In my Socials class, we are always sharing ideas and discussing our comprehension of different topics multiple times a day. We all take turns sharing ideas and commenting on other’s thoughts and opinions. Talking with my peers help me understand the different historical events by listening to what other people have to say and sharing my own opinions with others helps me reflect on what I understand and tests my own learning and knowledge.

In my Creative Writing 11 course, we are constantly using our creative thinking, from working from prompts and scales to put our daily ideas onto paper, to doing our choice work where we can choose whatever piece of work we would like to use. I use my creative thinking to come up with different works of ideas and to focus on certain techniques and find creative ways to configure into my work.

I work on my critical thinking skills in my French class; we work on a lot of different grammar rules and the difference between verbs. I have to look at certain sentences and figure out what tense of verb, if it is a feminine or masculine verb, single or plural.
