Reflection

Curricular Competency & Content Reflection

I talked to my grandparents for the part about him escaping the war in Hong Kong and it was very sad because most of his family died. I feel bad and he gets sad at the topic and he never gets sad so that is how I know it means a lot to him and should be in my poem. When I went to my grandmothers house we went to Church and then we went to a mall which had won ton noodle soup and always got it after with rice noodles. It was tradition basically because before I was in school I was usually there and spent a lot of my time there. We always painted, baked or worked in the garden together after. Before my mom and dad had me they went travelling a lot and that is why we were born later than a lot of kids but there are many memories they share that makes great conversation.

Core Competency Reflection

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. When my grandparents and parents told me their stories I listened well so I can make sure to put real information and not make it up. I made sure to ask questions so they know I am listening and being polite.

I can tell what is important to me and I can explain my values. I tried putting the most important things of what I learned from my familied history. I explained all of my best values in my poem so it gets our the best details.

I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. When I talked with my grandpa I first asked him what I was curious about and he explained what I needed to know and I asked more questions beyond that.

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I was so stuck on the poem the first few days but I started to look at others poems and I started to get an idea without copying anything
