Core Competency Reflection

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include asking and finding their strengths and weakness, especially when it comes to getting credible sources and relevant information, on the topic, as well as if they want to talk in front of the class, if that’s what is needed from us as a group.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the shared documents between my partner and I, we worked together to find information to help form our introduction and main point. from there we went our separate ways for our information gathering of our rebuttals but we still continued to work together and we made sure to communicate with each other, updating one another on what we were doing and if we could add stuff to each others information.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see mutual respect for each other, which can either be through group communication, individual communication or taking on jobs they may not have taken on otherwise.

To get more ideas about something I read, watch or listen to music to get more information and form better ideas about the subject. This year I will do the same because it has been working well for me, but I want to read more about certain subjects to get more ideas. 

I like to show my learning in these ways, I like to write down my ideas in a clear concise way which can help me show that I know the material. I also ask the teacher questions to show that i know the topic.  I intend on advocating for myself by using these in my classroom by writing down my ideas and asking the teacher questions. 

My Progress

This year I have learned a lot in French. In Grade 7 all we did was go on duo lingo, after awhile I was able to recognise and spell words but I had no idea how to pronounce anything correctly. I would pronounce things the way I thought just by reading and looking at the words. Grade 8 was a little bit better, we did project but mostly it was people using google to translate sentences.

This year we went over things I had previously learned but I also learned a lot more. we talked in-depth about houses (ex. number of floors, rooms etc.), family, possessive adjectives relating to family and much more. I had some confidence coming into this course but not much, I have improved my skills throughout the semester and have learned a lot more.

I am proud of our French Skit.

My partner and I had to write an original restaurant skit, which includes verbs and adjectives we had previously learned. we were not aloud to have our script written out in French for our presentation. we were only aloud English cue cards, so we had to memorise all our lines. I used my class time well, we shared responsibilities equal between the two of us. I gave Ideas and my partner and I were able to translate them and add more details. we were able to get our script done within 2-3 days after getting the assignment.

Communication was a big part of creating our skit. we communicated our ideas with each other as well as telling each other when one of didn’t like something or wanted to change something. if I was going to make the skit again I would change anything, I like our script, I worked well with my partner and I had fun making and performing it.

                  You have researched the treatment of children in the Industrial Revolution factories and in today’s similar situations called Sweat Shops. To do this, you examined various pictures of the treatment of and factory conditions for children working in factories in poorer countries. You also read about the treatment and conditions in the Gr. 9 Crossroads textbook. Then you read about the views of those treatments and conditions, both pro and con, by the people living in the areas where these treatments and conditions exist. Then you discussed those things and put the cons and your solutions to them. From there, you put three of your thoughts on those things into a protest pamphlet. Now, you are to examine the following core competencies and check off any three you think you have learned, used and accomplished. Put a check mark in the corresponding circle:

             I did ask and respond to questions to be an active and supportive listener.

when we would share our ideas in a group I was able to ask and respond to questions a listen to people question and/or ideas.

              I worked with others to achieve a goal.

I can build off of others ideas and help create a final idea.

               I now understand that my safety in a textile workshop could be tied into how safety is maintained in that workshop environment. 

Making sure that the safety measures they have are up to date and that they know how to work the safety equipment and that none is broken.

               I now understand what is important to me in how I am treated and valued in a work environment and I can explain my values.

I understand how and why I should be treated in a work environment, I can explain why and how I should be treated and why being treated that way is important to me.

               I now understand and can appreciate diverse perspectives on issues and can resolve problems and I can explain my values.

People can have differing views and opinions from myself, by talking and hearing why and how they believe or they think that way I can understand and explain my opinion and appreciate theirs. we can resolve problems you hearing both sides and taking both into consideration.

               I did analyze evidence from the research I did and made judgements.

After seeing and hearing how some of the kids/workers were treated I formed opinions and judgments about their conditions.

               I can now understand and tell, after examining the economic facts of factory production in poorer countries, the dangers to workers in unsafe conditions, the mistreatment of child workers in those factories and the values child workers have in those conditions and treatments, the difference between fact and opinion. 

some people believed people’s opinions of how children and workers were being treated were facts and not just opinion. they thought is someone was saying it, maybe it was a close friend or trusted source, they believed what they were saying was true. some people were saying children weren’t being treated as badly as people believed and that the children were making stuff up. I can tell that children weren’t making anything up and that what they were saying was fact and what some people were saying was just opinion.
