Family Project

Core Competency Assessment

Core Competence reflection

I can tell what is important to me and explain my values. My family is very important to me and they teach me so much. They taught me that family is the most important thing.

I preserve with challenging tasks and take ownership of my goals and learning behavior. I did this by not procrastinating and taking my time on this family project. I put in my time and made it the best I can.

I work to inform myself about issues surrounding me. I did this in my family project by realizing I did not have the information I need to be able to get the mark I want, so I informed myself about what I was missing and went back and fixed it.

I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behavior. I demonstrated this in my family project by making sure the photos I choose to put in my “Mi Familia” was okay with the person. I also made sure everyone was in my PowerPoint so everyone felt included.

My Goal

I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others. This is something I need to work on because I would want someone to do this to me if I was struggling. I have a hard time explaining myself sometimes, and I can’t stick up for myself, and especially for others. This is something that is important to me and I hope I can complete this goal.

Public Speaking

I think the key parts to public speaking are eye contact, loud voice, and good facial and body expressions. Eye contact is good because you don’t want to be looking down at your paper, you want to be looking at the audience. If you have a loud projectile voice everyone can hear you and it’s more interesting, instead of a super quiet speech and no one can hear you. Having good expressions when you are reading your speech can be important because you don’t want to be looking scared or nervous, you want to look ready and professional. When you are reading your speech and your head is down the whole time, you are shacking and rocking back and forth, and no one can hear you talking, that would not be a very good speech in my opinion. These are some tips that I use to help with my public speaking.

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… express everyone’s ideas so we are all on the same page. If we can get on the same page we can hopefully come to a conclusion.

I make an effort to include missing voices/ perspectives by… Having everyone say one thing to collaborate to the assignment. I what to include everyone’s ideas and if someone is shy or does not want to talk we, could try to encourage them to speak what is on their mind. If it is a group project we need to work together and be able to agree on most things.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see… Everyone talking and or writing down ideas that we came up with as a group.

If I notice …, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by… If I notice that my group does not understand the assignment we can ask the teacher for help by raising our hand and asking the teacher to come over and help. When we get the help, it would be a lot easier to get the work done fast and efficiently.

My Goal

I can ask open-ended questions to gather information.… I have a hard time asking open-ended questions because I find it hard to find the answer so I would rather ask a question that is closer to the answer. Asking an open-ended question is something I would like to work on.
