I demonstrate well communication skills during class time. I show this when i am stuck on something and have spoken to my peers and they also are lost. I will ask my teacher and have a better understanding of the questions.

Managing your time
I use a journal to keep myself organized and manage my time on when I am going to be working on my assignments. I try to prioritize the most difficult classes but also even it out with my least difficult classes, so I complete my assignments by their due date. This strategy works well for me and keeps me up to date with my classes. I use this in all of my classes in grade 9 I struggled a lot with managing my time and this has helped a lot.
Core Competency Reflection
I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. I used to struggle with getting my assignments in on time, after I started using the journal to help me manage when I’m going to be doing the assignments it has helped a lot.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
Critical and Reflective Thinking
The debate on whether our criminal justice system should be more punitive or rehabilitative is complex. A punitive approach focuses on punishment, which may not address the root causes of criminal behavior, while a rehabilitative system aims to reintegrate offenders, reducing recidivism. I believe a balanced approach is most effective, providing accountability while fostering personal growth.
Reflecting on my ability to analyze my own beliefs, I tend to favor rehabilitation but have gained insight into the punitive perspective. Engaging with differing views has helped me appreciate how both systems can work together for a more just and effective criminal justice framework.
Dumplin: the movie
The Movie
Plot, Character, Setting and mood
Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
I created the avatar the way I see her through the ways they’ve described her through the movie.
How did you choose the plot points?
I focused on the important parts of the movie and the parts that stood out to me.
Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. Why is the setting significant to the story?
So you get the idea and can picture the setting more with a picture that matches it.
Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
I picked this song because it matched the energy the book gave me.
Core Competency Reflection
I respectfully advocate for my needs by… Taking my time and re thinking examples. I did this because I handed this in late I like to take my time and make sure everything is done.
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is… I built on the authors idea of this book. For example when I was making the character I made it different then the way she really looked but I used the authors ideas of the way she described Dumplin.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… Take a break and then refresh my mind of what to do. I did this when I was making slides for this powerpoint. I got stuck on a few slides but I just took my time and took a break to re think what to put down.
