Komagata- I am very proud of my Komagata Maru project. I really enjoyed researching and educating myself on this event. I demonstrated on my final project the causes and consequence of this event. In the project I showed examples and evidence in news articles and video conferences with the government of British columbia and Indian people. I provided perspective opinions on both sides. I really enjoyed learning about the Komagata and will forever educate others around me about this major life event.

The core competence that I think I demonstrated well was, creative thinking. I used evidence showing facts and information from the actual time of the Komagata Maru incident. I put myself in both scenarios, being a passenger on the ship and also being in the BC government. I strongly side with the 376 passengers that suffered due to racism and neglect from our government. After reading stories and listening to news reports about this tragic life event. It made it very clear for me how disrespectful the BC government at that time was. It makes me sad to know that people tried to come here for a better future and help and they shut the door on them. I hope a situation like this never happens during my lifetime. I will continue to provide knowledge and information to others about acceptance of all cultures and races. I would like to see a movement where this change is in effect.

1. Artifact: Find something you did during this class that you are proud of that highlights either your communication, thinking, or personal/social skills. Make sure your full name or personal information is not presented when you upload it on your blog.

My artifact is my instagram post I know I did very well on. I worked hard on my writing portion and my drawings. I used personal/social skills in Canva as I have knowledge in how to create a great post in that program.

2. Explanation: Curricular Competencies Reflection—Explain in a short paragraph how you demonstrated aspects of either significance, cause and consequence, perspective, evidence, ethical judgement, or continuity and change competencies.

I gathered lots of evidence and information from online resources to create my instagram post. I showed significance with the information, picture and layout. My perspective of Montequieu was demonstrated in my project. I also believe like others that he was a very intelligent philosopher. His belief in having all government levels equal was very smart. He tried to keep peace and equality. His judgement and theory of having the people elect the form of government was well established.

3. Core Competencies Reflection—Select a Core Competency (Communication, Thinking, or Personal/Social) that you grew in during this artifact and explain in a short paragraph how you did that. Select a Core Competency you didn’t use last time you posted on your Edublog and feel free to use more than one. You can use the Core Competency links or questions below to guide you in your reflective thinking:

Share the experience of critical/reflective thinking for your artifact (Consider strategies you used to solve a problem, how you analyzed evidence to make decisions or draw conclusions, how you used feedback to improve, how you conducted investigations into topics, and what you would improve on for next time).

I really enjoyed doing research on Montequieu. I gained knowledge of all his work and what he was known for. Researching brought alot of light into my thoughts. I learned what an amazing philosopher/writer he was. Montequieu was a powerful influencer. Alone he changed government and laws. People believed in him and his theories. Like today, us people have the right to vote. This all comes from past laws that were created and respected. In future I wouldn’t feel like I need to improve on my project, rather I would like to do more of these. I found this all very interesting and a great topic to discuss with my family at dinner.
