Core Competency Reflection
I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but use that to develop my ideas. When I was making this project, I struggled to find things to write about. I constantly believed what I wrote was not good enough, but eventually realized that submitting a sub-par (at least by my standards) assignment is better than not doing it at all.
I can give, receive and act on feedback to progress in my goals. When I was stuck with nothing to write on this assignment, my dad gave me some ideas of what to write, which helped me complete the assignment.
I can think about what I am going to convey and to whom I will convey it. I tried to use professional language when creating this project, rather than the amateurish language normally utilized by students because a teacher, rather than a student, would be reading it.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements. While researching information for this project, I was able to deduce that Calgary would be a good place to install solar panels because it receives so much sunshine during the year.
I can develop a body of creative work over time. I want to become more creative throughout the course of high school. I much prefer straight, non-confusing assignments rather than assignments with a creative aspect involved. I need to work on this because many assignments in high school require creativity and thinking (What do YOU think? How does this connect to YOUR life? etc.) If I’m being honest, these questions (What is an example from YOUR life?) really infuriate me because my life isn’t quite that storied or interesting, which often forces me to make up events from my own life.
