For this project with a partner, we had to plan an eight-day trip to a place chosen which I chose Argentina Buenos Aires, the competency I used for this was communication because I had to connect with my partner and make sure we both agreed on our topic and we were going to present it to our class. Also, we made our presentation engaging for the people watching with images and intriguing. We also had to present the information in a good way so that it was easily understood and interpreted correctly. My partner and I had to use a lot of communication for this project because we had to work together to complete and coordinate while presenting, and planning. I was happy with our presentation and the outcome of the project but I do feel like some parts of the project could use some more details and explanations.
For the que es project where we had to make a PowerPoint and represent information creatively. This project helped me connect with others and their art forms and ways of expressing themselves also with their traditions. This project made me represent their traditions in a creative way in my PowerPoint with colours and pictures and information on the topic of flamenco dancing. My PowerPoint made me reflect on how there are so many traditions and cultures we don’t fully understand yet and this made me understand their culture a little better. The way I communicated also helped others get a sense of their culture also.
for my core competencies, I want to write about my all about me project in English. I had to write about a memory I had so I wrote about my last time competing for dance. I thought this suited the communication aspect of it because I had to present it in front of the entire class which i did not enjoy. this helped me grow because I did much better than I thought or expected which was good and helped me grow into thinking that it isn’t so bad. I can further develop my communication competency by learning how not to get so scared anytime I want to present or speak in front of people and get over my stage fright in a way but other wise I like this project and it was interesting to get to know people this way. this is also relevant to growth in personal competencies because I had to learn how to speak in front of people and let them get to know me. even though I didn’t like it at all it was bearable and it really did let me get to know people in my class. this would also help with the social part and let me connect with others in my class that I might not talk to all the time and let me get to know who they are without actually having a conversation. I can further develop my social competencies, by being bolder when I present and not be so nervous socially.
