semester Reflection

Blood Red, Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick — Reviews, Discussion, Bookclubs, Lists

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.

 Is Violence justified in a Revolution?

A) How the use of AI assisted me in developing this project. In this project I used Ai to search google for me instead of looking for every tiny bit of information myself.

B) How I ensured that the work I created was still my own, rather than just a product of the AI. I made sure that I didn’t use Ai for everything only for searching google. I also looked at the site that the Ai gathered the information from to make sure I understood it and could put it into my own words.

C) I agreed with the position I had to argue. I agreed with the position that some violence in a revolution can be a good thing rather than a bad thing. I believe this because in the world we live in it is hard to make a huge change to the way we live without a little bit of violence.  I also believe that as long as the violence is useful and comes in the necessary amount, accomplishes what it was used for, and makes the lives of people better after the revolution, the violence was a good thing.

Core Competency Reflection 

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include making sure I understand the information I am reading, check to see if the information makes sense and doesn’t undermine my other arguments or information, and if I don’t understand the information, I will ask somebody else for their opinion whether it is relevant or not.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I usually get right to the point in a polite way to make sure we are getting off to the right start. I will check in with my group members to make sure they are doing their part well and will help them if they need it. In the end I make sure we have finished the project in a way that we are all happy with. basically, I make sure the work is done and move on.
