The two above images derive from my powerpoint talking about “ Helado De Paila “ which is a dessert made in Ecuador, Ibarra. I chose this artifact as it connects well to my choses core competency of Creative Thinking. Creating a presentation fully in spanish was brand new to me, but I was able to use creative thinking to form a comprehensive and cohesive format to ease the viewer into understanding what I’m talking about in spanish. I utilized color theory to capture the viewers attention, as the bright color scheme will help the viewer of my presentation be more engaged. Furthermore, I asked my own questions and answered them to show a deeper understanding of the food, along with showing a short video to appeal to the visual learners in the classroom. Using creative thinking I found ways to utilize the restrictive control of Canva to differ my project from others designs! Overall, this spanish presentation helped me in developing my skills in applying creative thinking.

Science 10 Core Competency Self Reflection

Lab 5.1 Testing Acids & Bases

We did a lab which utilized chemical indicators to determine if a solution was a acid or a base.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements. In the first part of the lab we had to use indicators to see what color a solution would turn a acid, neutral, and base solution. When filling out this part of the lab, I made the observation that red litmus paper would only turn blue once in a base, and that phenolphthalein turned solutions colorless when used, I held onto this knowledge to further quicken my work. I was able to see patterns with how indicators reacted to solutions, for example, knowing that the solution turns colorless in phenolphthalein and yellow in bromothymol blue, it must be an acid. Recognizing patterns allowed me to make educated guesses on the resulting answer of whether it is an acid, base, or neutral. Lastly, analyzing my lab answers allowed me to streamline the process of my “discussion question” work sheet. In conclusion, analyzing evidence allowed for me to make educated judgements on how I wrote my answers in both the lab report and discussion question.

Core Competency Self Assesment

I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but use that to develop my ideas.

For the end project of Biology 9 we were tasked with creating a stop motion film of two stages of a cell. I demonstrated that I could persevere and develop ideas, while being ready for set backs and failures. I did many different story boards, sketches, of what I wanted the project to look like, but I knew setbacks would come, but knew they would just be obstacles that would generate a even greater video project. I ran into setbacks like switching the stages of mitosis, to completely restarting the project multiple times because of a lack of depth, and knowing I had more ideas I could incorporate. My final project came out a success, as the many setbacks helped me generate new ideas for the video.
