My Artifact

My Learning

For this assignment, I had to use creative thinking skills, as well as critical knowledge of grammar and sentence structure to write an alternate ending to Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”. Doing this assignment taught me a deeper understanding of the play, since I had to revisit characters and their motives, as well as look at the events of the play to write a logical ending. It taught me more about writing since the best way to improve on it is to get more experience doing it, it taught me when to separate paragraphs when writing in the style of a novel, and it also taught me more about spelling and punctuation overall.

Core Competency Reflection

“An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… ”

This entire assignment was a way for me to build off of Shakespeare’s already written story and then put my own twist on it. I had to look at what he wrote and why, and I made sure to not make too many changes to the previous acts of the play because I wanted to keep as much of the original as possible and just add my own ending.

“An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is… ”

I have spent a lot of time learning about this play. We began with learning a bit of the author’s history, then dove into reading the play both out loud as a class and silently on our own. We also watched a movie adaptation, I completed a number of assignments about Macbeth, and there was also a test on the play.

Critical Thinking

My Artifact: Novel Poster

“I can tell the difference between facts and interpretations, opinions, and judgments”

I can tell the difference between those three things when reading a book. I also understand that what I wrote about the book is my own interpretation, and not necessarily the “right” or “wrong” way of understanding it. I made sure to include actual facts, such as direct quotes from the book, and I also have opinions on what I believe were the three major themes and created some images that represented them to me.

CPR Reflection

My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

A: Something that I learned was how to properly perform CPR. I knew about chest compressions before, but know I actually know the amount of pressure and speed needed, as well as the ratio of the number of compressions to the number of chin tilt breaths.

B: A key takeaway of this unit for me is that everybody should have a knowledge of CPR to help save as many lives as we can.

C: This unit connects to our previous nutrition unit because they both concern health. There’s also things to do with nutrition that can lead to higher or lower chances of going into cardiac arrest.

Core Competency Reflection

“In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by… “

I do this by asking lots of questions with my fellow classmates to make sure I am on the same page as everyone else. I also answer other people’s questions when I can.

“One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was… “

I would have to say that the entire unit stimulated my thinking about just how important it is to be trained should the moment arrive where someones life is in crisis.

“In this unit, I am proud that I accomplished …. By ….”

I am proud of my mark on the written test. I felt a lot more confident when doing the assessment of actually performing CPR on a doll and using an AED, but luckily the test went well and I was able to remember almost all of the technical information.

My Story

A part of my story.

Core Competency Reflection

“When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I …. to help calm myself or create space in my mind to…”

When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I take a little break from writing to help calm myself or create space in my mind to continue working later on.

“When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I… to advance the development of my ideas.”

When faced with ambiguity or setbacks, I take some deep breaths and think happy thoughts.

“One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is…”

One strategy that stimulates my imagination is thoughtful breathing and stepping away from the computer sometimes.

My goal would have to be to have “an area of writing in which I feel confident to develop new ideas”.

To achieve my goal, I will focus on specific areas of writing and work on them until one in specific stands out to me and I can feel confident in my ability in it.
