My Project

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… 

I find it helpful to come up with different ideas, sometimes my partner and I didn’t approve of each other’s ideas so we both came up with different ideas and decide on one of them.

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include… 

I usually just decide by fairness, I try to make sure everybody does roughly the same amount of work.

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by… 

Trying to listen to what everybody has to say is hard because of all the mixed opinions, I try to acknowledge all feedback I receive. I show I value others feedback by fixing the issue, if my partner or group members disagree with something shown or said in our project, we will all agree on a correction.

I try to include missing voices/ perspectives by… 

I like to have a time where everybody expresses how they feel about how the project is going and if they believe there should be changes made. Asking if anybody had any ideas is also a way, I try to include everyone.

One Goal

My goal for the rest of this school year and the next few to come, is to use my time efficiently. Recently I have not been using my class time wisely, I am often talking to my friends instead of doing my work. The slacking leads to me having a lot of homework, which then over piles and I can no longer keep up. As a result, I have created the goal of using my time efficiently. I can achieve this goal by shutting out my friends when it is work time, putting away my phone, and think about what consequences will happen if i decide to not work in class.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

When buying a product, it is important to understand that the company is usually the one who benefits. Say an ad says buy one get one free, the company may be losing money but overall, they are still making a bunch of profit.

An easy way to persuade people these days is by using ethical persuasion, with social media selling products is simple. Especially in the beauty industry, little kids will buy anything that an influencer recommends. For example, a popular beauty influencer right now is Katie Fang. Other influencers and kids often buy products in her skincare and makeup routine.

I believe that bandwagon is a good way of advertising, with multiple people wanting to “fit in with the crowd.” using words like “world’s best” is an easy way to convince potential buyers that they will fit in if they have it. As I mentioned in my last little sentence, everybody wants to buy or have what beauty influencers recommend because they want to fit in with them.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to… communicate what each person was in charge of working on. I made sure to my part and asked my partners if they had finished their parts. If they did not finish, I would encourage them and suggest everybody go into flex to work on it.

When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to… come up with different ideas that everybody liked. Even though my group didn’t really disagree with anything, when coming up with what our product would do, I disagreed with an idea one of my partners had made.

When my group was not productive, we all decided to book flex in order to get things moving in the right direction. Since one of my group members was away there was a period of time where we didn’t work on anything. We had time over the weekend as well, but we all had other projects to work on. After we noticed when the project was due me and my group booked every flex we could together to work on and finish our project.

Is violence justified during a protest or revolution?

A) AI helped me with this project by using its artificial intelligence to answer my questions

B) I rewrote the words of the AI so that they are my own, same message different words used.

C) It depends, I do think that violence could be justified as a last resort. Overall, though using your words over violence is better.

Core Competency Reflection 

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include searching it up online, usually when I have an idea about what a pro might be for using violence. I searched it up to see if maybe some others would agree.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to talk even though I am usually shy with people I don’t know. I just necessary questions to get the project over with.

My First Year

My Grade 9 Year

This year I enjoyed making new friends, I met a lot of new people this school year and I befriended them. I am glad I did because they make going to school so much better. One thing I haven’t enjoyed this year though is the amount of work and assignments. I am definitely not used to having so many at one time and having to study for multiple tests all at once. I’ve been finding high school difficult, at the start of the year I was very motivated to learn and get good grades but ever since winter break I’ve lost some of my dedication and drive. I am working on trying to keep motivated and keep up with my assignments and get this school year over with. Overall I did enjoy my grade 9 year and I am glad I got to experience it with my friends.

A Useful Educational Website

ZoteroBib: Fast, free bibliography generator – MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard citations (zbib.org)

I chose this website because it has helped me with my edublog at the start of the year. When we had to site our work.

A Useful Educational Video

I watched this video one time during math when we were reviewing our fractions. It helped me understand more on what to do when adding mixed fractions.

A Useful Educational Image

 I used this photo for an assignment for foods 10. It helped me get completion marks so that is why I decided to use it.

An Inspirational Quote

“You never fail until you stop trying” – Albert Einstein, Florence Griffith Joyner, Thomas Edison.

I decided to pick this quote because it reminds me that you shouldn’t give up. You have to keep trying to succeed.
