Communication

This entire script is full of communication, with all of us going through it and making the script well. We had to talk about this script and make sure we all agreed on the right words to use. During the presentation we had to talk Infront of the class. We had to think together and bounce ideas off of each other.

My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before? 

I did not consider that they have changed the rules of CPR and there are no breathing into the mouth.

What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit? 

My take away is that CPR can help in many situations but may not revive the person every time.

How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?  

This unit connected by explaining about how eating healthier and have a good diet can reduce the risk of heart disease

Core Competency Reflection

COMMUNICATION

You have to use communication when performing CPR to tell people around what to do. Explaining to 911 what has happened and if you revive the person comforting them.

THINKING

You have to think fast when things happen and you have to react fast. When somewhen is having a problem you will have to ask this person if they are alright, call 911 if needed and many other things.

PERSONAL

I can use this unit in my personal life if I need to learning this has really helped me. When your around older people or even your parents you do not know what might happen but this may help.

I believe that I have show some positive attributes, I think one of the biggest one I have shown is getting my work on time

What are some areas that I will require more focus to achieve better results in the future?

I will become more aware of when I am distracted and will stop myself from engaging in bad or not very good behavior in the class. I also think that I could put in some more effort into certain project and put in more time into them.

What have I learned so far that I feel is important to my future?

I think that all of this resume and cover letter learning has benefited me a lot along with how to deal with interviews for jobs.

My goals

When I find that I disagree with someone in my group or discussion, I intend on using these positive strategies, I will ask why they think what they think and then I will say what I think instead. Another one is that I can try and make a compromise and use both of our ideas and make it into one, going forward. 

When I start to fall behind, I will start to ask my teachers how I can better my learning. I will use my lunch time and use my after-school time more effectively on studying and on doing homework. 

Spanish Reflection

I really do think I have improved from knowing Hola and bueno from the chocolate bar to forming sentences I have improved. One thing that surprised me is how similar words can be and then how completely different they would be. The biggest challenge for me is the words that are super different from English are really hard for me to remember.

My Favorite Project

The Mi Horario is my favorite thing I have done in Spanish. Why I am so proud of it is that I put in a lot of effort, and I finished it early so I could make sure I did it all correctly. For this project I had to make a comic strip about my schedule in semester 2. The 2 core competencies I used are communication and creative thinking. For communication is I had to write and draw on my comic strip is what my schedule is and I had to communicate that on it. I used creative thinking for my drawings on the comic, I had to come up with different ideas to draw.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

/

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

I think it’s important to know who the money is going to is, so you know what your money is being used for.

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience

What persuades me on an ad is emotional more than any other kind of ad tactic. I think why it persuades me more is because it attaches me to a product whether it makes me sad or happy.

Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

Special offer is definitely one of the more effective advertising techniques, I think that its effective because it gives people the feeling that they are making money on things regardless of if they need it or not.

Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking – I used creative thinking to make the ad because I had to create something new. I used it to think of things to say and thins to put on it.

Critical and Reflective Thinking – I used critical thinking by putting a green background on the back because I had a red Gatorade and there opposite colours. i also used an orange arrow to symbolize more that its gatorade.

Country Project Presentation Reflection

I think my presentation went well because I put more than what was expected on my power point. I also think that I presented well because I spoke not too fast but not too slow. What I think I could have done better is I could have rehearsed my power point more. One more thing I think I could do is I could have done something different other then a power point. What I will do differently is I will bring something more than a nickel. I don’t think I demonstrated any core competency’s or just not a lot on a certain one.
