My Artifact: Felt Ornament

I demonstrated communication by asking for help when i needed it. I was having trouble with a type of stitch that i needed to learn to make my ornament look more appealing. I made sure to ask for help, it took me a while to understand how to do the stitch but I didn’t give up and eventually got it. Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in asking for help when needed. My ornament turned out well in the end and i’m glad i used communication until I understood how to do the stitch properly.

My Artifact: Origami Paper Ring Box

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. An example would be when we did the origami box tutorial. I made sure to listen closely so my box would turn out right and I didn’t do anything wrong. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to always make sure they aren’t confused on what we are doing in class. An example would be if I saw them struggling with the paper box I made sure to ask if they needed any help and to always help if I can. My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include making sure to watch the tutorial multiple times so I understand how to do it properly. I also made a demo box so I made sure I could make it properly. In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by answering and asking questions whenever my peers or I am confused.
