Core Competency Goals

Malcolm on

Topics or concepts for which I can offer detailed feedback or analysis include: I have some areas where I know more than the people around me or in my class. I will use my knowledge to help them understand the topics correctly, and explain what they mean. When one of my classmates or someone I am working with gives me their work to look over, I will give them helpful feedback and pointers of what they can improve on.

An area of study in which I feel confident to regularly challenge assumptions and develop new ideas: I am strong in math and sometimes will find some harder questions to challenge myself. I will help other students with the work I feel I am confident with and help them get the right answer.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include: I take breaks from my computer and staring at a screen. I stretch after practising drumming for a while. I eat healthy foods and exercise every now and then.

Core Competency Self Assessment

I was in the back right in the percussion section

Social Awareness and Responsibility in CLE 10

I demonstrated social responsibility and social awareness by showing up to the concert on time, waiting for my turn to play, being encouraging top the other people who played before and after me, and doing something to entertain myself that was not distracting or unnecessary when I was not preforming. When I was done performing, I went and watched the other groups perform because they watched my perform and I liked how they all sounded.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy and take pride in my work and myself. All of the band members worked hard practising these songs and pieces for the last concert and we all did a good job for our final performance.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

What are some instrumental or performance techniques and musical skills you have shown success with through this chosen experience? I showed

What are some skills and techniques you would like to improve on and how will you do that? I would like to improve my hand technique and work on using more wrist with my left hand. I will start with some slow rudiments and then work on some scores with more wrist control.

What are your plans for continuing with your music in the future? Right now, outside of school I am the drum sergeant of a really good grade 4 band and will keep playing in that band until I age out at 18. Then I will join a higher grade band and play in either grade 3, 2, or 1.

Core Competencies Reflections

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 this video. I took different rudiments and notes from different grades and levels of playing, and augmented it with the original sheet music. I used my knowledge of notes and pieces to make the music sound a little more interesting on the drumming aspect of things.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I won’t think about something off topic, or something that I played previously because it won’t help me and it may distract me from what I currently playing. I think about what part comes next and anticipate what I am going to play to make it work with the song.

I know that my playing can have both positive and negative consequences, including not making the band or the song we are playing sound as good as it can be, so I adjust my actions and playing to fir the song and not go over the top and I only play what the song needs.

Others find my feedback useful because I give them useful information like what they did well and what they need to improve on. I will tell them good things they did like how well they played and how they can improve.

My favourite project in Drafting

Chief Architect House

a

This was my best and favourite project in drafting 9 because I like doing architecture ion my spare time and use similar software and websites to make my designs. I enjoyed learning how to use the chief architect software because it had a nice UI and was easy to navigate and create projects.

“Health and Wellness Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a short break from my work to have a snack, read a book, build or design something, or play a video game. Then, I will turn everything distracting off and get back to work. Other times I will take a step back and look at where I am on my work, then get started on the next piece.

My Goal For Next Year

My goal for health next is to go to bed at better and earlier times because now I am going to bed at 10 and 11 pm. I am hoping to go to bed at about 8 or 9 pm. I can start doing my work earlier in the day and go ready for bed earlier and get more hours of sleep.

MY TEXTS

CORE COMPETENCY REFLECTION

What are you good at?          

I am good at drumming and architecture and have been working on both for a while.

Describe something you really liked in the work that you did. What made it special for you?

I liked drawing the whole thing because re-sparked my creativity on drawing, and I liked to draw and create al lot in my spare time. I like drawing this bird in particular because it was something new that I hadn’t drawn before.

How have your experiences, family history, heritage and/or peers helped shape who you are today?

These things have helped me and influenced some of my experiences and choices in my life. My experiences and peers have helped me by giving different knowledge and background experience that helps me find what I like to do. My family and heritage have helped me by showing me what others in my family do and like and giving me some idea of what I might like. They have also given me and helped me with making the right decisions and choices.

How do you make good decisions? What influences your decisions?

I make good decisions by taking all the information I can and using it to make an informed decision. The people around me and my peer can sometimes influence my decisions but most of the time I will try to stay as unbiased as I can when making any decisions.  

What makes you unique?

What makes me unique. I think hurt myself existing makes me unique because you won’t find anyone else who is identical or exactly alike with me.

My Texts

Core Competency Reflection

I can remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches. I chose this statement because when I make a plan, agenda, I can keep in mind when events are, where new things could be added, or when something may change. I can stay open minded to my sleep schedule by looking at how much I have to do each day, then making a plan of when I should go to bed. Then if something comes up and I have more to do, I can do less on something I don’t have to do as quickly and do the things that are the most important.

I know that my projects and work can have both positive and negative consequences. I chose this statement because when I hand in work on time it may be good because it was before the due date, but it could also be bad because it may not be finished on done to the best of my abilities.

I can use feedback on my progress to improve and prefer it comes in the form of comments, justification, and suggestions. I chose this statement because When I practice drumming, I want to get feedback on what I am doing right and what what I am doing wrong. So it I can use that feedback to improve what I am working on.

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work. I chose this statement because when I was doing the meal planning project, I did a first draft with my group, then I looked at the criteria and saw that I needed to add things to our plan. So I collaborated with my group members and we added the missing pieces from the criteria to make our project better.
