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.
