Core Competencies Self-Assessment – PROCESS
categories: Self-Assessment
Here is my English self reflection, in this self reflection I explain my strengths, what I can improve at in the future and how to do so.
My Strengths
Something I am good at is using the PEEL method when writing paragraphs to communicate my ideas in an organized and well flowing way. I can find sufficient evidence to further prove what I am trying to say and I have learned how to properly integrate quotes. At the beginning of the year I had a lot of dropped quotes, but I know now how to incorporate them smoothly. I thoroughly understand the components of the PEEL method and can successfully use them to write paragraphs.
Examples Of My Strengths
I know this because I can see the difference between the paragraphs I wrote at the beginning of the semester and the paragraphs I write now. At the beginning of the semester my paragraphs did not flow as well as they do now and as I mentioned previously, I did not integrate quotes properly.
My Goals
Something I can get better at is not being repetitive in my paragraphs, and expanding on my points more. That way I can have a better quality of content in my paragraphs, making them stronger overall.
My Plan
To achieve this goal, I will read over my paragraphs an extra time to check if I am being repetitive, and if so, expand my thinking more to be more in depth with my information. This way it will become a habit and the quality of my writing will continue to get better.
3D Data Visualization – Science 10 Honours
categories: Uncategorized
For our 3D data visualization project, the data set we chose was one on epidemiology and how many people each year die from certain illnesses. To visualize our data, Diva, Leticia, and I got a pvc pipe and drilled holes in it to hold the skewers with the beads for each illness divided onto the different strings for the years. We chose this data set because it is something we are interested in. In the future I might want to study epidemiology because it is something that expresses my interest and if we know what illnesses are causing the most deaths, we will know which ones have a higher urgency to cure.
During this assignment we worked on our communication with acquiring and presenting information. We found our data set and took in the information of which illnesses were more prominent, and which ones affected less people in death causing ways. We presented our data visually through our model of a pvc pipe with skewers containing different strings with different string colors for the years and different bead colors for the different illnesses. It was a very collaborative assignment because we had to strategically plan out who would work on which parts of the project to be able to get it done. A struggle we faced along the way was how to make it so that it would look organized. We ended up deciding to stagger the skewers so that they would not overlap too much, providing a more clear, better visual. This project required a lot of communication because to understand each others thinking process and build off of each other’s ideas, we had to communicate them to each other. At the beginning we were having a hard time deciding what we would do to represent our data, we had trouble agreeing on an idea but at the end we were able to bounce ideas off of one another to come up with our now design.
I can communicate for a purpose. I was able to effectively communicate with my group members to come up with the best way to go through with our ideas for the project. we were able to all clearly understand each others way of organizing things an know what was going on and what would be most effective.
I listen and respond to others. I took others input into account with this project and me and my group members built off of each others ideas. We listened to each others concerns and explained how we could fix possible problems that may occur.

Strengths
I am good at vocabulary building for example when we are starting a new story I am able to learn the vocabulary easily by practicing the quizlets that Signora Durand posts on one note. I am also good at writing proficiency for example during our class writes I am able to remember the vocabulary and sentences structures causing me to be able to write a completed story. I can interactively communicate with other students for example when we are doing our skits for the stories I am able to help plan them effectively with my group members.
Examples and Evidence of My Strengths
I know that I am good at these things because I study hard for the tests and I practice my lines for the skits, when I study for these things I am able to remember the information I learn and retain it when it is time to. I find that studying using the quizlets helps because you can actively study with flashcards instead of reading over the same thing over and over until I remember it all. This helps me be successful with whatever I may be doing because I am able to memorize the structures.
My Goals
I can get better at pronouncing certain words, because sometimes when I am speaking in Italian I end up mispronouncing some words. I could also improve at memorizing all my lines in the skits and eventually be able to go and present the skit without looking at the cue card. Another goal I have is for me to get better at grammar and not make errors when I’m writing or speaking in Italian.
My Plan to Reach My Goals
To reach my goals I will practice my pronunciation of words I am unsure how to say, and if I need help knowing how to pronounce something, I can ask for help. To remember my lines for the skits I can practice them more so that I can remember them when it’s time to present. If I ever am unsure about my grammar or pronunciation I can ask Signora Durand about it.
