was the jurassic park movie. After watching it, we were to write about it and identify different writing tools and strategies used. Writing allows me to express my thoughts and feelings in a creative and meaningful way. This assignment helped me gain a deeper understanding of various writing tools. 

My Favourite Image

The bagels i made in cooking class were extremely fun to make. I got to see the dough transform into golden brown, delicious treats. They were tasty because the dough was chewy, and the cinnamon and sugar topping added a nice layer of flavour. Overall, making and eating the bagels was a fun and tasty experience.

My Favourite Quote

“Even the genius asks his questions” Tupac Shakur said on “Me Against The World.” This basically means, don’t be afraid to ask questions in order to find your way, no matter what other people say or think.

Persuasion and advertisement techniques

Persuasion and advertisement unit reflection

1) I think it is important to remember who benefits from an advertisement because they are the ones making the money. You should be aware of who your money is going to.

2) An effective form of persuasion is emotional. Emotional appeals help to reach the audience on a different, psychological level. They’ll elicit a “feeling” from a potential buyer. Due to the fact that many purchasing decisions are actually influenced by feelings and emotions, it might be beneficial to engage audiences like this.

3) An effective advertising technique is eye appeal. This encourages a particular emotion in your viewers. For instance, my partner and I used warm colours and a scorching fire in our advertisement. This is so that our viewers can feel warm and cozy.

Core competency reflection

1)One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to communicate any concerns or confusion we had with each other. We would then ask the teacher if we still had trouble figuring it out on our own.

2)I showed others that I truly value their contributions by listening to their opinions and incorporating their ideas into the project.

3)Some things I thought about when dividing tasks among my group members were dividing it equally. We both did our part and contributed to the project.

Data and solutions

calculations-GIC:

80,000*1.042=83,360

83,360*1.042=86,861.12

86,861.12*1.042=$90,509.287

calculations-savings:

80,000+0=80,000

83,360+10,000=93.360

86,861.12+20,000=106,861.12

90,509.287+30,000= $120,509.287

Justification

I went with a relatively low-risk option (3-year 4.2 non-redeemable GIC and savings account). This is one of the less profitable but safest solutions, in my opinion. A bonus is that you are guaranteed to reach your objective of $120,000; nevertheless, the desired amount will only be barely reached. Due to my low risk tolerance, I believe this to be a very good alternative for me. Because stocks can go up or down and are essentially unpredictable, I am not a fan.

Collaborations and contributions

Our group did a decent job while working together. Everyone was quiet at first, but we then divided into two groups and felt comfortable working together. My partner and I both provided a respectable quantity of calculations and ideas. Nevertheless, we didn’t come up with any other methods to achieve our goal. I rate our collaboration a 2.5 out of 4.

Core competency reflections

1) I show others that I truly value their contributions by actively listening and respecting their ideas

2) In discussions and conversations I help to build and extend understanding by asking questions and paying attention to others ideas

3) If the group is not productive we can talk about what we are confused about/how we can be more efficient to get things moving in the right direction

4) I can recognize different points of view and can disagree respectfully
