Positive Learner Identity

Laylia # # #

An example of when I have used doing hands-on activities to help me successfully complete an assignment, was when I made breakfast at home for my family. The assignment was for my Food Studies 12 class. It was an assignment where had to make a breakfast meal at home for my whole family, I made them a shakshuka which is something that my family wouldn’t normally eat. this learning strength helped me to be successful because I had to use my knife skills in the kitchen in order to make this for my family.

Making and Sharing Reflection

I was able to identify appropriate tools, technologies and technics that were needed in order for the production to run smoothly. When creating food product, I am able to incorporate feedback from self and others. That way when I plan on making it again, I can do things a little differently than how I did it the first time. When deciding on how and with whom I’m going to share finished product with. I will most likely share it with my family. They are the ones who are the most excited to try my cooking and give me their honest feedback and thoughts on the food.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I introduce myself. i also ask a few questions to get to know the other person better.

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by asking questions when i need clarification on a step in the recipe. i also help out my peers when they need it.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to ask for a third opinion on the topic. That way our group does not disrupted the rest of the class.

INTERVIEW essay

My Paper

The Writing Process

For my interview essay I chose to interview my grandpa. His decision to move to Canada or stay in his home country Fiji. Something that I learned when I was interviewing him was when he first came here it was hard for him to get settled into a home and getting used to the change of weather was also hard for him. He also told me thatI should always have a back up plan for any decisions that I make in the future. A challenge that i was faced with was that i kept having to go back and ask my grandfather more questions. Something that i will do in the future to prevent this is i will ask him more question at once instead of having to go back and ask him.

Core Competency Reflection

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include listening to others and asking questions.

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by asking follow up questions when interviewing people.

Evidence that I can acquire information about complex and specialized topics from various sources, synthesize it, and present it with thoughtful analysis can be found in The body of my essay.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen throughout my essay.
