Science Unit Core Competency Self-Assessment
Artifact:
Science Project (Energy Transformation)
Explanation:
Thinking
I used creative thinking in this assignment by collaborating with others in my group so we can share ideas that we thought of by critically thinking. We were able to build on each other’s ideas to make new and improved better ones. Although we didn’t meet the required time, I think with more practice, and or more information we could have made it.
Communication
I also used communication by talking to the audience while presenting, I could have improved my section of the presentation if I looked up and maybe had practiced my lines more so that I would be able to saw it flawlessly.
R2 – Harajuku Fashion
What is your opinion on Harajuku fashion? Do you think these styles could be popular in Canada?
Harajuku Fashion is very weird but also very unique. Harajuku Fashion consists of a variety of different types of styles such as, Decora (Rainbow colours and excessive amount of accessories), Gyaru (Dyed hair, lots of makeup, and strange hairstyles), etc.
Due to Canada’s welcoming of these different things like LGBTQ, as they weren’t so welcoming of it before. I think that eventually if it becomes more popular and more popular within the western fashion sense then I’m sure that we could see this on the streets of downtown, or even in schools. Although even if people are welcoming this, there will be people who don’t welcome it and will probably be mean about it, Harajuku Fashion is all about expressing what you feel and what you want to dress as.
R1 – Sando
Why do you think Japan is so creative with its sandwiches? How do these compare to the sandwiches available in Canada?
Japan is so creative with their sandwiches because of the flavours that make them so unique from Canada. For example the Japanese sandwich ランチパック, they make some interesting flavours like sticking fruits into sandwiches which is something I’m not sure Canadians would eat. Another interesting flavour is a cafe all cream, which is to me really unique.
What is the most creative meal you have made or had? Would it taste good in sandwich form??
I haven’t really have had any creative meals but a Japanese meal that maybe some non-Japanese people haven’t had before might be Chirashizushi. To be honest I don’t really like it but Japanese people think it’s tasty. It might taste good in sandwich form but I doubt it.
What sandwich type are you most excited to try? (Upload a photo if you make one!)
I really want to try a Yakisoba-pan. I really like eating Yakisoba so I’m sure it would be so good if it were in between a koppe-pan.
If offered by him, would you eat a part of Anpanman’s head? Why??
I don’t really like Anpan, but I would do anything to eat カレーパンマン’s head because Curry Pan is my favorite Japanese bread. I really like Curry Pan because Japanese Curry itself is very delicious.
Reflecting on My First Year
My Grade 9 Year
This year I enjoyed, learning how different middle school, and high school are from each other. I also liked learning all of these new things that I hadn’t had learned in middle school. I especially enjoyed having all the different teachers, and having them teach me a subject specialized to them.
My Favorite Website
https://centennial.myweeklyplanner.net/
This is one of my favorite websites because this website that lets me book flex, and flex time has really helped me get school work done, or take a load off of my back when I have a lot of work due.
Favorite Video
I really enjoyed learning about the American Revolution, because I found the topic about two countries at war, really interesting. I also found the 7 Years War also really interesting, this terms social studies was really fun.
My Favourite Image
This image me and my partner made for ADL, we were supposed to make a monster to be used in the Hunger Games. We fused a bear, toucan, humming bird, and a unicorn to make Gringamor.
My Favourite Quote
I think this was a good educational quote because I think that it actually resonates with me. I also decided to choose this one because, it makes more sense to me that some other educational quotes.

Learning the Scientific Method: Self Assessment
Artifacts: Egg Drop
Artifacts: Golf Tower
Curricular Response:
The build process of the golf tower, was quite different from my build process of the egg drop. The build process of the golf tower was quite disappointing because, it took a long while for the tower to build, but it could not withstand the weight of the golfball. In the end, I took the initiative to make a small cylindrical tube to put the golf ball on, so we could get at least a singular point. The final height was around 1’2 if I recall correctly. The egg drop was equally as disappointing as a result, because my device could not protect the egg from the fall. When it came for my time to drop, I had a microscopic amount of hope when the device was dropping, because from what I saw at the top, the device was falling slower than at the speed of the ones that my peers had made, but in the end the egg cracked.
Both of these experiments have greatly improved my understanding in the scientific method because I learned that experiments are trial and error, and also how to make a proper hypothesis.
Core Competency Self Assessment and Creative Thinking
- I’m most proud of my egg drop assignment because, I actually had fun, and hope during the experiment process, and the build process.
- A challenge I had to overcome was in the golf tower challenge, where my partner wanted to build it by himself, and due to this we became short on time, and if we didn’t have any structure to hold a golfball by the end of the class we would get no marks. So I took one for the team, and built a structure that would at least get us that mark.
- My experience understanding the two Scientific Methods is, since that both of my labs, we mostly failures I understand experiments are trial and error.
- Tell me how you did the following:
A) I demonstrated that I can create new things when I have prototypes as ideas that I can build on, and have a good hypothesis to test.
B) I demonstrated that I can build on the ideas of others when I can communicate with my partner and talk to them, to discuss ideas that we both agree on and can improve.
C) When trying new things, I expect setbacks and failure and use them to develop my ideas. An example of this from the Scientific Method labs would be when I write my conclusion, or when I analyze my data.
RSelf Study
What you did well and how you can improve your Japanese study habits?
In my opinion something I did well is, using my prior Japanese knowledge and using it to learn more in this class, as well as learning new things and more that I previously didn’t know. I can definitely improve by studying, and memorizing kanji / particles and how the work. I can do this by casually studying when I’m feeling bored and have nothing to do.
Answers to 3 of the following Core Competencies
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is kanji. I have spent a lot of my spare time studying kanji that at my level in Japanese, I should’ve previously known, so I’m using this class as an opportunity to learn what I need to know.
I appreciate feedback on my work, and what I need to improve on, and prefer it comes in the form of short, but informative on what I need to spend more time in.
To celebrate an accomplishment such as learning something new, or forming a difficult sentence, I feel more encouraged to learn more, and try to make more sentences.
Photography 10
| Core Competency | “I can” Statement | Artifact | Reflection |
| Communication | I can communicate my learning through a Powerpoint presentation. | Whitney Snow.pptx | In my powerpoint presentation, I researched about a specific person and what made them special as a photographer. During the process of making the presentation, I learned some skills in photography that I had not have learned, but also learning about the different people who pursue photography as a job, or a passion. And I hoped to communicate my learning visually through a powerpoint presentation. |
| Thinking | I can express my thinking and what is going through my head when I am assessing a photo to critique. | Image Critique 3.docx | When I am critiquing an image for a image critique assignment, I can express, pros and cons about how the photographer took the photo, and what they did to make it better; such as, using elements of art, principles of design, color theory, and compositional techniques. But also expressing what I think about the photo and why I like it, or why I might not like it. |
| Personal and Social | I can express accomplishment with others by sharing my work with them, and seeing if they also like my work. | jpeg.png (Christmas Card) | I believe that this belongs in the personal and social category because, I felt proud of how well my card turned out and I was able to feel accomplished with my work, and that part makes it personal. And for social, I shared it to family, because I felt proud and accomplished that it looked presentable. I wanted to share it to my family so I could get feedback on what I could improve on next time. |

R4 – School Life
How does school in Japan compare to Canada? Is there anything they do in Japan, that you wish we did at Centennial?
Japanese schools and Canadian schools, are really different when it comes to; education, routine, dress code, etc. School lunches might be good, but if they were to server western food, instead of Japanese food, then it probably wouldn’t be as good.
Do you think that students should have more responsibilities at school like cleaning duty? Why?
I think that many people here in Canada would dislike if our schools did this, but I wouldn’t mind cleaning my classroom with my peers and friends.
How lucky are you in じゃんけん？Would you be able to snag leftovers?
I am quite unlucky when it comes to じゃんけん, so I doubt I would be able to beat anyone in my class to get any leftovers.
R3 – Japanese Mascots
My Mascot: やえせのシーちゃん (yaese’s shi-chan)
Location: Okinawa
https://www.yurugp.jp/en/vote/detail.php?id=00002786
What makes Japanese mascots different from the ones we see in Canada?
I think they are different from mascots that we would see in Canada is because, we have ones that look a little funky unlike the ones in Japan’s mascots who’s are more cuter.
Why do you think mascots are so popular in Japan? Do you think Canada should have a similar take on mascots? Explain
I think mascots are popular in Japan because they are used to represent Japan and its prefectures, as well as businesses. In my opinion it would be weird for Canada to take on something similar to mascots like Japan because I don’t think it would suit Canadian culture as much as it suits the Japanese culture.
