Communication
In French, I did a group book discussion about the book “Où est ma maison”, this was an excellent example of communication because it made everyone in the group discuss their own opinions on the book. Personally, I enjoyed the assignment because I really liked the book, and I could make many links to my own life with it, which was enjoyable when I could talk about it with others. Another reason why I liked it is because it helped me understand the book more when I got other people’s view on it and communicated their feelings about what was happening.
Creative thinking
In woodworking I made a wooden car, which was a great example of creative thinking because it gave everyone the ability to choose how they wanted to make it. My teacher also allowed a lot of freedom when making it and gave instruction only when we asked for it. I think this was good exercise because it made people think before they did something to make sure they liked the final product. We could also drive the cars after they were done, which made the assignment worth something when we finished it rather than a good grade.
Creative thinking
In communications, I did a travel agent project, which was an excellent example of creative thinking because it allowed me and my group to choose our own country and research how to plan a vacation there. I think this was a good exercise and assignment for us because it touched a bunch of aspects that people should think of when booking a trip somewhere, for example, a outing that would help the people and culture in the country for the better. It also gave us the chance to learn about money management when travelling.
