Some short/ long term goals with my digital spaces include unfollowing lots of people who could possibly impact my experience and keeping my screen time limit down every day. My plan to achieve them is thinking about past experiences with these people and checking to see if I even know them. I can also check in with people I know to see if they know about anyone who I am following before I unfollow them. Another way I can achieve this is to go out and do new things while also doing the things I enjoy.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are playing games we all enjoy or making sure that I find a way to make conversations with them whenever I feel it is not lively. I have shown this before by sparking conversations about certain topics that I know we all have interest in and then we talk for like 30 minutes afterwards.
I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as scrolling on social medias, talking to online friends, and being apart of conflicts influenced my choice of course/hobbies/ teams because I have found my hobbies by scrolling on social media and getting a video on my recommended that I enjoy or that I could see myself liking in the future. My online friends have also contributed to my hobbies because it was something they enjoyed as well.

The topic of my brochure is about the character Adora from the show “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power”. It talks about her background, friends and foes, other media she has showed up in and some quotes that have been said in the show.
Core competencies I have demonstrated
I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way.
I persevere with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals, learning and behavior.
I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others.
Listening to music or talking it out with somebody.
Unsure if its a one-sided friendship or not
Talk to somebody about the situation or go out and doing something I enjoy. Also reflecting on certain topics helps me.
Part 2:
Whenever I got too much school work, it would feel as if I did something wrong and I would have to spend all my free time working on something I didn’t want to do. One of the many (and most reliable) ways I could be able to finish my work is to listen to music I enjoy and finish my work while listening to the music since it helps me calm down and focus on what I am doing. Friendships, for me, are sometimes hard to decipher, and whenever I can’t tell if somebody has a mutual friendship feeling for me I will tend to overthink the situation and become stressed. To solve my stress, I can always rely on talking to something or going out and doing something I feel will keep my mind off the whole situation for the time-being until I am ready to solve it.
Core Competency Reflection
I think about what I am going to convey and to whom I will convey it to.
I chose this because I have to think about what I will talk about with somebody before ranting about it. It helps me to gain ideas before I actually begin to talk to somebody.
I work to inform myself about issues surrounding me.
I chose those because I am aware of what is going on around me and what is causing me to feel stressed. This helps me to be aware and will help me to figure out how I can become less stressed or how to work towards becoming less stressed in a few steps.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements.
I chose this because I am able to analyze important details to help me make a final judgement on what is making me stressed or what I believe is contributing to my stress. This statement helps me to make final conclusions and change my thought process before I can start doing my coping methods.
I can reflect on my thinking.
I chose this because reflecting on my thinking helps me cope and helps me to figure out newer ways that could help me to resolve my stress. It helps me make new conclusions and also calm down in the process of making conclusions.
The theme of my E-Card is Valentines’ Day. I chose this theme because it was February and Valentines’ Day was only a couple days ago from when I started the assignment. I believe the message of my E-Card was to tell somebody how much you are thinking of them and to wish them “Happy Valentines’ Day!”.
What core competencies did you demonstrate with the E-Card Assignment?
I believe I have used the Creative Thinking competency, the Communicating competency, and the Personal Awareness and Responsibility competency while doing my E-Card assignment. I think this because I have shown a message in my E-Card with words and spreading the message in my E-Card (communicating). I have also thought of and used new and creative ideas in my assignment and I believe I have shown pride and joy in what I have made (creative thinking and personal awareness and responsibility).
A family of 4 needs a meal plan that will fit in with their weekly activities. The plan needs to include what they are having for dinner, who is cooking the dinner, how much is being made and what time they are cooking/eating at. There are requirements the meal plan must meet though, which includes having every family member cook at least once, having one new recipe, having at least the correct amount of servings, and dinner should be served when everybody is home.

Dinner Time
Start cooking at around 6:05 and begin eating at around 6:25-6:30pm.
Start cooking at around 6:05 and begin eating at around 6:20pm.
Start cooking at around 5:30-6:00 and begin eating at around 6:15-6:45pm.
Start cooking at around 5:30 and begin eating at around 6:05-6:10pm.
Start cooking at around 6:15 and begin eating at around 7:00pm.
Justification:
On Monday, Teen 2 will cook two full recipe servings of Grilled Cheese. This is a good choice because Teen 2 has the least experience in the family and it would easier to give them a recipe where they would have less troubles on instead of giving them a harder recipe and making them cook it later in the week. 6:05pm is also a good time to start cooking at because the only evening activity is at 8pm.
On Tuesday, Teen 1 will cook a full recipe serving of Black Bean Tacos. This is a good choice because they have no evening activities that day and it is an easier recipe for Teen 1 to cook because they may not have as much experience as the parents and the taco recipe is a short and easy recipe to do. It also fits the evening schedule of Teen 2 because of their evening activity at 7:30pm.
On Wednesday, Parent B will cook a full recipe serving of Chicken Noodle Soup. The two extra servings of this recipe will be for Teen 1 and Teen 2’s lunch the next day. This is a good choice because Parent B has nothing else to do for the rest of the week and it is better for one of the parents to cook the bigger meals that serve more people. Parent B also comes home earlier than Parent A so we decided that since that is the case we would let Parent B cook on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Teen 1 and Parent A will cook a full recipe serving of Vegetable Pad Thai. This is a good choice because Teen 1 has less experience, and since Parent A will be home early, they can help Teen 1 cook because Pad Thai is a harder/more skilled recipe than the other recipes. This choice also fits into the schedule of Parent B’s evening activity of 7:30pm.
On Friday, Parent A will cook a full recipe serving of Farmhouse Chicken Dinner. This is our new recipe for the week. This is a good choice because it is a Friday, and Farmhouse Chicken Dinner is great for that week! It is also a more skilled and bigger recipe, so we decided that one of the parents cooking would be better.
Our group communicated in many ways. We first started to talk in our document and separate channel on Teams, but at the end we were talking face to face and able to communicate on who was doing what task for our meal plan chart and how were going to finish the chart as well. As said before, we used Microsoft Teams to communicate for a while before talking a bit in our meal planning document. We mostly used our laptops to communicate electronically, but I think that being face to face and being able to properly communicate together helped us to be able to finish our planning sheet and move onto the next step. We asked questions about what we were going to put in our own sections and if we needed to make large or small changes to the chart. Technology was hard for us to communicate on, so I hope we continue to talk in a group together face to face more this semester.
The tasks were divided in our group by communicating and figuring out who wanted a certain date first. We gave tasks to the people who wanted a certain task before giving the rest of the tasks out afterwards. One person gave the task that they wished to do, and then another person, and then whatever was leftover we’d discuss who was going to do it and then distributed it afterwards. My task was to figure out who was doing what on Monday and on Thursday for the meal plan. By looking on the group planning document, you can see our listed tasks and below, you can see the chart. Monday and Thursday are filled out and I was also able to help out some of my group members with what they were writing.
Self Assessment: Collaboration and Critical Thinking
Some of the things I thought about before dividing tasks among our group members was who is more of a participant in the group and who has paid less attention to the project than others. I felt like figuring that out was helpful to how the days of the plan would be divided up and I also thought about how they would do their role as well.
I know the group is working well together when I hear questions about the assignment and see others in my group beside each other sharing their screens and helping each other with problems or issues they may have with their task.
I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is working individually on my own task and listening in to my group member’s conversations to hear what issues they may be having so that I can try to help them as well, and maybe I can even learn a thing or two from helping them as well. I also try to add in enough information so that it is understandable and meets the requirements for the assignment.
I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I feel stressed about a part of the assignment where I am unsure on what to do. I try to get advice and think about the thing I am worried about a little bit more before coming to a conclusion on what I should change or what I should do to try and solve my situation if I can not come to a good conclusion.
This visual representation reflects the Core Competency: Personal/Social and how I grew in that competency in English 9 because of how I was able to keep my focus and be able to boost my mood whenever I feel down or anxious in the situation that I am in. The words shown represent my thoughts. I chose to symbolize my thoughts as a woman (or a person) because it represents me and how I can react and help myself to feel happy and calm after noticing I am feeling a different emotion.
AN EXAMPLE FROM ENGLISH 9:
My English 9 example is from my Creative Story Assignment, my partner and I created a picture book about a girl who is unable to show her emotions and is soon able to overcome her issue. This was apart of our short story unit, and we learnt about conflicts, climaxes, setting, and more! To read it, go to this link:
Introducing “The Cover Umbrella”! This umbrella isn’t like any other umbrella, it’s wider and covers more of your face so that you don’t have to worry about any of your hair or any of your head accessories getting ruined while walking or going to your daily activities. The Cover Umbrella also has enough space for you to share with a friend or colleague! So, if you ever see somebody walking alone on a rainy day with no umbrella, why not welcome them into your Cover Umbrella? They’ll enjoy some company, and feel a feeling of kindness as well! I don’t expect lots of people to invest in my product, but we do online orders and offline orders as well! New customers have a special deal of 30% percent off if they’re interested in this product.
Core Competency Reflection
I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way by using graphics and giving brief and simple details on what it’s purpose, main idea, and special details are. This ties in with the PowerPoint and poster portion of my assignment because I was able to share info about my product and show graphics of what I have to offer as well. I was able to gain knowledge about this product that I have created and use it to expand on my assignment.
I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself by appreciating what I have created and adding onto it to add more detail and special features to make myself even prouder. I wouldn’t add too much, though, since that would overcrowd my work and make myself less proud. I was able to do this while making my advertisement poster and getting positive feedback from friends and peers around me.
I can apply constructive strategies to navigate misunderstandings and conflicts by thinking of new strategies and ideas that can replace my old thought-up ideas. I can also do this by asking others for support and ideas, and taking those ideas to higher levels to make my work look good. This happened after I submitted my plan, and came back the next day to have to make a new, updated plan with a totally different path I had to go down. I changed from a place advertisement to a product advertisement because of the multiple parts of the place advertisement I would’ve had to manage and how much more that would have been on me.
I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others by speaking up to others and gaining new knowledge on the things they have done for the assignment. I can also gain ideas on the internet from real people and use what they have done to add onto my work. This also ties into the PowerPoint and poster portion because of the graphics AND text I put into both things. I showed off multiple offers and tweaked them to fit the vibe I was going for, same with the PowerPoint as I have showed some graphics and new ideas I had generated in my head and introduced into my product throughout the creating process.
This infographic above shows that I can connect how I see myself through the Positive Personal and Cultural Identity. It shows this by giving information about myself that shows that I know myself and things about myself that may be different or similar to others that I may or may not know.
