Intro Spanish 11 Core Competency

My goal is to improve my listening ability to understand others when they speak spanish, because I feel like it is my weakest ability and to listen in spanish is very important to be able to have a conversation. I could accomplish this by listening to spanish texts I understand more often#communicationcc

In this unit I want to focus on being able to order food at a cafe or a food truck with confidence because I really like food, and when I go to a spanish speaking country, the first thing I want to try is the food and I would want to order it with some confidence.

Visual Literacy “Steve Cutts”

The piece by Steve Cutts uses Visual Literacy which is the ability to read, write and create visual images. It is a concept that relates to art and design. The picture I chose can have many meanings, one of them being about how much our cellular devices affect us throughout the day. That is why it shows the people walking off the cliff because when they are using their device while walking, they become extremely unaware of their surroundings because their brain is just focused on their device and completely neglecting their surroundings. Another meaning which has some similarities to what was just stated is that the illustration is talking about the famous app “Pokémon Go”. This is because in the illustration, you can see while people are walking off the cliff, there is Pikachu which is a Pokémon character. This would fit the illustration meaning because there were many cases of people dying while playing Pokémon Go because while they were focusing on walking around in the app. They would not focus on where they were walking and, in many cases, get run over by cars. This illustration can be dedicated to people who play or played Pokémon Go. This can even be for people who use their cellular devices often. 

 

Week 3 Math 10 Scientific Notation

One thing I learned this week was scientific notation, scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.

when you have a big number with a lot of zeros, you move the decimal places until you reach the big number and put the important number as a decimal and when it is all zeros, you do the decimal number times 10 and however many decimal places you move it, that will be your exponent.

Podcast Project Reflection

 

Community connection

The person I interviewed was the Coquitlam Metro Ford Soccer Club BCSPL goalkeeper coach Richard, His role as a goalkeeper coach is to evaluate and make sure his players reach their full potential, it’s also his responsibility to make sure we stay focused in training and don’t slack off.

Richard Meister

I chose to interview him, because I am also a soccer goalie and he’s my goalie coach, and I also love the sport of soccer in general and maybe even one day, I would love to coach younger goalkeepers one day too like Richard.

One thing that I’ve learned from interviewing him is that he loves his job, he loves coaching and it’s his passion. I’ve also learned that he loves goalkeeping and the sport of soccer in general. This connects to my passions and interests because my passion is to be a pro soccer goalie and then after, I want to be a goalkeeper coach for the youth, and this interview showed me what it’s like to be a goalkeeper coach.

 

This is one of the questions that he answered in my interview that really stayed with me, this is because I can how much this is true, because when I go to goalkeeper training with Richard, I feel comfortable over there and ready to train and give %110 but that is only because I have a good relationship with him and the other goalies there which makes a good work environment. After this interview, I feel that opportunity for me in the future is to be a goalie coach. This is because I really love this sport, and I would love to pass down what I know to the next generation of goalies.
