  7. Block 2, Edward, H (5/5)

    A. #1 Critical Thinking & Problem Solving (5/5)

    B. “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”-Mahatma Gandhi (10/10)

    C. One solution that could promote critical thinking and problem solving is splitting the class into small groups. The small groups then have to work to figure out solutions to the same problem. But each group can not use the same solution to the problem as the other groups making it more vigorous as time elapses. (25/25)

    D. In 5th grade in science class we were given a project where we would take an egg and drop it from a flight of stairs. The goal of the project was to design a helmet that would protect the egg from cracking when it hit the ground. This promotes critical thinking and problem solving because you are forced to think of a design that will protect your egg and you are working with a limited amount of supplies. (20/20)

Personally, I believe both turned out for the better and I was successful in what I had to do. (20/20)

    C. In this class, there are many things that people can do to promote the development of the skill. I believe that this class requires curiosity and imagination in order to be successful.

    D. During my sophomore year, I took the class titled Sports and Entertainment Marketing. This class directly promoted the survival skill of Initiative & Entrepreneurialism.

It took a lot of effort, time and dedication in order to do a very small scale project which is directly related to this survival skill. (20/20)

    A.#7 Curiosity and Imagination (5/5)
    B.“To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything”- Albert Einstein (10/10)
    C.To promote the development of this skill specifically in this class I can work very hard and go above and beyond the minimum. Also I can go beyond the ordinary and add things to my work that other people may have not done yet. In addition to those two also I can go out of my comfort zone to find out how things work or how to do things because that is important on learning and to figure things out. (25/25)
    D.A project or assignment that has directly promoted one of the 7 survival skills was in leadership when we had to do a final project and it was a scrap book. I had to use skill number 7 because in order to get a really good grade I had to think out of the box to make my scrapbook stick out from everyone else’s. It encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone and use creativity to make my scrap the best it could be and stick out from everyone else’s. (20/20)

    A.1 Critical Thinking And Problem Solving (5/5)
    B. "What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence." - Samuel Johnson(10/10)
    C.This quote is talking about before you think you can do something easily you need to be able to work hard. In this class an example of this would be when we think a project might be easy but actually have to work really hard at it to get it done. Also a problem solving skill is when we are not taught how to do something so we are on our own to figure it out. (25/25)
    D.In DDP two years ago I had to use a lot of problem solving skill when no one knew how to use the software to draw parts on the computer. I had to try to figure it out myself and ask others if they figured out something I couldn’t. Life is full of problems and everyone needs to figure out their own problems. (20/20)

    Ability & Adaptability (5/5)

    “You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.” -Rosalynn Carter (10/10)

    To know that you can do something and doing it is two different things. When you can

    do something and not do it you are only hindering yourself. By doing everything to your

    best ability you become better. Always pushing harder. Never taking the minimum and

    settling for your work. (25/25)

    D. In school every teacher is different. Some like one writing style while the others like

    something completely different. From year to year and class to class to be able to

    succeed you have to have the ability to adapt to the class.

    E. In multiple projects I’ve had half way through I had to change for multiple reasons. I can’t find what I want on a topic or it no longer interests me. So I would have to change it. I learned how make up the work fast and still look nice and not look like I did it in half the time.(19/20)

(25/25)

    D. In all science classes, I have used skill 6-Accessing and Analyzing information. In Biology, when we had to dissect the frog, I had to use visual information to see if the frog was a male, or female, as well as whether or not it was a healthy frog. In Earth Science, again I had to use visual skills to determine the “ethnicity” of a rock, like whether or not it was Igneous, Metamorphic, or Sedimentary. Finally, in chemistry, we use hearing and visual cues to determine if whatever was in the crucible was boiling or if it was stagnant. Overall, all of these senses helped lead to conclusions and a final positive analysis. (20/20)

    B. The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.

    C. We could develop this skill by playing communication games that promote implying the actually message versus what was heard. As said in the quote a large part of communication are not the words but the tone and body language. So understanding them could be beneficial, there are many activities online to learn body language and tone so it would be helpful to review those if you wish to have better communications skills.

    B. “Curiosity is a willing, a proud, and eager confession of ignorance.” ~ S.Leonard Rubinstein (7/10)
    C. Curiosity and imagination are the building blocks of the world and the internet is like a shiny new playground that can now let people have careers, recreational blogs, it is the biggest shopping center ever made and has something for everyone. Today instead of asking their parents what certain things mean, children can just simply google it. The computer has taken over the world and a person can do pretty much anything on it. In order to develop curiosity into grand understanding I will use a new-found use of the internet and other computer applications to promote curiosity and imagination. (25/25)
    D. Currently, as well as last year, I have taken Online Publishing with Mr. Currin and I am also taking Creative Writing with Mr. Edward. Both of these courses involve the use of imagination. One of the many requirements of Online Publishing is to create a blog on any topic under the sun and post about it weekly. This I feel definitely falls under imagination and curiosity. Each blog post has to be something new and it might not always be somehting you know about very well. Also creating a blog topic is difficult and so is finding what the topic of a post is in the middle of the school year when all your ideas are tapped out. (19/20)
