Core Competencies – 10

In English 10,  I did question and investigate, which was an example of critical thinking because I demonstrated this when we were writing in class writes and participating in lit circles. The in class writes help a lot because I receive feedback on what I need to improve on so I can strengthen these parts. I can use my observations from short stories to draw conclusions and make judgements about the theme and I’ve been learning how to create a deeper level of understanding within a certain topic throughout short stories and novels. I find evidence in the stories and use that to prove my point in the essays. In the lit circles, we receive different roles to participate and discuss events that happen in the book. Some roles need to create essential questions, create connections, find key points, or search for quotes that give a deeper meaning. This helps me improve on my overall thinking because I can create questions from my observations after investigating which helps continue the discussions and dive deeper into each section. I can now look at different perspectives and examine the meaning behind it which helps my understanding grow and allow me to analyze and investigate faster.
