Communication  

In my Precalculus 11 class, communicating with my peers helps me better understand the material and solve problems. When I discuss math problems with classmates or ask my teacher questions, I can share ideas and hear different perspectives, which helps me see things I might have missed on my own. Explaining a concept out loud also helps me reinforce my own understanding, as when teaching peers, it strengthens my understanding and my peers understanding of the concept. For example, if I am stuck on a difficult function, talking through it with someone else can make it clearer. By using communication, I can connect with others, get different insights on questions, and improve my problem-solving skills in math. 

         Creative thinking 

In my English class, creative thinking helps my reading and writing in new ways. Instead of just analyzing a text the usual way, I try to think about it from different perspectives or imagine how the story would change if certain details were different. For example, when writing an essay, I might come up with unique angles or ideas that i have not heard before, which makes my writing more interesting, and unique, and different from others.  By using creative thinking more this year , brought more detailed fresh ideas into my work and makes me see the material in a more exciting and deeper way.
