If there is a disagreement within the group I find it helpful to try and listen to everyones ideas and sides to figure out where everyone is coming from. This is my way of dealing with group disagreements and making sure everyones ideas are heard.
When I work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to be open and friendly. This makes it easier for us to share ideas and work together. I also make sure to communicate clearly so everyone is on the same page.
I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by how in group work, people often just split tasks and work separately. In collaboration, everyone shares ideas and works together as a team, focusing on the same goal and helping each other out.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my French song project. When writing analyzing the lyrics, I had to pick the right words to express my feelings and ideas while making sure it was with the French I already new how to say. I also had to explain my ideas clear so it would be understood by the audience. I adjusted my ideas and made sure my messages were clear and meaningful, helping me improve my communication skills throughout the process. Overall I used a lot of different communication skills to complete this project to my whole ability.
I really like the brand red bull and know that all of their ads are very iconic and memorable. I was inspired to try and make a memorable ad just like the company. To make these two posters I had to use a lot of the cropping and overlapping tools. I wanted my posters to have a lot of little details like the red bull in the trash can papers on the desk and many things to really make the poster come together and make sense. I would share these ads on social media platforms as quick ads that people can quickly scroll through but still get the message of the ad. I reflected when designing to figure out the message I wanted my ads to portray. I reflected on red bulls’ message that Red bull gives you wings which indicates that the product can enhance your performance in sports, work or lifestyle. After reflection the business and their message and made my ads use humor and lifestyle poster styles. I indetified how I need to reserach and really have everything planned out to comple my goals I had for these posters.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I put on my headphones and play some music and put my phone away. I did this during my project so I could just fully focus on completing and getting done my posters. When I did these things It really helped me re-focus and complete my project to my best ability.
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when I decided to take Red Bulls message of Red Bull gives you wings and make it my own advertisement posters. I researched some of their ads and figured out how I could make them my own and make my own unique Red Bull ads.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking my classmates and teacher if I don’t understand what the instructions mean. For example in this project I asked my classmates how to use certain features on the new website I used to design both of my posters. By doing this I advocated for myself to complete my posters at my best ability.
Enter a five-letter word into the provided space. After you submit your guess, each letter will be coloured:
Green: The letter is in the correct position.
Yellow: The letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
Use the color-coded clues to refine your next guess. You have six attempts to guess the correct word.
Strategies
first I start off with lots of vowels to eliminate common options.
Next I see if I have any yellow or green boxes to choose my next word
In the next few steps I try to think of words that would work with the coloured boxes I have found.
Deductive or Inductive
Deductive Reasoning: In Wordle, you start with the rule that the word is a five-letters long. Then, based on the clues provided (green, yellow, gray), you decide which letters are in the word and where they belong. In conclusion Wordle uses deductive reasoning and not inductive.
I can make my ideas work or change what I am doing.
This is the mood board I made for my color theory assignment. I made this so I had ideas for the photos I was planning to take. I kept this in my mind when I went out to take photos. I changed some of my ideas and kept some the same when I was out taking photos. I ended up not using green and pink paper. Also in many of my photos I have bunches of photos not just singular ones. I ended up changing that idea to have just one singular flower because I felt like it would look better. The whole idea of my project was green and pink colors contrasting with each other, I definitely made this idea work and used it for my final project.
This is my final photo I took I definitely changed and kept some of my original ideas.
In this project I made a video about the book we read. I did this project with a partner and we set it up like a talk show. My partner and I worked very good together and listened to each others ideas and thoughts. I am very proud of this project because I put a lot of time into it and handed in my best work I could’ve done. My partner and I demonstrated core competencies by working well together and listening to each other ideas.

Core Competency Reflection
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by asking question and asking my peers if I do not understand something. I do this to make sure I understand waht is going on.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I drink some water and eat a snack. I also put my phone in my bag if I realize I am getting to off topic and not listening to the speaker.
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well I make sure that I am open minded and listen to everyones thoughts and ideas. I don’t just make my own desions I make sure everyone is collarborating and sharing ideas in the group.
I can be kind to others, and support others when they need it. In this lab I worked with a partner. We helped each other so we could get the lab done in time and have time to work on the questions for a bit. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are by having conversations and asking about others well working in a group. I make sure everyone is heard and their thoughts are valued.
I used my strength of managing time effectively in the past few weeks of business. I had to make a board game with a partner. My partner and I used our flex blocks to work together and worked hard to hand it in on time. My partner and I are both very busy on weekends so we didn’t joke around in flex and got our work done in flex and the business blocks we were given. If I didn’t manage my other classes I wouldn’t been able to use all my flex blocks for the board game.
Core Competency Reflection
This strength helps me get my work done on time with good quality even if my life is really busy with sports, friends and family. This strength of mine can always get better because I will always need it in my life. If i’m faced with challenges i’ll just need to use my strengths to conquer the challenge.
