Communication–
I can understand information given to me and show what I know by telling, writing it down, or drawing it out in a way another person can understand easily. In my English class in quarter one, we did a book club but with a small group of classmates. My group all decided to read the book divergent. Our project after reading the book was to make a collective PowerPoint to present to the class. This PowerPoint included reasons why you should read divergent, an introduction to the book and characters, making our own faction as a group, etc. From reading the book I was able to talk about it and show it in a PowerPoint presentation. I collaborated and communicated with my group. Here is the link to the PowerPoint: Divergent
Thinking-
I can experiment to find possible options and make judgments and ask new questions. In my socials class, we had a trial for the arrest of John A McDonald. I was assigned a lawyer for this project and was put in a group with other lawyers and witnesses. We were on the side of John A Mcdonald to be guilty, representing the crown lawyers. I shared ideas with my group for questions to ask the other side’s witness and things to point out why he was guilty. We experimented with different ideas and questions which would leave the jury to decide that John A Mcdonald was in fact guilty. When witnesses answered differently than expected lawyers had to ask new questions on the spot. Here is a planning sheet we had made for the trial: Crown Case
Personal and Social-
I am a positive member of the classroom, community and/or environment. I am a positive classmate in all classes but the example I will use is for gym class. I have built strong relationships in gym because I am a friendly person who enjoys talking to people. I always but hype others up instead of down. I respect people’s likes and interests and understand not everyone is amazing at everything. When we go on walks I say hello to anyone walking nearby and I respect the environment by keeping it clean.
Goals-
Something I would like to improve on is my procrastination. Now knowing that next year will probably go back to normal schedule, I know I will really struggle if I keep procrastinating my assignments. I love the feeling of accomplishing something so next school year I will make sure all my assignments get done as soon as possible. I would also like to join more clubs next year. Many were not running this year so I am hoping they will be running next year. I want to join sports teams like volleyball and basketball as well as clubs to help the environment.
