Science Core Competency Self-Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

This is a picture of the strawberry DNA lab. During the strawberry DNA, I followed the instructions step by step. And observed through doing the lab. Observed how the strawberry react with the dish soap and alcohol, how the colours, shape, texture, temperature change. And by reading the introduction on the worksheet, my observation and evidence I got from the test tube and answered the questions base on my thinking. I analyzed my observations and understanded how the strawberry and the chemical react with each other. And lastly conclude all I learned and observed and put it into a conclusion.

Band Reflection

Year-end Reflection: Band

About the last concert, I am proud of playing all the notes and rhythm right, and tried to play all the dynamics. I am proud of this because I have been practicing and worked on it for so long.

If I could change one thing about my performance, it would be while playing the pirate, I didn’t look up that much. And while playing the carnival, I played the swan part wrong a little bit. What I would improve is play the dynamic better and play the swan part right.

I think my performance was good. I played some dynamics and the notes all right. I think it sounds good. I think I did good in Blue Mambo.

Band had been really fun and interesting to me. I enjoyed playing in the concert and during rehearsal. Comparing from the start of the year, I think I improved so much. I would like to continue to improve on my skills like rhythms and dynamics.

ADL-Podcast Assignment

Core Competency Reflection

I seek, develop and weight opinion as demonstrated by reading and understanding different sources to make judgment on how to word my opinion. Gather all the information I read or think of, and slowly develop it. Make the statement more clear and understandable. One of the ways I ensure I complete my assignment on time is planning what I would do. Like which date will I start writing to scrips, start recording, and do my core competency. Make sure I finish it in the time that I planned, if not, I will just work in the last minute and make sure hand it in on time.

My First Year

My Grade 9 Year

This year I learned a lot from the courses I took. How to draft in drafting class, how to crochet, knit, and sew in textile art and craft, math, science, la, and socials. I enjoyed learning math and science the most because it is really fun. It feels so good when I solved the questions right. And in science, I learned a lot new things like chemistry. I realized I learned fast by taking notes, rewriting the notes. This year, I enjoyed eating lunch and the walk going home, also enjoyed meeting new people.

A useful Educational Website:

https://www.youtube.com

I choose this because there are a lot of useful video in You tube. There are tones of math video, and different education video to help me learn. It could help me review, and understand more by choose the speed of the video and subtitles.

A Useful Educational Video

I choose this video because I understand how to do graphing after this video. It shows clearly the steps and the reasons. And I could rewatch it so I can understand fully.

A Useful Education Image

I had been taking science now and learning chemistry. I choose this image because it shows clearly of all the elements. Is easy to read and helped me completed and understand my work.

An Inspirational Quote

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela 
I shared this quote because that is how I feel like when I have a lot of homework and test. It seems impossible to finish all the work, and study for all the tests. But if I tried and manage my times well, is possible and I could complete all.

What can we learn from playing games?

Core Competency Reflection:

I can identify my strengths and limits. I learned that putting the numbers together would help me to win faster. Acts on opportunities for self-growth, I needed to make a plan to see which card I should put first, and remember to say uno. Internal Motivation is when I win, or make others add more cards.

Persuasion and Advertising Project

My advertisement

Persuasion and Advertising Learning Reflection

I chose bandwagon, glittering generalities, and special offers. I used these advertising techniques to create my video. To utilize these techniques effectively, I added big and attractive text to catch the viewer’s eye. For example, “Everyone’s favourite ice cream” entices people to try the taste of “everyone’s favourite ice cream”. By offering special deals like buy 1 and get the other one 50% off, people will think it is so cheap and worth it.

In my ad, I incorporated a lot of colours, such as purple, white, blue, pink, and black. I chose these colours and backgrounds based on my slide, what my slide would be about ,and what matched my slide the best. I tried to choose more colourful, rich colours and make sure the colours wouldn’t be similar so it would stand out. I made all my text large to attract attention. I also added numerous of stickers, and they are all ice cream to accessory my ad.

What they should know about advertising is to make the poster, colors, and words that catch eyes. Using plenty of decoration, write some attractive text, and choose the best advertising technique for your product.

Core Competencies

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my work; evidence of that is that I reviewed the PowerPoint and observed how they used the advertising techniques. How big were their font and image? What colours did they choose? How did they write their text? Then I looked at mine made improvement. I increased the size and enhanced the font, selected different colors, and revised the wording. I changed it step by step to see what suited my product the best.

 Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are my design skills and editing skills. Before working on this assignment, I barely had any experience in editing. After completing it, I discovered that editing is quite enjoyable and engaging. Additionally, I had never designed an ad before, I usually just drew. However, after working on this assignment, I also found it interesting and fun as well.


ADL Persuasion and Advertisement

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertising Learning Reflection

I chose bandwagon, glittering generalities, and special offers. I added a lot of text like everyone had one in their pencil case, so I used the bandwagon technique. “You will only need one pen in your pencil case”, I used the glittering generalities. And 40% off to encourage customers to buy, and made the words nice and big so customers could see.

I chose the dark blue background because it matches my product and will stand out if I use light colors. I chose the front of the words because it is cool and matches the whole poster. I chose those stickers because I think it matches the vibe of the poster and it will look good if I put it all together.

What they should know about advertising is to make the poster, and words stand out, put more decoration, write some attractive text, and choose the best advertising technique for your product.

Core Competencies

I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work; evidence of that is I changed the size of the word, the font of the word, and then changed the effect of the word. I slowly developed and improved the wording. Changed it step by step to see what matched the best for my poster,

This is how I selected images and words to create an impact for my planned audience, I first chose the best image for my product, then chose the background color. Then find more images that will match the product and the background color and write text that will catch the audience’s eye. So, the audience will remember my advertisement and will buy my product.
