My Paper

The Writing Process

During the writing of this interview essay I learnt a lot of things. My families history, my dads history and the important messages my dad made me realize. The interview wasn’t as long as I thought because most of the questions answered other questions. Added to this I also knew most of my dads story just not the specifc details in where he helped. Referring to the outline helped a lot because once I made that the structure of the essay got easier. The essay shifted away from the outline at the end because, I think that I needed more information on the history behind my dads imigration instead of the facts when he arrived here in Canada. During the finalization of the essay I made major changes including the way I structured the entire essay. It came to be that a lot of the essay I was using myself as examples when it was a interview essay about my dad.

Core Competency Reflection

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is I noticed my work was self centered and it wasnt following the correct critera so, I revamped the essay.

The ways I communicate at school differs from how I communicate at home due to professionalism. At school and work you have to be professional and formal towards your co workers and teachers.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I usually go outside or go for a run. At school when running isn’t accessable. I go get water or for a walk in the hallway.

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 my essay. During the creation of the essay I had to analyze the answers of the questions I asked and also read in between the lines while making educated guesses.

My goal: “I respectfully advocate for my needs by…” I feel like when I get into my school work my wellbeing dosent matter as much. In the future I would like to care more about myself while also putting a effort into my education

The three takeaways out of these two classes:

1.) Not to panic and leave the person helpless

2.) Learning how dangerous overdosing is and how to use the naloxone kit works. How to use it when someone is in danger, and the precautions to look out for when using it. Example(dangers around the person)

3.) When to use the AED and the pulses behind it. If the person doesn’t have a pulse you should use it. Where to place the pads and how the shock works with the machine.

Learning these things are super important due to the amount of overdoses and other problematic things that go on in our city. To know these things are important because it’s a real life situation that you can come across in your life.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competencies

I can analyze and make judgements based on my learning. I did this by paying attention to both presentations and making judgements when something is given in front of me as information

My Parabola: 𝑦=1/2(π‘₯+1)^2βˆ’4

Explanation

In each parabola there are five varibles X, Y, a, h and k. Each of them represent something different. The X and Y values show which point on the graph the parabola runs through. The h and k represent the vertex. The h value also is the axis of symmetry and the k value shows you what kind of vertical shift the parabola will have. The h value on my parabola is +1 meaning my axis of symmetry will be x=-1 (reverse k value) The variable a shows which way the parabola opens, my a = 1/2 so, it opens up. If it was -1/2 it would open down. The difference between my parabola and y=x^2 is the h value. It is lower on the Y axis then it is on the standard graph.

Self Assessment

#1.) I represented the h value also known as the Axis of Symmetry in three different ways by graphing it on desmos, describing how it is used in my explanation and I explanied the difference between my parabola and the standard graph.

#2.) I used mathematical vocabulary throughout my explanation of the k value and using words like “parabola” and “vertical shift”

#3.) I used formatting by making the key components bold. The specific math terms and variables I used to explain the parabola are bolded to show the significance and to make it more clear for the reader.
