semester Reflection

ethical Judgment

This semester, I completed an independent historical fiction novel study by reading blood red snow white which was about a man named Arthur and his Journy through the Russian revolution. In my book Aurthur teaches himself Russian by reading children books and soon the newspaper, I believe his decision should be emulated because it showed that he is devoted to his dream of living in Russia. I also practiced using concrete evidence from a text. One of the best pieces of evidence I used for this project was the way the narrator described, and worded the story because it told me exactly what I needed to know and an easy way to prove it. Deciding whether or not to emulate this person’s actions matters today because, it is a good way for me to practice setting and using a criteria to judge other people based on their situation.

core Competency Reflection

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions, as demonstrated in my novel study project when I had to judge a decision that a character made. I had to then find evidence in the text to prove my statement.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when we were having group discussion, and I made a contribution to elaborate on my classmates’ statement.

I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I was doing a research project on the American revolution, I made sure that my evidence was correct and unbiased.

I have valuable ideas to share about the topics we discuss during class and do so by listening to others then presenting my own ideas.
