Fiji Around The World Project
Core Competency Reflection
Communication Competency
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my Earth Science project on Fiji. I created a visually engaging PowerPoint that explained Fiji’s volcanic activity, plate tectonics, and environmental challenges. I used images, and clear informative paragraphs, making sure it was both informative and easy to understand.
Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency
I used to think Fiji was just a tropical vacation spot, and now I know it’s also a geologically region with a lot of Earth science significance, like its location on the Pacific Plate and exposure to natural hazards.
Personal Awareness and Responsibility
Some short-term goals for myself include improving my time management so I don’t leave projects to the last minute. I plan to achieve this by setting earlier deadlines for myself. That way, I can lower stress and produce higher quality work.
Goal
One goal I have going forward is to seek, develop my options as demonstrated by how I chose to present my project. I considered doing a written report or poster but realized a PowerPoint would better show images. Going forward, I want to keep thinking carefully about how I present ideas.
