Introduction
During this semester, I’ve enjoyed getting to know everyone and also learning how to work a website and slowly, but surely making my own website. I struggled with getting my assignments done correctly and turning them in on time. Time management is definitely a struggle, but I’m learning on how to make time for all my classes and making time for each homework assignment to be done. One goal I excelled at meeting would be Written communication: Uses language that communicates meaning to readers with clarity and fluency . I believe this because one of my greatest strengths is being able to communicate emotion/feeling so the reader can put themselves in my shoes or in the shoes of whatever is being written. During the second half I would like to be better at turning in my assignments on time and participating more during group discussions. Sometimes I don’t participate because I get confused in my thoughts and if I were to say them out loud it wouldn’t make sense to others, so I keep to myself.
Goal 1 (50%)
Based on Critical thinking & Creative thinking: Take risks in assignments and in approaches to learning to create new knowledge.
This demonstrates my learning because I never used to learn like this in high school. It was only essays and reports, so making concept graphs or maps like this and being able to elaborate and express to the class why I included the examples is definitely taking a risk on my behalf.
Goal 2 (15%)
Based on written communication: Uses language that communicates meaning to readers with clarity and fluency
This demonstrates my learning because after my revisions and feedback, I am communicating clearly and maturely to whom ever is reading “Beautiful chaos”. Not only have I communicated clearly and maturely, but I believe I also communicated emotionally so my reader can connect or understand how I felt through out a very tough time in my life, but as well when I started a more joyous chapter.
Goal 3 (15%)
Based on oral communication: Uses clear organizational patterns and is skillful at presenting content cohesively
This video demonstrates my learning because it allows me to verbally express to others a topic that is very important to me and that is relatively something I can relate to. With the help of a multimedia journalism piece I was able to describe something that happened roughly 3 years ago, that something being the Trump administration putting into affect Immigrants seeking asylum must wait in Mexico until granted asylum.
Goal 4 (15%)
Based on Problem solving skills: Identifies and evaluate multiple approaches for solving problems
I chose this picture because I believe the best way to try and solve any problem or situation is by visiting the place that needs help. So we can learn more on what exactly needs to be solved and what needs the most attention.
Goal 5 (5%)
Based on collaboration: works independently toward team goals by contributing efforts and meeting deadlines
This demonstrates contributing efforts to team goals because it shows my response to our discussion boards. I am validating my fellow peers opinions but also expressing my opinion respectfully.
