Core Competency Reflection

1. Communication:

• Throughout this project I effectively gave Emily ideas on what information we could put on our project, so I was in charge of finding information that went a long with information that Emily found.

• To find my information i searched a lot on google and then i double checked my socials notes so that none of my research was incorrect.

2. Critical Thinking:

• I would say that doing a project on Marie Antoinette was quite simple and it was also quite simple to check that my information was correct because of the knowledge i had about her from doing The French Revolution unit in social studies.

• One challenge we did face was trying to connect Marie Antoinette to French 9 and not just make our whole project a social studies research project, but in the end we connected her palace to rooms in a house.

3. Personal & Social Awareness:

• Learning about Marie Antoinette was not new knowledge but a perspective i did gain was how i could connect her to French, how i didn’t know what she was saying in her quotes which were in French, but now i know because of taking the course of French9

• I definitely did not want to keep this project too formal while writing information, so i wanted to be more like myself when talking about her “let them eat cake” quote or how everything was connected to French 9.

4. Creative Thinking:

• The creativity in this project by me and Emily i would say is very bold, not too bold but we tried to make our poster as neat and aesthetic as possible and i would say our poster turned out very chic.

• If I did this project again, i would definitely make a video instead of a poster, because we’ve all seen posters here and there but a creative video with editing would have been even more creative.
