My Paper

I developed my skills in the area in the classroom. I did labs and complied with all the instructions given by the teacher. I learned dynamically in the class and we were allowed to express ourselves freely. Work in groups efficiently and do all the worksheets given in class. I end this class with many teachings, including one of them; MOVE4MANA.

From the volcano I learned how they really work and I learned the differences between mudslide and landslide. We did different activities throughout the course. That is to say; For each topic seen in class we did projects to make the class more dynamic and exercise our learning 100%.

There is a lot of pros and cons about working in groups. The pros are, you share responsability, you develop stronger communication skills, it allows more oppinions to be shared. Some cons are, making decision slow, poor leadership, it can cause a conflict between members.

I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by

I show others that I truly value their contributions by thanking them and putting all my effert on my part.

If the group is not productive, we can talk with teh teacher in order to get things moving in the right direction.

If I notice that someone on my team has a doubt or it’s not making their part, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by talking to each other, asking the teacher or even searching on internet.

In this group project I learnt how even you don’t know your partners they will support you anyways and help you in what you fail.

I know how to distinguish between facts and opinions.

 I remember discussing with my colleagues in the titration lab about its properties and its shortcomings.

I can contribute and work with criteria to improve my own work.

 If in titration can analyze my mistakes and I searched for real information about the effect of bases on acid

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others.   

 In labs I remember to do my work and compare it with others to see where I need to improve or if I need help from the teacher I require it and I make summaries of my learning in class to constantly review it .

A strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is… watching videos in Spanish helps me to understand better especially in chemistry where sometimes the vocabulary is difficult to understand watching videos and listening to audios at night helps me to remember it the next day .
