COMIC STRIP

Unit 5 comic strip

Core Competency Relfection

Creative Thinking:

  • I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I did this when we and my partner were coming up with ideas for the comic strips. We built off of each others ideas.
  • I can develop a body of creative work over time. The comic strip is an example of this because it is creative work and it took time to complete.

Collaborating:

  • I can work with others to achieve a goal. I showed this with the comic strip because it was a partner project and my partner and I worked together to come up with the idea and the basics of the story to complete the comic strip.
  • I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. I did this with the comic strip because although we came up with the basic idea together I wrote it out and fine lined it while my partner drew the pictures and colored it.

Math Self Assessment

By doing work on the whiteboards in the classroom, I made a positive difference for my peers because I helped them when then needed it and it was fun working with other people.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen when I’m working with other people and explaining my ideas. Another time is during the communication part of the tests I do.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I listen to music. Listening to music makes it easier to clear my head and focus on the task I need to complete. Also, depending on the song it can boost my mood.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are communication because talking about things in a relationship is key to making it work. I like to talk and talking with people makes the relationship better.

CPR Reflection

My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

Something that I learned that I didn’t know before was the difference between having a stroke and having a heart attack. Having a stroke effects mostly your brain whereas a heart attack effects mostly your heart. My key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit is the knowledge that I can save a life if it comes down to it. Knowing that I know what to do if a situation comes up if really cool to think about. This unit connects to the nutrition unit because you need to have good nutrition to reduce your chances of having a heart attack.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen when I have been practicing CPR. I had to come in and yell for help and that is a form of communicating purposefully.

I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life because you never know who’s going to have a heart attack and when. I can help people if needed and you never know when people need help.

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is if I see someone having a heart attack, I can help them and hopefully help them to survive. I can use this to also help others to know what to do if they are ever in a situation where they need to know.

Socials 10 Core Competency Self-Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

Canada’s war declaration on Nazi Germany was important because it showed that they still knew what they had to do but they made the decisions for themselves. The Canadians waited 7 days after France and Great Britain before declaring war on the Nazis. The placement of their declaration proved that they had the power to make their own decisions and do what’s best for them rather than what’s best for Britain. The declaration is also important because that means that Canada saw the Germany as a threat. They believed that France and Britain couldn’t handle it on their own. So, the declaration was important because it says many things about the country of Canada and what they believe in on their own.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements because I don’t just make judgements out of the blue off nothing. I need to have some form of information to base my judgements and decisions on. Sometimes I do make judgements on things out of the blue, but it’s usually based on a gut feeling, so that isn’t really based of nothing. My judgments may be based on a lot of evidence or not a lot of evidence but there is evidence involved with the judgements that I make. 

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

I look for personal relationships that both confirm and challenges my beliefs, values and ideas. I think that if I have relationships with people that are all like me there is going to be no change in opinion and now view from a different one. If I have all relationships with people opposite of me then I don’t have someone to relate to and I’d be defending my opinions all the time. I think it’s good to have people that are like you and that aren’t like you so then you can see different points of view, but you can also have someone that agrees with you. So, I look for relationships with people that are both similar and not similar to me, I believe it helps me to grow a bigger mindset and have people to lean on.  

I can initiate actions that bring me joy and satisfaction by choosing what relationships I have and who I have them with. If I find a person who I really like hanging out with whether they are similar to my or not I am bringing myself joy by hanging out with them. If I find a person who I don’t like hanging out with or feel they aren’t a good person for me to be around then I am bringing myself joy by not hanging out with them. I recognize the role I play in my well-being because there is usually no one else to blame but myself. Other people can’t control whether I am happy or not so why should I blame them for my well-being.
