Curricular Competency Reflection

• Q) How did you explore the diversity of Canadian Identities and perspectives?
  A) I was able to show that I know how to explore the diversity of Canadian Identities and perspectives in my Sketch Notes project. In this project I read “The Sea is at Our Gates” which is a book about the history of the Canadian Navy. After reading the book I interpreted the different views and events and put them into my own words. The project was meant to deepen our understanding of Canadian history, and it definitely did that to me.
• 
  Q) How have you begun planning for your career-life pathways? What skills in networking, job-seeking, and employment marketing have you developed?
  A) I have begun to plan for my career-life pathways by thinking about what things I like and what I would be happy doing. These things that I am thinking of are getting my driver’s license, becoming a rugby referee, and maybe working towards getting a piolet’s license. Some skills that I have developed are my resume and cover letter writing skills. I did that by working on mock job applications and interviews I hope to put them to use soon.
• 
  Q) Which physical activities did you engage in and enjoy the most this term?
  A) One physical activity I engaged in and enjoyed was our canoe trip to deep cove. In that trip we canoed to deep cove and spent some time in the town. I enjoyed watching the water rush beneath the canoe as we paddled onward and the smell of the salt in the air. At one point I did get my foot wet, but it was fine after it warmed up. Overall, it was a good experience.
• 
  Q) How have you grown in your leadership skills this term? When and where do you think you have demonstrated leadership the best?
  A) I have grown in leadership this year by socializing with my classmates and directing certain group projects. I think that the time that I showed my best leadership was when I helped my group create A map using compass bearings. The map was made by walking down a route and recording the steps we took and the direction we went in. This was one time I think that I took charge and showed my leadership.
• 
  Q) How did you develop and demonstrate your lab and field work skills?
  A) I was able to develop and demonstrate my lab and field work skills in the tidal adaption zone lab. In this lab we went to Belcarra and observed and recorded the different animals we found in the tidal zones. After we went back to school, we found out how their adaptions helped them to live in a constantly changing environment. This was one time that I felt that my lab and field work skills.

Core competencies

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is reflecting one what I learned or what I have done. This helps me to understand what was just taught to me and that helps me to use my time effectively to plan and think ahead of what I have to do. Some things that I think about are work that I have to complete or sometimes I will think about what I could do to improve something that I have been working on. Reflecting on what I have done or learned in my free time.
