English final edublog

In this assignment we had to create a short story, I think this is a good example of my “create and communicate core competencies”. This story relates to indigenous principles because in indigenous culture and teachings greed and dishonesty trigger bad karma. Learning from experiences and getting what your actions deserve is a common theme in indigenous learning. I believe indigenous principles are very important and the way they teach is one of the best ways to teach the up and coming generations. Reconciliation can be worked towards in may ways and awareness is one of the best ways in my opinion. Learning why the culture and teachings are just as important is huge for the preservation of the indigenous culture in Canada. Learning about how there are small elements of indigenous learning in all of life will work towards a greater understanding of there culture.

Creative thinking core competency.

Creating a story is not an easy task, even a short story. It took a bit of thinking at the beginning to get inspired and figure out what I was going to do. Taking all of your ideas and working them into a short story is no small task. I put a lot of effort into taking this story and giving it indigenous principles and teachings, learning through challenges and experiences is something I think is prevalent in indigenous teachings.

My artifact

Curricular competencies reflection

During this assignment I learned about the perspective of the indigenous peoples when the colonists arrived, and why it is important to be authentic and respectful when retelling stories or events. In the film, the misrepresentation of the indigenous culture was prevalent. By doing a synthesis assignment on this film I widened my writing and reading comprehension skills, reforming my writing was key to showing my understanding about the concepts. The lessons that we took away from the synthesis project are true in everything you might do in life. Being authentic and true to history, especially when it concerns the integrity and pride of a culture, is vital to reconciliation.

Core competencies reflection

I represented my critical and reflective thinking skills/competencies in this assignment my looking at my work critically and objectively. With help I was able to improve my work and elevate it; I got feedback from my peers and teacher that helped me reflect and improve. During this assignment the goal was to take big ideas away from the texts and criticize/think reflectively about the authenticity of the two stories we looked at. Being able to see many points of view and understanding the feelings of the characters was huge when writing my synthesis.

Collaboration

For this lab we had to work in groups and measure current through a circuit when adding light bulbs and gradually upping the voltage. Everyone in my group put in an effort to contribute, whether is was measuring the current, turning up the voltage, attaching the light bulbs or even just cleaning up the work space afterward. Once we all established roles we stuck too it, working smoothly as a team to complete the task.

Making and Sharing Reflecting.

Making

I use food materials in ways that minimize waste. I always use the majority of the vegetable and use all of the spices and seasoning to maximize flavour in the recipe. I’m not shy when it comes to ingredients, I always pick the biggest union or the most garlic. I never waste little bits of food.

Sharing

I assess my ability to work effectively with individuals and collaboratively. Working in groups in one of my strong suites. I thrive when my group and I can work together and get the job done.

Core competency reflection

Examples where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my finishing product and my teams-manship with my group members.

If there is a disagreement within the group, I find it helpful too talk as a group and quickly workout an answer to our problem. Making sure everybody is happy with the final product is crucial.

I know the group is working well when I see, people helping each other and working collaboratively. When our table group is communicating and working things out quickly and efficiently you can tell we are working well.

One goal

I show that I value feedback from others in my group. Sometimes I don’t show that I value outside opinions and maybe I have to show that it effects my work that I do. Especially when my partner feels strongly about something.

Making and Sharing Reflection

My group members and I worked very well together when it came to execution and final product. We all finished around the same time and we all worked smoothly with each other in the kitchen. We adjusted the flavouring and some of the spices when needed to meet our taste requirements. We also presented well as a whole and worked together getting ingredients whenever we could, oiling each others pans whenever they needed it as well. We all knew what tasks we excelled in and those we the tasks that we decided for each other. Criticizing people when they weren’t doing something correct is a big part of it as well. Letting your group members know that they are doing something wrong is healthy and helpful If you want to do something to your best ability.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to talk all the time. communication is amazing, knowing what your group members are doing is very good for your timing as a whole and your timing as an individual. Some things I think about before dividing tasks among the group members include what peoples individual skills are, and what people maybe don’t excel in. if somebody isn’t very good at chopping maybe hand that task off to there partner or trade for something that they excel at. I show that I value feedback in my group by giving feedback whenever I can, as well as positively receiving feedback from my group members. Now that we are with our new groups a goal I have would just be to work extremely well with all of my new group members and figure out what we each excel at.

Advertisement and persuasion

My advertisement.

Persuasion and advertising techniques.

This advertisement is supposed to make you feel like you have no time and you must buy the product now. The ad is simple but not overbearing, it makes you feel like you will never get a better offer. It doesn’t shame other companies in an act of defamation but it is telling you that it is simply better. It gives you visual representation with two of our real products on a happy customers wrists. This ad uses a logical approach. If you take a look you have see all of the numbers used like 30% off or 350.50$. The other technique we used was special offer. we represented this by offering a buy one get one free and telling our consumers that the product will soon go out of stock so you must buy it now.

Core competency reflection.

I can understand and share information about the topic of interest in a clear, organized way. This project has engaged my presentation skills and helped me access the creative part of my brain by getting me to create an advertisement. I have never done a project like this so it was. pretty cool to attempt something like this. Rehearsal was something I would tell myself to do more of next time around. I could’ve used a bit more practice, I also could’ve communicated better with my group members. There are certain thing that could’ve been better but overall I think it was just fine.
