I think that being a good public speaker is knowing your audience. If people say something that the audience doesn’t like it’s most likely not going to be a good speech. To be a good audience I think the number one thing is listening. If you don’t listen it’s the extremely disrespectful. The other thing with being a good audience member is having good body language. If the audience is acting like they don’t want to be there then the speaker is not going to try as hard as they can.
Collaborating Core Competency Reflection
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to talk and give each person in the group a chance to agree or disagree with what we’re doing.
I know the group is working well together when I hear us all agreeing on something and sharing different ideas.
I show that I value feedback from others in my group by listening to it and in some cases using it in projects.
If there is a disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to talk about something else and then go back to what we were disagreeing about and then try to deal with it again.
My goal is to be more clear about who is doing what within the group. I’m doing this by whenever I start a group project going over what needs to be done and then splitting the work.
I think that I used analyzing and applying content by first coming up with our original list for Earth 2 and then after finding out the main points of the Industrial Revolution, changing what I think needed to be changed or go into more detail about what need to be in more detail. I learned that there is a lot more that goes into creating nations and cities than I thought. For past connections I realized that a lot of things would be different if the Industrial Revolution never happened. Kids would start working at a younger age and many things would still be done by hand. I think that in the future things are going to made by hand less and less due to the advances in technology made everyday.
Core Competency Reflection
One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is when I have a topic to just say whatever I think would make sense in that situation and don’t have a specific thing to talk about just an area of ideas
I know the group is working well together when I see and hear that we have brainstormed ideas and have written a good amount down on paper.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I take a second to stop what I was doing and just do something else for a minute or listen to music to just let my thoughts calm down and then I go back to my original task and have a better focus.
One of the ways I ensure that my group is clear on the common purpose is by going around and making sure that everyone is ok with the ideas that have been shared. If they say something else they have this opportunity to say something
My goal is to be more focused on using other peoples feedback in my work. I am working on this when I have an assignment to hand in and I get feedback from a peer. I try to change what I think needs to be changed based on their feedback.
My ad is an Under Armour water bottle. It’s meant to be used by the people of Panem to either give it to their favorite tribute in the games or to keep it for themselves and not have to get up and get a refill. I used Logical and Emotional persuasion techniques. Logical because I have facts like ‘Holds 20% more water’ and emotional because you can send it to your favorite tribute and not have to stop watching to game to get a refill. For advertisement techniques I used are card stacking, eye-appeal, and special offer. Card stacking because it have little bits of information scatter around the ad, eye-appeal because my ad has a colorful background, and special offer because it put the word only in front of the price. Overall, I think my ad will catch the attention of the people of Panem and I will make life for them easier.
Core Competency Reflection
An example of where I took a significant risk in my thinking or the expected process was when I decided to do two side by side images in my ad. I didn’t know how it would look after I finished it but in my opinion it looks pretty good.
I appreciate feedback on my ideas and prefer it comes in the form of honest but still kind words. If it’s kind but not true or honest by not in a nice way it doesn’t work so well for me.
This is how I select images and words to create impact for different audiences: I try and think about the audience that will be viewing my ad and choose what images and words would work best with what I think they would like.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my persuasion and advertisement techniques paragraph because I clearly and purposefully explained the techniques I used.
Monday night works because Parent A gets home at 4:30 and can make the meal in 45 minutes to eat at 6:20 so Parent B can get to their fitness class at 7:00. Parent A decided to make 6 servings so the two kids can eat it for lunch or a snack the next day. The original serving was four servings but we bumped it up to six.
Tuesday night works because Teen 1 gets home at 3:30 and can make the meal in 25 minutes to eat at 6:00 so Teen 2 can be at soccer practice by 6:30 and Parent A will be home at 6:00 so they can eat as soon as they get home.
Wednesday night works because Parent B gets home at 5:30 and can make the meal in 85 minutes to eat at 6:45
Thursday night works because Parent B gets home at 5:30 and can make the meal in 20 minutes to eat at 6:00
Friday night works because Teen 2 gets home at 3:30 and Parent A gets home at 4:30 to make the meal in 70 minutes to eat at 6:00. Since Teen 1 is not going to be there for dinner they made extra to eat throughout the weekend. The reason Parent A is cooking with Teen 2 is that Teen 2 is not a very advanced chef and needs help. The original amount of the waffles and eggs was supposed to be four serving but we bumped it up to eight.
My group shared information through a shared word document and through email. We used technology to keep notes on word, look at all the recipes and details about the family, to communicate through outlook and to create our Edublogs. I was familiar with all the tools we used throughout this project. Each person chose one day of the week to make a meal plan and to figure out how much time they have to make the meals. One of us worded some of the ideas and the rest of us typed up the questions. One of us found the waffles and eggs recipe, one of us found the Tomato sauce pasta recipe and, one of us found the Caprese salad recipe. I contributed by finding one of the recipes, planning Fridays meal, and typing up some of the ideas in our shared word document.
My name is Emma, and I am fourteen years old. I have one younger sister who is eleven years old. I have been playing soccer for about ten years with Coquitlam Metro Ford. I really enjoy reading, one of my favorite book would probably be ‘Lady Midnight’ by Cassandra Clare. My family owns a cabin up at Hatzic Lake in Mission. We usually spend time up there during summer tubing, swimming, and more. Finally, my favorite sports team is the Vancouver Canucks. Although they have never won the Stanley Cup, I still have somewhat high hopes.
I chose this as my website because it has so many cool things on it. You can use it to get new ideas and share new ideas. Its great for jokes, riddles, and recipes.
VIDEO
I chose this video because it is funny and entertaining to watch. I also have many jokes that my friends and I make randomly about the video. Another reason I chose this video is because of the song. I really enjoy listening to it and it is really upbeat.
IMAGE
I chose this image because it is a picture of the view of the lake at my family’s cabin on Hatzic Lake. It’s a lot of fun there and it’s also very pretty.
QUOTE
I can do this all day.
Captain America (First Avenger)
I chose this quote because Captain America is great and because in a way the quote is inspiring. You need confidence in life, and this shows that. He’s confident that he ‘can do this all day’
