Would I want to visit Argentina:
If I had the money to, I would love to hop onto a flight and visit the beauty of Argentina. doing this project really showed me what Argentina has to offer, and I would love to see it all. If I did travel there, I would be most excited for the delicious food and for some of the gorgeous landscapes.
Core Competency Reflection
From the collaboration section, I chose that I could take on responsibilities and roles; I do my share. I demonstrated this when I sectioned the topics like special landmarks, money, countries geography etc. and chose who is going to do what. Me and my partner took on the roles and did our parts very well to create our poster and presentation.
I can also recognize different points of view and disagree respectfully because I understand that different people can have different opinions. it is necessary to collaborate on a group project and see through other peoples eyes to make your project the best it can be.
I also find it very easy to be a part of a group because I love to collaborate on ideas in general. doesn’t matter if its on projects or just regular classwork activities, I love to be a part of it.
I am kind to others and help them when they need it, although I haven’t gotten a chance to demonstrate this in this specific class. I know from past experiences that if someone is being excluded and/or doesn’t have a group, I would gladly take them into mine.
