Curricular Competency Reflection

The 6 journals I wrote, were very helpful references for me writing the presentation. The journals were detailed enough that they kept me on track during my presentation. I just had to do a bit more work to tie everything together.

I understood that the top was about the story and the bottom was about the sub theme. It was good to see everything laid out and was a helpful map to follow.

Participating in the circle gave me better ideas of what to put it and I used some of the Ideas in my presentation. It was good to see things from someone else’s viewpoint.

I chose the graphic organizer because I am an artist and like to present things visually with artwork, pictures or photos. Painting would have been my first choice but it would have been hard to show the themes because I don’t know what people would be thinking when they looked at my art. I wouldn’t know if they thought the same as what I had in mind. I chose the photos because there were more pieces to show my puzzle of ideas.

Core competency Reflection

· I appreciate feedback on my presentations and prefer it comes in the form of written comments of what I was good with and what needs work. I need to hear what I can improve on when I am presenting because we do a lot of presenting in school and out in the world and I need to know that I am communicating clearly.

· When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I step away and try going outside. I go for or a walk and try using my creativity by taking pictures. Other times I will sit down and draw a picture or paint. Focusing on details in art clears my mind of everything but the art.

· I can describe how taking Earth Science in Grade 11 relates a lot to the novel I chose to read. Climate change was a big part of my course and we learned how everything is connected together. When one thing is changed, everything gets changed somehow. Climate change was like a character in the book because it affects the people characters in their everyday lives.
