Core Competencies Reflection
Core Competency: _______Creative Thinking_____________
I organized my poster in Pages, separating it into 3 sections for each rule. My three rules were listening to the teacher, wearing your hair up and appropriate clothing, and making sure you know what to do. I searched “free clip art” to find appropriate pictures for each section. My first clip art picture is of simply a group of kids looking up at the teacher, listening. I included this rule as I thought and as my class was told many times that it’s important to listen to instructions, especially during labs. For wearing appropriate clothing and hair, I choose a clip art photo of a girl with a short sleeved shirt on and hair up. If you have long sleeves on a lab day or wear baggy clothes, if you don’t role up the sleeves they could drag into whatever you are experimenting with. Girls’ hair could obviously get in the way as well, if it’s out. I choose this rule because it seems obvious but I know many people sometimes forget. For my last rule I just added a picture of three kids doing an experiment. I decided on using this rule for my picture because it is beneficial to know what to do in an experiment. This rule relates to listening to the teacher but even if you seem like you’re listening, it’s important to actually pay attention and remember the procedure, not just base it off other people. This describes what I have done for my project. Ways I want to improve are… I want to be more specific, if possible, the next time I do a project like this. I could also have spent more time on it. I think I did a good job for the most parts, but there were still some things I could have improved.
