Drafting and Design 11 Self Assessment

Thing:

This is is the birdhouse assignment. It was to get us familiar with the controls in Fusion360. I added a flower because I wanted to.

Core Competency Stuff:

Creative Thinking – Making a flower, then mirroring it so it’s on both sides of the roof.

Communication – I understood the assignment, and if I was stuck, I would look for help in YouTube tutorials. The next step would be to ask for help.

Critical Thinking – “I can experiment with different ways of doing things”

Core Competency Self Assessment – Computer Programming 11

Flowers. In a flower pot. Made with Turtle, coded in Python.

Reflection:

One of the assignments, the “flower field, wasn’t working. For this assignment, we had to copy some of the teacher’s code, and then write some of our own to make the turtle draw flowers at random positions. At first, the flowers were being drawn outside the screen, which didn’t make sense. So I played around with the buffer sizes until it looked ok to me. Another problem I ran into was when I asked the computer to make 4 flowers, it made 16. For some reason, it squared the number of how many flowers I wanted. So I compared the teacher’s code and mine, and it turns out I added a random line that she didn’t have. That’s fixed now. I think I did pretty good on this assignment overall. 1) it works. 2) I added flower stems and a flower pot to be a bit more creative.

“I Can” Statements:

I can experiment with different ways of doing things
(Critical Thinking)
I can develop a body of creative work over time in an area I’m interested in or passionate about
(Creative Thinking)
I build the skills I need to make my ideas work, and usually succeed, even if it takes a few tries
(Creative Thinking)

English First Peoples 11 Reflection

My Artifact

This is a picture of the Imagery Write In Class Assignment. For this, we looked at a picture, then had to write as if we were there. The goal was to paint a picture with words, of a place we haven’t been.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

Despite missing the class this was taught, I was able to create and communicate my ideas to complete the assignment pretty decent-ly. To help me with this assignment, I pictured what it was like at a beach i’ve been to. I wrote about that beach and added some trees. I was able to write in all 5 senses, which helped better describe the scene.

Core Compitencies Reflection

The core compitency for this assignment was “thinking.” During this assignment, I was thinking on how to describe the scene the way the teacher wanted. I was able to fix this problem by imagining that I’m in the picture, narrating stuff in first-person.
