Core Competency Reflection

Positive Learner Identity

Taking clear notes, is very important to me because it keeps me organized and helps me manage my work making it easy to find. When I take clear notes I can look back on it makes it easier to take in the information and easier to understand, not only, but I don’t waste time trying to find a topic as all my notes are categorized.


Reflection

I used my note taking skills in science class and socials class the most, I spent time writing short formed notes on each topic with the topic underlined making it easy to find. Because I didn’t write to much about each topic it made it easier to understand and remember. I did this with topics such as World War One/two, chemistry, biology, physic and climate change.

Core Competency

In Mr Peterson metal 11, we are currently doing the metal box. To make the metal box, we use the iron worker and cut up the metal, then we tack the sides together getting a 90 degree angle. Once marked we weld the sides and then grind it down. I so far have no made any mistakes and am comfortable with welding. I did I have a few problems with having 90 degree angles but over all wasn’t that bad.

Core Competencies

Communicating

I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener-

I am able to ask questions, for the novel study project where I had to make a map and write the importance of each section of the map I had to ask many questions. One of the questions, were asking for the criteria on how to do each section of this project. I want to improve with when i ask questions that I am writing down everything that answered the question.

Positive Learning Identify

Asking a question –

I am able to ask questions when I need help, with math, English, etc. I am able to take the steps it takes to understand my work. I am able to learn well when asking for help, I ask for help when I’m un sure of how to do something, or need guidance with something. In English i ask many questions about what the criteria may be for certain projects. In the project I’m doing now on my novel study my job is to go to my teacher and ask her for the criteria.

Nail Salon Linear Equation

A nail salon charges a flat rate per new set of nails. Plus an additional cost per design, they charge $86 for a set with 2 extra designs, its $99 for a set with 3 extra designs.

A) Write a linear equation in function notation to represent this scenario.

B) If my set ended up costing 125.00, how many extra designs did I get?

Self Assessment Section:

Creative Thinking – I love getting my nails done and love getting designs done. I chose this picture because its a picture of my friends nails when we got them done, I love the gems and the shade of green. The gems was a extra design that she got.

Critical Thinking – My information is the rough amount I pay for a acrylic set. I made sure my calculations were the same to what my salon charges me. To get a deeper French tip that is harder to do, making it a extra 10-15 dollars, which is a extra design. For my current set I have a glitter line on each nail which cost me a extra 10-15 dollars. I made sure my calculations would work by making sure each extra design would be worth the same value.
