Inquiry Reflection

My Inquiry project was about the science behind adrenaline and if it can ever be a bad thing. Something I enjoyed about the process of the project was having the freedom to research what I wanted and being able to change my ideas many times. What I liked about the result was that it was fun and easy to share. I worked really hard to create a PowerPoint that was simple and easy to follow and I enjoyed having the opportunity to share it with other people. Something I learned while researching this project was all the negative effects that adrenaline can have on a person’s body over a long period of time. I knew the basics of what happens during an adrenaline rush and why they sometimes happen but I had no idea on what could happen over time.

Core Competency Reflection

For this project I focused on the communication and thinking competencies. I started my project with the plan to present it at some point and I did. I wanted to focus on the thinking competencies also because my project was science and researched based on an idea that I came up with. I grew in the communications competency by presenting the project to other people because I practiced and did a practice presentation and built on my skills. I grew in the thinking competency by researching and fine tuning my project. I worked on my research skills and my summary skills so I think I grew in that area.

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.

My Artifact

The last leaf assignment.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

I feel like I grew in my story telling skills during this course. The artifact that I chose is the last leaf assignment which we had to write a backstory about a character of our choosing. I think that over the course my writing skills have improved. I was a lot of fun being able to write story. One of the best assignments that we got to do was write our own skit and then perform it. It was a lot of fun and it was a great opportunity to be creative.

Core Competencies Reflection

For my Core Competencies Reflection I chose the thinking competency. I think that I showed thinking by coming up with a solid backstory that made sense to the character I chose. I also showed thinking by helping to write the skit we created and making sure that it made sense. Next time I want to improve on getting it done faster. It took long time to finish both of the assignments and next time I want to finish them faster.
