Core Competency: Communication
Connecting and engaging with others (to develop and share ideas)
I engaged with other people in my group to ask and respond to simple questions that they had about the wood bug assignment or if I had any questions. I was an active listener by supporting and encouraging them when they are speaking and not being disrespectful. An example of how this happened during this assignment is when my group member had a different idea on how we should get the woods bugs to move to the other side of the bin I respectfully listened and encouraged her. I recognized that there are different points of view on things and instead of disagreeing saying ‘my idea would be better’ we found a way to include both ideas into our wood bug assignment.
Acquire, interpret, and present information (includes inquiries)
During this assignment, I was able to understand the concept and share the information that was the most important to me. During this assignment how I demonstrated this by picking and writing/presenting the procedure and conclusion. How I can present this information clearly and in an organized way is by putting everything in a powerpoint, possibly in point form. I can present this information to an audience I may not know by going to different classes.
Collaborate to plan, carry out, and review constructions and activities
I Can work with others in my group to achieve our goal of getting a good mark on the assignment, as well when I have a part to do in our project I contribute and finish it. An example when I took on roles and responsibilities in my group was, when I had a responsibility to finish my part so we could, hand it in on time. As well as not doing a bad job on my share of the assignment (no sloppy work). How I can summarize key ideas and identify the ways we agree. I did that by agreeing with each other to figure out who is doing what parts of the assignment. Another way we all (me) identified ways to summarize the main points as
we did some brainstorming on everything the wood bugs did.
Explain/recount and reflect on experiences and accomplishments
I received feedback on my portion (work) of the assignment from other people in my group. I responded to their idea, feedback by going back into the assignment and correcting my mistakes or pointers that they give. I can respond to other people’s questions about the assignment if they have any from my learning and experience. I can elaborate on my experience with other people and explain how I learned.
