What It Means To Be a Communicator

by

To be a communicator means to be someone who tells others about their ideas. You also to listen to other people’s ideas and not make fun of them. We also have to help each other when we need help. Like for homework assignments or projects. When you’re playing a sport, it’s really important to be a communicator. You have to work as a team and tell each other your plans and ideas on how to win.

I am a communicative learner because I use different languages (English and Mandarin) to express myself and I listen to other people’s ideas. Like when we were choosing a game to play as our final project, Sydney wanted Double Tag and we agreed. When we play games like basketball, soccer or capture the flag, we have to work together to win. Like in capture the flag, we planned to have one person who’s good at sports to run towards the flag. Then because everyone thinks that that person’s going to take the flag for himself and he or she’s not like a diversion, most of the people will run after him. Then we all run in and one of us grabs the flag and we run for it.

I can improve by maybe talking more when we do projects together. Because I’m always the one who just sits there quietly and agrees with everyone. This is why Mr.V only lets us have one computer when we do assignments with computers in groups. So that we would TALK.

As I said, I think the area I need improvement is when I’m working in a group. Like for the health project on the nervous system I barely talked. All I said was that there’s no ink in the marker. And I just nodded my head. Also I think that I should ask more questions during class. Because I almost never ask the teacher and always ask my friends for some reason.

This is why you should be a good communicator.

What Does it Mean to Be Reflective?

by

Being reflective means that you go back and reflect what you’ve done deeply and carefully. Sometimes you use a rubric to reflect. You see how you’ve done and see how you can improve. It’s like double checking.

I am reflective because I read over the my work again and grade myself and see how I can do better.I also watch the videos I do to see how I can improve. Like to see if I can hear myself. Or maybe the camera is shaking. Also when I do sports or something, when I get home I think of strategies on how I can win. And when someone gives me advice on how I can improve, I listen.

I can be more reflective by taking more time to reflect. Sometimes I only reflect for like 1 minute. If I reflect longer I can improve it better because I thought about way more. If I reflect for like 1 minute, it might not make much of a difference anyway. And if you don’t reflect at all. You will improve very little. And that’s not going to help you.

This is what it means to be reflective, how it’s important , how I am reflective, and how I can improve.

What It Means To Be Balanced

Definition-They understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.

Being balanced means you undestand how it’s important to balance knowledge, exercise and emotions to be a good person. You need to be happy, smart, and get exercise.

I am a balanced learner because I am smart, happy, and get a lot of exercise. I am smart because I do the assignments and listen to the teacher during class. I get a lot of exercise during PE and sometimes at home. I am just happy all the time for some reason.

I need to improve to be more balanced by maybe doing my assignments and do them SLOWLY and not rush through it.
