Core Competent Canadians

Question 1: What did you know about the Core Competencies before this activity? What did you learn?

Before the activity, I knew a fair bit about Core Competencies, I knew that Core Competencies help you reflect on your work and the understanding what you have learned. I understood that Core Competencies is about a reflection on knowledge about what you have learned. I knew about Core Competencies before this activity because I’ve started completing them during the start of middle school and ever since. So I have a basic understanding of what Core Competencies are about and this activity just expanded my knowledge about Core Competencies.

Question 2: How can your knowledge of the Core Competencies help you in your school life? Personal life? Please also write about any thoughts, wonderings, or reflections that you didn’t get to write about.

Core Competencies can greatly help you in your school life, not only its a reflection but its also a way to look back at what you have done and always have a record of it. When you post a Core Competencies on your Edublog, it would be there and other people can check it. This would mean that people can see what you have learned and all the positive things you have done. People can also see how you reflected on it and your understanding of the information in your Core Competencies. It can help you in your personal life such as if you have a struggle or problem, you can use your Core Competencies skills to reflect on what you have trouble with and improve and fix it.

Substance Abuse Role Play

This is the video of the skit:

 

Questions

1. What are the influences involved in your roleplay? (i.e, difference of opinion, going against your values, pressure from friends, pressure from a dating partner, etc.)

The influences in our roleplay were pressure from friends because Noah and Stefan were pressuring me to smoke. But I had a different opinion and I used the excuse of saying I was busy because I had a lot of homework. Or I just refused it because smoking was bad, and I negotiated with them with play soccer as an alternative.

2. Write a script for your roleplay (on a separate sheet of paper).

3. Explain how your conflict/issue was resolved. What skills were used to resolve this conflict/issue?

How I resolved the issue was I refused their offer in different ways, I incorporated different strategies to effectively refuse their offer. The conflict was resolved by me not taking their cigarettes but also not making them angry and making them satisfied with my excuse. You need communication skills such as negotiation, refusal, and delay skills to resolve your conflict or issue.

4. How would using these skills make the person in the role play more resilient?

By having good negotiation, refusal and delay skills, it would make the person in the role play more resilient. This is because it would make the person who is offering the cigarettes harder to get to you. If you have these important skills the process would be much easier and smoother to deny the offer of the cigarettes and they wouldn’t ask any more questions and leave you alone. Using all these skills means that the person will be harder to come by and would be harder to accept the cigarettes, making you more resilient.
