Grade 10 Core Competencies

Communication Self-assessment

  1. Do you Communicate your ideas and opinions in a respectful way? Answer: Yes, I try to bring my thoughts up in respectful ways so that they will be heard and not frowned upon because of how I bring them up.
  2. Communicating your questions or concerns to teachers or parents. Answer:  I communicate my concerns and questions usually very well to my parents. Sometimes I find that I keep some emotion in and if I disagree with something, I bite my tongue and don’t say anything.
  3. Ways I demonstrate communication include. Communicating during sport activities with teammates in basketball. Checking in the friends and family to make sure that they are doing alright and if they have any problems just listen to what they say. Trying to meet new people in my classes during Covid. Trying to engage people in a conversation while trying to keep distance has been hard. That’s one of the challenges with communication this year.

 

Creative thinking.

  1. Using creative thinking in assignments and in schoolwork. This year there has been a lot of here’s an outline for an assignment, you have the freedom to do whatever you would like with it. I have developed a lot of creative thinking skills through these assignments. Trying to convey my ideas in a creative way either through the likes of PowerPoints, presentations, and essays. This wasn’t always easy; I think this competency is one I struggle with the most as I sometimes find it hard to think outside the box.
  2. Ways I demonstrate Creative thinking. I demonstrate creative thinking in schoolwork. Like said above I use it almost every day. I brainstorm ideas by creating mind maps, searching for ideas, communicating with others, and looking at past work I have done for inspiration.

 

Social responsibility

  1. I use social responsibility almost every day. Giving back to community is a big thing in my family. We have done things through my basketball club like cleaning up parks and picking up garbage throughout our community. I think that its very important to hold yourself to a high standard. Making sure you know if you’re making a mistake that could get you in trouble or cause you regret later in life. Being responsible for yourself, the people around you and the area you are in is very important. Volunteering is something that I would like to do more of. I have only done it a couple times with basketball clubs and Port Moody rec center. I want to be able to give back more and volunteer doing things I enjoy.
