Creative Thinking

Communication

Communication throughout projects and assignments is a very important skill to have. I think it is important to be able to summarize and show the point of view that you understand to the finest. I like to show my learning effectively through drawings, posters and mind maps when I’m trying to get my point across. For myself, the easiest way to communicate with projects would be through creative posters or public speaking on a specific topic. I like to be able to share my ideas in an effective way by speaking to my class. When collaborating with others I like using mind maps to to compare and branch out everyone’s ideas to get them all down on paper. I think this is a good method to use because you get to see the layout of everyone’s thinking and where can lead certain projects or assignments to the finish product.

Thinking

Creative thinking simply means being able to come up with something new. Therefore, creative thinking is the ability to consider something. When I am creatively thinking, something that gets  me creatively thinking is listening to music that relaxes me and lets me think my imagination through. A good song can really relax my mind and I can think of more creative ideas. When I hear about cool or crazy places and things that people are doing, it is always inspiring me to try new things.

Personal and Social 

Personal and social skills are very important because they link into both communicating and critical thinking. Some aspects that I value about my culture are the cuisine and family gatherings. My strengths as a learner have to be, able to grasp new concepts and having a good attention span to learn for long periods of time. I also use my class time very wisely and try my very very best with projects. Whenever I am feeling discouraged about my work performance, I just take a deep breath and know that it could be worse and life goes on. I think its important to remember to try your best next time and in the end, it is what it is. My learning goals this year are to do well in all my classes that I have and try and receive lots of interesting information from my classes. I chose those goals because I want the best of my learning time here in high school and to take the information and connect it to future life skills.
