my very first assignment blog

for our very first assignment blog we made a bio cube, a bio cube is a box with a topic about ourselves on each side. the six topics were; personality, background, picture, obstical, significance, and quotation. the bio cube was basically to give eachother more information about ourselves so we could get to know eachother better. I spent hours writing then re-writing each paragraph of every topic because I wanted to make sure that it was true and everything was meaningful. 

if I could name one high-light of this assignment it would have to be sharing the "personality" side of my bio cube, mainly because I got to explain to everyone how I am when you first me and and how the way I act could change over the time of meeting me. If I could name one low-light of this assignment it would have to be writing the "obstical" side of my bio cube, and that was mainly because I had to think really hard about all of the upsetting thing that I dislike about myself and which would affect me the most, so writing that small paragraph put me in a bad mood and that was probably the least "fun" thing to happen throughout this whole assignment. but in the end I had a lot of fun doing this assignment, learning about everyone in period 5, and where everyone comes from. (listening to the "background" side of their bio cube when we presented) something I could have done to make my assignment better for me would have to have been to rehearse what I would has more, I feel like I wasn't prepared enough, I sometimes caught myself figiting and stuttering due to the pressure and nerves of not being ready.

A big lesson that I learned throughout this assignment was not to be ashamed of who you are, I learned a whole lot when all of the girls talked about their "background" & "personality" and nobody was ashamed of where they came from or what their personality is like. ultimately they weren't afraid to be themselves and to be themselves in front of anyone who could critisize them. 

I choose to believe that I used all 6 of my GLO's while doing this assignment. I believe that I was being a self directed learner throughout this assignment, because I was responsible enough to finish it on time and work on it efficiently on my own. I believe that I was being a community contributor throughout this assignment, because while we shared our diffrent sides of our bio cube, I

helped support them and pay attention to them when they needed us to. I believe I was being a complex thinker throughout this assignment, because while building the cube for the bio cube, we had to think of ways to cover the box with construction paper so we wouldn't be able to see the cardboard, and I thought of my own creative way that I would say helped me out more than to just copying the other people around me, because I used less paper and I'm happy with the way my cube came out. I believe that I was being a quality producer throughout this assignment, because I spent a lot of my time to make my bio cube as best I could. I worked really hard to make sure my bio cube was in good quality and it was something that I was sure that I could be proud of. i believe that i was being an effective communicator throughout this assignment, because whenever I had any quotions about the assignment I wasn't afraid to ask my group leaders or Mr. Ing. I asked whatever and whenever I needed to make sure that my assignment was done properly! (:

I believe that I was being an effective and ethical user of technology throughout this assignment, because I had to use a variety of technological items. to type, to print, and to search any information that I needed for this assignment in particular. 

for this assignment we had to share our bio cubes in 3 different circumstances. the first one being right in front of our audience, so we could talk calmly and wouldn't have to raise our voice for everyone to hear. the second one being very far away from our audience. I mean the speaker on the opposite side of the cafeteria as the audience, kind of far away. in that instance we had to speak louder, for the audience to hear us better and understand what were saying. the last place being speaking outside with our audience, with all of the animals and outside noises in the background. so we would have to speak even louder so the audience wouldn't get distracted with all of the other sounds that would be there as well. we use different voices in our everyday lives, it could be to call somebody from far away, or to tell somebody a secret but we use them all the time, and it's important because you wouldn't want to use an innaproriate voice to speak to people.
