When receiving feedback from my teacher and classmates I communicated my understanding in a progressive way. I also communicated them to go deeper into their feedback and show me how I can make it better. When I gave feedback to my classmates, I made sure to communicate in a constructive and uplifting tone. I wanted to also point out things that they did an excellent job of.

English 9 Final Reflection
My Artifact
Curricular Competencies Reflection
In this course I really challenged my communication skills through public speaking, visual presentations, and writing. I always tried to make my paragraphs as perfect as can be, by planing my ideas and having a production plan before I started my final copy. In this assignment specifically I demonstrated connection skills to ads we’ve seen in the past, and comprehension from the Hunger Games book to show our true understanding.
Core Competencies Reflection
Creative Thinking: Others find my feedback useful because I provide a new solution rather than shutting others ideas down. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is having all ideas infant of me to work around and expand on. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is adding colours and new fonts to there advertising technique.

Chicken Souvlaki and Greek Rice
Making and Sharing Reflection
I make a step-by-step plan for production by talking with my group members, taking notes, and asking the teacher questions. I can identify tools, technologies, materials, and processes for production. This helps me because I can quickly know when and what to use it for. I work collaboratively and individually well, while I read through my recipe and plan in my head, then deliver my ideas to my group members.
Core Competency Reflection
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include asking questions to my teacher or students. As an active listener, I notice other questions my peers ask so I don’t need to ask the same one. I show others that I truly value their contributions by applauding and thanking them while also creating a team and inclusive environment. I need to work on collaborating better with people i dont know to prepare me for the world.
Core Competency Self Assessment
Social Awareness and Responsibility – Musical Theatre
My favourite aspects of creating the show this year were dancing and spending time during show week with all of my peers. Staying out late for rehearsals caused a lot of stress in my social and academic life. In the creation of this production, I learned a lot about myself and how I can react and overcome changes in my schedule. Next year I wish to come into this production with a more positive attitude as I really enjoyed it this year.

Favourite Recipe
Breakfast Hash
Making and Sharing Reflection
In my class, we learned about minimizing food waste. One of the main ways is to eat what we make. Part of this class is expanding our food pallet and trying new things is a really good strategy to minimize food waste. something else is we took certain amounts of certain things. For example, maybe we weren’t feeling that hungry so we only took so many potatoes to incorporate into our hash. Lastly, people who didn’t like certain parts of the hash didn’t eat that part so that everyone can have some and there can be zero waste.
Core Conpetency Reflection
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to have constant communication while we cook. Also, having conversations and asking questions before we start cooking are very important. While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by trying new things and learning from others. I go in with an open mindset and am always ready to learn something new. I know the group is working well together when I hear/see people listening to each other in a respectful manner and paying attention to people. When people ask questions this also has an effect on the group. Something I am working on is showing I truly value people’s contributions, I can often have a blank face and need to work on letting people know they’re doing a good job and I appreciate their contribution.
Capitol Mutation Collaborative Project
My Project
Public Speaking
So far in this semester, I’ve picked up on some very impactful public speaking skills. I learned about speaking to the room instead of just the teachers and working with my group to make sure everyone is prepared for the presentation on knowing when to speak so there are no awkward pauses. Something that makes a good speaker is someone who is, clear and slow with their words. A good speech is interesting and keeps you present with the topic. it should also allow you to reflect on the topic in your own life. A good audience member doesn’t need to enjoy the speech but needs to be present.
Collaborating Core Competency Reflection
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to have a clear and organized conversation periodically. this ensures everyone is on the same page. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I listen to new ideas and views on different topics. I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by going around periodically asking people and checking upon them. If I notice disagreements, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by resetting and referring resources such as the criteria sheet, rubric, or adults in the room. I can play a role in collectively monitoring the progress of the group and adjust my contributions as needed by doing daily check-ups and asking questions to my group members.
