Spanish 11 Core Competency Self-Assessment

The artifact I chose is my Comida project where I learned and explained Jugo de Naranjilla, or Naranjilla juice.

I demonstrated Communication by creating a visually appealing presentation to explain what my food item was, and by presenting this project I demonstrated my ability to explain ideas to others in Spanish. Ms. Alvarez allowed me to present to her alone due to my anxiety which really helped, but because I was still nervous I spoke very fast, which created some errors as I was not used to pronouncing words at that speed.

I demonstrated Critical-Thinking in this project by researching about my food and understanding its significance for the cultures that use it. I also asked for help when I needed it and used all the resources that I had access to. During this project I learned a lot about my food and learned about Spanish sentence structure more than I already have.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this project when after researching multiple topics with little results, I decided to do a well documented thing to study as it would be easier to get the information needed. Surprisingly, finding accurate data’s for country populations is difficult because it has to little data recorded.

ยท I seek, develop and weigh options as demonstrated by choosing the topic to study, as I had already started creating the presentation for the original topic, but after weighing my options I realized that it would make more sense to do a slightly easier topic and restart then waste time on a bad final product.

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include finding reliable websites, for this topic there are many as i previously mentioned it is a well documented time period. My other strategy is called “spending hours researching and fact checking to make sure i use reliable data” and you will never guess what it entails. The day we decided on this topic I went home and worked on the research for about 3 hours just to make sure it was reliable.

As an active listener, I notice that I connect things that I hear to topics that I am interested in. An example of this is earlier in the semester when I asked about 3D graphing after discovering the new option in Desmos. In my Chemistry class I also ask many questions because the topics interest me.
