Communication

In CLE 10, we did many group activities/projects where I needed to communicate with my peers. An example would be a project where we had to teach the class a new game (in preparation for any future volunteer work). It was important to practice my communication and efficient explanation skills so that the game would run smoothly. After much practice, I can now confidently interact and communicate with my peers.

Creative Thinking

In Science Humaine 10, during lessons, we would discuss each topic amongst our group, and everyone would share their interpretations or understandings. I was using creative thinking while reinterpreting their ideas with my own, summarizing what was taught in my own words, and thinking “outside the box” to create new ideas.

Critical Thinking

In Foundation of Pre-calc 10, I use critical thinking every day. After lessons, we are assigned the homework, which I complete using what I observed and understood during the lesson. For problems I don’t quite understand, I ask questions and adjust my thinking to solve the problems. I can continue to improve my critical thinking skills by asking questions, reading over lessons, using educated judgment to make statements, and making sure I fully understand a topic or concept.

Social Responsibility

In Foods 11, I am consistently supporting my peers during labs, assigning roles, and making sure things are being done in an orderly fashion, while keeping the tasks evenly distributed. If my peer needs help with a specific task because it’s a technique or method they aren’t familiar with, I try to demonstrate the task while giving them an opportunity to try alongside me.

Personal and Cultural Identity

I’ve demonstrated my personal and cultural identity by not being shy about asking questions, supporting others who might feel uncomfortable asking for help, ensuring that I keep my morals and personal values in mind with everything I do, and contributing to making others feel welcome, accepted, and at ease.

Personal Awareness and Responsibility

I am very confident in my personal awareness and responsibility; I’ve demonstrated these competencies by setting limits and goals for myself, pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone, giving myself opportunities and room for growth, and always taking responsibility for my actions, whether they be good or bad.
