My Paper

The Writing Process

The most difficult part of this assignment was determining what to write about in the essay. I started by interviewing my mother because she could give me some advice. She is the one who knows most of the family history stories. Following my chat with my mother, I decided to interview my aunt. I was surprised by the number of part-time jobs she had previously held. I enjoyed talking with my aunt and learning about her and her husband’s stories. It is an excellent assignment that will teach us about our family history.

Core Competency Reflection

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is I will review the comments and edits made by my teacher for each assignment after it has been graded. Because I can recognize my mistakes and know how to better the following time. I show that I value feedback from others in my group by making my work available for others to read. I can’t find my mistakes on my own, thus advice from others is really important in helping me improve my work. In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by sharing ideas with my groupmate. Hearing multiple points of view and organizing them can help me gain a better understanding. Some long-term goals for myself include improving my writing skill and learning different techniques for writing. My plan to achieve them is to do my best in every writing assignment and learn from my mistakes once they have been graded by the teacher.

I can persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behaviour. My support network is beneficial to me since it can assist me in locating the resources that I require. This is a difficult course for me because it is project-based. I’m not very good at finding things on the internet and grouping them together. I can feel my progress in my studies from the beginning to the mid-term. I may look for information on many various websites and articles and come up with my own ideas for how to paraphrase the main topic.

I can work with others to achieve a goal. I learned a lot through the project of Egypt vs Mesopotamian. As an active listener, I notice that I lack communication with others. I’m hoping to grow braver and engage in more dialogue with others. During the project, I should share more thoughts with my groupmate. To gather diverse people’s perspectives and advice in order to better my project.

First sewing project-Irregular ruffles tiered skirt

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. For my first sewing project, I choose to make a tiered skirt. I found a basic tiered skirt tutorial on youtube and make changes to it. I use my creative thinking skill to help me find ideas for my project. I added three extra irregular ruffles and made colour blocking at the fabric. Which made the skirt has a richer visual sense than before.
