Curricular Response

In this project, I displayed many strengths and weaknesses along the way. I thought that the way I was able to touch on important Indigenous issues and show how colonialism has effected the Metis people and the community as a whole. I displayed a great understanding of how we can move further along in the path of reconciliation and the pain that constant racism has caused. A weakness I displayed was in my explanation, in the future I would create a more in depth and detailed explanation of my poem and be sure to add more information on the points I made through the artistic style of poetry. I also touched on major issues regarding identity as many years of suppression of self and telling Indigenous peoples how to be and how to act have very serious and longlisting consequences.

Core Competency Reflection

Completing assignments in EFP11 is usually an enjoyable process as I prefer written based classes over arithmetic. I don’t find the assignments to be very challenging however they are stimulating and require much thought and I think that is important. I believe that the instructions that are given are clear and easy to follow and this makes doing assignments much less stressful. My favorite type of assignment to complete in EFP11 are creative based assignments where we have to learn about the subject then make a Canva poster talking about facts we have learned while also adding pictures that support what we are saying and making connection to Indigenous peoples and all the work they put in to their crafts and healing their community. Outside of EFP11, What helps me succeed in English is staying educated and informed on issues happening around Canada and in the world and making sure to always be sensitive and open to hearing things that Indigenous people and other minority groups have to say.
