I am clear on the difference between simple group work and collaboration as evidenced by the difference between my group work and my alone work. If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to see what both want and try and compromise with both people. I show others that I truly value their contributions by adding everyone’s decisions in the work.
to celebrate an accomplishment such as doing well on a test I celebrate by talking with my friends. by doing my work and staying quiet when I’m finished, I make a positive impact on my peers to do the same. examples where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my written work. when i am sad, angry or frustrated taking deep breaths helps me calm down.
my stressors are. school homework is a big stressor for me because when i get home i want to relax from a stressful day at school but i cant relax yet because i have work to do. finals are also a big stressor, at the end of the school year right when i think im out and free i have to do a big final on everything ive learned, and its stressful studying for the final because i have to take hours out of my free time to make sure i get it right. there for i have delt with thies stressors by taking small breaks when studying or doing homework to make the stress not as worse.
i can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear and organized way. i have done this mutaple times in class either that be discussing a game plan or talking about a topic.
i understand that learning is continuous and my identity will continue to learn. i know this by learning things at school that i never knew before.
i find it easy to be apart of a group. i have demonstrated this by playing team sports in class.
in science we did a flaming ion lab. we worked on collaborating by taking turns burning the different ions. we used wooden popsicle sticks and soaked them in the elements and burnt them to see what color they would turn out. in all this was a fun lab to do and i learned a lot from it.
in class we worked on making a persuasive paragraph and presenting in front of the class. i learned how to make my writing more persuasive and using serntan words to appeal to the audience. i also learned how to talk powerfully, making myself sound confident and ready. so in all i think i learned a lot working on this project.
i grew on the personal/social core competency by working on a persuasive writing presentation. i also was learning how to write persuasively, which helped wile presenting my presentation. i also had to work on my presenting skills like having a loud and clear voice. body language also has a factor in a persuasive presentation. so in all i think i learned a lot working on this.
we learned how to make a movie and how to find things like mood, plot points and setting. when learning how mood effects a movie we learned that music has a key roll in determining the mood of a movie. we also learned how to find plot points, witch are points in the movie where the plot is reveald or takes place. and we learned setting as well, setting is the time and place that the story takes place in. i think learning thies things were crucial in making my movie.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a deep breath and tell myself that i can do this
I appreciate feedback on my movie and prefer it comes in the form of helpful feedback
I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in creating the avatar for the main character of my movie
Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are drawing
Addressing Core Competencies:
I recognize that there are different points-of-view, and I can disagree respectfully.
I can work with others to achieve a common goal. I do my share.
Five of the most common to approaches to resolving conflicts are as follows:
1. Avoiding – Someone who uses a strategy of “avoiding” mostly tries to ignore or sidestep the conflict, hoping it will resolve itself or dissipate.
2. Accommodating – Using the strategy of “accommodating” to resolve conflict essentially involves taking steps to satisfy the other party’s concerns or demands at the expense of your own needs or desires.
3. Compromising – The strategy of “compromising” involves finding an acceptable resolution that will partly, but not entirely, satisfy the concerns of all parties involved.
4. Competing – Someone who uses the conflict resolution strategy of “competing” tries to satisfy their own desires at the expense of the other parties involved.
5. Collaborating – Using “collaborating” involves finding a solution that entirely satisfies the concerns of all involved parties.
How well do you think that you collaborate with others?
I think I can collaborate well with others. I can give ideas and even if I don’t like someone else idea I’ll disagree respectfully. if i disagree with what the other person is saying I’ll add a new idea of my own.
What is your current approach to resolving conflicts ?
I use Collaborating to try and resolve the conflict. it is the best way to resolve a conflict because you both get what you want. since both of you got what you want then you can both be happy about what your deciding on.
What could you do to improve your conflict resolution skills?
I could try to learn how to resolve the conflict faster.
In my class we made a class charter, i was put into a group of 4 talking about helpfulness and openness. We had to decide on how we view helpfulness and openness eventually deciding on what we have now in the image above. We decided that openness is to “see others perspectives and support them.” We decided that helpfulness was to “assist others when they are in need of support.” By the end of the class we had made our part of the class charter and the teacher put all the group work together to make our class charter.
