Core Competencies Reflection:

I had a lot of fun putting together this project. I got to revisit a lot of good novels and movies to obtain my research I also incorporated my love for video and film-making by making my final product a video. Throughout the whole novel study unit I used the Communication Competency quite a lot. I needed to be able to reflect and discuss the novel with my lit circle and tell things from my perspective. I used the Creative Thinking Competency when thinking and putting together y project. I wanted to do something a little more unique than just presenting in front of the class, so I found a way to show my research through a video. The other competency I used quite a bit throughout this process was the Critical Thinking Competency, I needed it to complete my research. It helped me solve problems that I came across and be more precise in what I wanted to say. Overall the Core Competencies will come in handy with anything I may do, and this project really helped prove that.
