My Centaurs Digital Portfolio
One thing I’ve learnt in Socials 10 is that I’m better at managing my time. There are many assignments due at once, and when I put off one, I usually put off others as well. However, I’ve learnt to complete things immediately so that I won’t have to worry about them later.
This school year has had its ups and downs. Some things that has gone well for me are, Keeping up with all my assignments, having a reasonably balanced schedule and having my friends in my classes.
G O A L S — A C T I O N P L A N
Time Management – Make sure I’m not studying for tests the day before or at the last minute.
Asking for help when needed – I’m going to try my best the following year to seek my teacher for assistance whenever I need it.
I appreciate feedback on my work during and after I have handed in assignments. Feedback helps me to develop and receive a higher grade the next time. When I don’t perform my best on a project, I often find it difficult to accept critique, but in the end, it improves my work moving forward. Feedback also boosts motivation and confidence because it lets you know when you’re on the right track
When I need to boost my mood or re- focus,I pause for a moment to assess, take a short rest, and then resume working. Whenever I become distracted while working, I’m frequently stressed out or tired. In that situation, I might take a brief break to check my phone or eat a small snack before attempting to re focus
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are communication. When your on the same page as people your relationship is better and even fun. As well as helping others because you can both learn and help each other.
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is Trigonometry. At first it was a little difficult to understand the concept of it but that more we learnt it the easier trig got.
Example of where I have communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in group or partner work. I work a lot with my friend at my desk and we communicate a lot which makes the class a lot easier.
Communication
Film class involves a lot of partner or group work, which means one must communicate with others. For my core competency I chose Communication. The three projects I have finished this far involved a lot of communication because a project is better off with more ideas as well as its a lot easier if your on the same path as your partner.
I really enjoyed film class this semester, what made the class a lot easier and enjoyable was having my friends in the class and working together.
We all communicated nicely with one another as a group. We all worked together to complete the project. We discussed the material we wished to research in our communication. We had to research and discuss the energy source of our choosing for the project; our group settled on wind energy. Each of us selected the subject under which we wished to find the material, and we also helped one another when we ran into problems. We all collaborated on the project, which made it much easier for me.
This is the outline of out project, after a lot more information and color it looked a lot better. We all did study on wind energy and learnt a lot about I learned that wind energy is very helpful in day to day life. Even though we didn’t have to present the project it was very nice working in a group with those people, everybody took part and it looked great.
I’ve learned this unit that nutrition and a healthy lifestyle is really important to your physical and even metal health. Everyone has different diets, some really healthy and some not as much. Even just thinking about diets, one thing I don’t do is eat breakfast. Is it necessarily a good thing? The reason I don’t eat breakfast on school day is because it makes me sick eating so early in the morning, but this unit has taught me that breakfast gives you strength and energy to start your day. Then comes nutrition, its good to have a balanced diet, that makes you feel good and energized throughout the day. Having a well diet is also good for your mental health because knowing that you are not snacking all day can make you feel better.
I find it easy to be part of a group
– I actually enjoy group work because your hearing other opinions then yours, different perspectives to understand the key points to make the work better. I also like working with friends because its fun and you get to do projects together
I am kind to others, and support others when they need it.
– Everybody needs help at least once, speaking for my self as well. If someone is struggling in class and I understand what we are doing I will try my best to help them. Even if I don’t understand what I’m doing, we could try and figure it out the problem together.
I participate in classroom or group activities that improve the class, school, or community.
– I try to participate in classroom activities as much as I can, I also enjoy listening to class discussion because it helps me understand and improve on my learning.
