Communication: In this assignment I represented how I can connect my learning into school work and hands on activites.
Thinking: I can analyze evidence to make judgements. Topics or concepts for which I can offer detailed feedback or analysis include specific details.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some things I learned about are the four Ps of marketing and how much impact they have on someone’s company and brand. How pricing affects your whole brand image and overall customer status. And, how many little things in your store can improve your sales drastically.
I worked on collaborating as this was a group project and we had a group conscience. In my group, I encouraged others to voice their opinions and thoughts. I communicated by sharing my learning in an organized and detailed way.
My values around consent and permission inform my decisions about posting things of my friends and family that will not embarrass them or hurt their reputation or feelings. My strengths as a digital citizen include being private and safe. They contribute to my community by not giving my location of friends or family. By only commenting positive things online, I make a positive difference to my peers.
In this project, I demonstrated communication in my group. I showed I can communicate for a purpose by staying on task with my group and redirection my partners when they fall off task. I listen and respond to others and consider their ideas instead of my own.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In my advertisement, we are advertising a new and fresh subscription to the people of The Capitol. Our advertisement uses ethical appeal, we included a quote from a well-known person in The Capitol. We also have included a revel of the wig quiz that implies that what your order will be curated to what you want, people will also want these because it talks about how they are “inspired by the tributes from the games. This is big because they are celebrated in The Capitol. One big technique in this advertisement is bandwagon. It implies you are not a true wiggy until you subscribe to our box. This is the first thing your eyes are drawn to because it’s big and bright. We also use card stacking at the bottom. Giving numbers telling people that the wig has more volume for example. Something else is a special offer. Talking about how it’s “just” thirty-nine dollars a month. Testimonial/Famous people say, is when we gave the Effie Trinket quote.
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include talking in a clear and encouraging way. Generating ideas and thinking about how I may be wrong helped me grow in especially looking for looking about flaws in my own ideas. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when we were designing the poster. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are being calm and collecting when there is a disagreement or conflict.
I demonstrated Communication because I can understand and share information of interest in a clear, organized way. I also inquire into and present topics of interest and topics related to my studies. I also demonstrated Thinking because I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them.
