Social Responsibility  Critical Thinking  Creative Thinking 
In Leadership 11, I worked with teachers and students to contribute to the community and make a difference. This was an excellent example of social responsibility because I took action voluntarily to support my environment and improve someone’s day in my community. 

  • I have grown the most in my social responsibility competency because I have taken initiative without reward. 
  • Next, I will focus on developing my social responsibility competency by contributing to my environment and ecosystem to create a better place for me and others.

 In Science 10, I was tasked with presenting an inquiry project. In this project, I came up with the idea of a machine that generated oxygen on mars using its native resources. This activity is a notable example of my creative thinking since I demonstrated my abilities to develop innovative ideas in creative ways and discover interesting solutions to make my ideas function.

In English 9, I worked on a theatrical project with multiple group members, demonstrating my communication skills. During this project, I successfully communicated with my classmates to produce a proficient and amusing play which as a result received an A. Another example of my communication capabilities in this course is a similar project where me and my group were tasked with creating trivia, games, quizzes, and a play about a story that we had read.

In Ceramics 9, I demonstrated creative thinking skills when I used my imagination to create various projects with clay. I gathered inspiration from my classmates to better improve my ideas and present a one-of-a-kind art project. In addition, I used creative thinking to fix the damaged ceramic projects that most would throw away. This helped me save time and a project that I worked hard for.

I have grown the most in Communications 9 where I worked hard to develop my French speaking skills. Before, speaking French was a difficult task for me for as I did not know many words and struggled to have a conversation. Now, I can proudly say that this course has helped me improve my French communication skills which have contributed to my writing skills that have had a positive impact on my Science Humaine 9 course.

Thinking about creating this piece of digital art and the Edublog posts, how have your digital knowledge and skills improved this year? Be specific and give at least one example:

I think that my digital knowledge has improved significantly throughout this year which has increased my capability to search for reliable online sources. The tasks given by DL, have highlighted the importance of detecting whether a website is trusted or not, which is a very important aspect considering the youths everyday usage of online sources whether it is for entertainment or school purposes. For example, the Digital Learning assignment Break The Fake helped me develop the strength to use verification websites in order to support my sources and turn in a valid piece of work. in conclusion, this course has strengthened my digital skills to recognize false information sources.

In this Twitter article, I saw the Eiffel Tower on fire. It was an extremely realistic photo but it caused doubts.

I then checked the Twitter account and saw that it was verified but did not look like a trustworthy source.

For the next step, I searched the account on Wikipedia and there were no results.

I decided to check Snopes.com for the article.

Snopes also did not provide me with any information. Yet, i decided to check with another source before searching google. so I searched on FactCheck.Org.

At last, i decided to search the article on google with word “Hoax”.

In conclusion, the Eiffel Tower on fire was false news.

Take Your Kids To Work Day

On Take Your Kids to Work Day, I went to my family-owned business at Henderson Mall with my mom and my grandmother. I spent the day helping customers who entered, and I assisted them with their needs. I sold three items which consisted of a Hat, a Bag, and a beautiful hand-made wallet from Iran. I also learned how to alternate certain types of clothing to a customer’s needs from my grandmother who has been sewing since she was twelve years old!

On November 1, I heard lots of mechanical sounds, I smelt fabric, and I felt string, fabric, and sewing machines. Something about my work environment that would motivate me to attend work every day is the colorful range of items in the store. Also, all the sewing projects and how you can make something amazing from just one piece of fabric. If the environment of the workplace were unorganized and dirty, that would discourage me from attending work every day. One thing I found interesting about my workplace was the variety of alterations that can be made to clothing.
