Social Studies Core Competency Reflection

I chose the WW2 project – Reflection on the Holocaust.

What do you do to help yourself when you are feeling a bit discouraged about your work?

When I am feeling discouraged about. my work I tend to set myself goals for to work towards it. During the time of this project I was feeling very discouraged and stressed as we had a unit test and final project happening in the same week. So I set goals to manage my time better between studying for the test and completing this project. I would spend one day working on the project and the next day studying for the test. I also when I get discouraged maybe promise myself a reward so I can get motivation to do it. I also tend to use communication in times of doubt, I ask my peers or teachers for help to get me on the right track. Also when my brain is having a hard time processing information, I use some strategies to help me get back on track. For example drinking some water or having a snack, or getting some fresh air.
