Be Assertive Learning Review

 The skills I've learned about in English are to being assertive, non- verbal language. This post is a review of the preparation for the assessment.

here is a link the teacher resource

Answer:

1) Aggressive- means it seeks to manipulate, control, dominate or abused others.
    Passive- means merely accept things to keep the peace no matter what the person needs or rights.
    Indirect- means it can be quite devious and manipulative as seen in aggressive behavior
    Assertive- means you need to maintain respectfully, defend your rights, and satisfy your needs

2) Assertive Communication is the ability to express positive and negative ideas and feelings in an open, honest, and direct way.

3) Describe the situation- be specific, objective, focus on behavior not motives.
    Describe your feelings- use "I" statements. Do not be an emotional focus on positive feelings related to your goals rather than the negativeness of the other person. Explain the way you feel.
    Describe the changes you want- be specific, but reasonable. State your course of action politely but firmly, if you have decided.

4) 'I' Statements - I want to share it with you.
    Think 'we' as well as 'me' -  When all the staff is in an emergency situation and you are the only person to help them.
    Be positive -  don't think the negative side.
    Thank them - Always thank them even though you ask them. 
    Go for agreement - you need to know when she/he has agreed for it.

5) Age- because they struggle when they have someone younger than themselves being assertive in their communication with them.
    Gender - some men have difficulty responding to an assertive woman, especially when they still hold to a belief that women should be more submissive, or at least appear to be so.    
    Bias - If someone in your friends with a bias toward a part-time job, like in Pak' n save or Warehouse, wants to become an architect, that friend bias may create a barrier that hinders them from being assertive about their hopes and dreams.

6) Talking face to face

7) high or low pitched, a monotonous or varying level

8) When you slouch, put your head down, look away, cross your arms, look at your phone, point your finger at them.

9) My mother told me to clean the bathroom then my brother distracting me when I'm cleaning the bathroom because he wants to play together online games. This was an assertive response and as a result, I talk her respectfully to not distracting me when I'm cleaning the bathroom and once I'm done, We play online games. 

10) Assertive, I don't want to change it because I'm feeling comfortable when I use an assertive response.

art design illustration progress

 

 Logo design illustration progress

For the past 2 terms, This is currently what my progress looks like. It might look chaotic and messy but this is what my progression looks like from these past terms. It is from planning my colour palette to the types of fonts that I'll use and position of elements on my logo. I experimented with different positions, shapes, colours, sizes, gradient and textures to see what fits the best.

Poster design illustration progress


The word of "first" means this is my first design of my poster. The "second" is some arrangement of design to find a right position of the poster. The "final" is the finish process for my design.  

Final poster 

I choose this one because i like the process for this poster like the grass and the three noodles bowl and the quote at the top, and I add many triangle colour to looks like a festival because in the Philippines so many festival have in the country.

This is my panel 1. As you can see at the top of my panel are all of my logo design, the other logo may not use because i choose the best or final logo and I'll pick 2 of them. I'll combined the one black and white colour version and the one colour version, at the bottom of these are the 3 process of poster design. I'll combined the (black and white) and colour version logo and the 3 process poster design to look like a series and sequences. So I have 2 Series and Sequences and at the bottom I have 2 three poster design process.

The next step for this panel 1 are

Internal Correspondence (instruction)

From: Meg McGregor

To: Staff members

CC: Office Manager

Date:  August 7, 2020

Subject: Fire drill


Good Evening everyone,


After the recent fire evacuation drill, I noticed that many people don’t know what to do during the drill. Although the fire alarm keeps on buzzing some staffs are still in the building. Some people that are in the building that time was not aware of what they are going to do during the drill and some of them even wandered to get a coffee! I will be listing some instructions on what to do during the fire evacuation drill.

  1. First, all fire exit must be clear at all times.
  2. Everyone must leave the building immediately and leave everything
  3. Go straight to the main car park and don't go anywhere else or return to the building.

These are safety precautions for everyone to follow. As soon as the alarm goes off, everyone should follow these rules to prevent further accidents. If you have any questions, see me at my office beside the manager's office or contact me by email MegMcgregor@workplace.com.nz.


Cheers,

Meg McGregor
Assistant Manager

Review

To: Harry, Manager
From:
Date:
Re: Recycling program in the staff kitchen

As per your request to put a recycling program in place. All waste paper, food, and plastic now go on into recycling bins. Harry's found the following issues:
  • Mostly the recycling bins are being used correctly (eg. plastics in the plastic bin, etc).
  • Harry has had mostly positive feedback from staff about the new system.
  • Some staff thinks it's a waste of time, but do follow the rules.
  • The food bin isn't emptied often enough and becomes smelly.
  • There is some confusion over the types of plastic that are recyclable.
As Harry was put in charge of the recycling bins in the staff kitchen, he has now been asked by his supervisor to send a quick update about kitchen recycling

"Where's the food?" my noodles food branch name


- The first one is a slight final logo design but this is not done because I'm thinking about some simple design. The second one is a bowl with my noodles food branch name covered by box, the noodles one need a bit of fix because not good to see. The third one i think this is my final design because looks simple and easy to read the branch name so this one need some colour design. The last one I don't know what I did but I'm think about for that and fix it.

I'm working on my final design to start and I'm still choosing the four of what I'm gone. I'm not working for the designing the logo. My next step is if I finish my final design I'm starting to design it.

Reflecting on the first 3 weeks of Esol

   
         I learned from the first 3 weeks in Esol is how do get the main idea in a short story. First, you need to pick keywords then you can write it down then you need to form 1 or 2 sentences using the keywords you got in the story. I think I need to focus on English Grammar because I'm not good to speak and write an English Grammar but I'll try my best to what we gonna do in Esol. I worried about to I don't know what we gonna do because if I call Mrs and I couldn't answer it I'm feeling worried and nervous. For the Spelling City list, I've encountered words that are series, valid, major, web, and involve.

READING RESPOND 1

Information about the text

Title of Book: Polynesian Dance Festival
Author: John Hart
Genre/Text Type:Narrative
Date Read: Feb. 19, 2020

One paragraph about the basic details of the text

This text was about Tongan Dance Group at Onehunga Primary School
I chose to read this text because I want to know how or what they do at Dance Group

One Paragraph about interesting details

One interesting/important character/event/theme/language feature was Taniela Teutau was the leader of the Tongan Dance Group
A quote/evidence that shows this is preparation and helped each other to prepare our performance.
This means that if you feel nervous when starting our performance, you will lose your nervousness.
This relates to me because when I’m performing or our presentation, I feel nervous but when I’m starting to perform my nervousness is gone.

A paragraph discussing links between the text and yourself, the world or other texts

I can relate to the main characters because I’m also nervous when so many people are watching you. But I’m doing well when we’re present.

The character Taniela Teutau was the leader of the Tongan Dance Group, which reminds me of only encouraging yourself when you present many people.

listing English learning goals for the year


                     My listing English learning goals for the year, I want to learn the English language little by little until I am fluent. I want to learn so that I can talk to others when I know the English language. For me, it is important to learn the English language because you can use it in any way like your communication with other people and future work, etc. The English language is my second language my first is Tagalog in the Philippines language. Sometimes I have nothing to say when other people talk to me use the English language. It's hard for me but I can learn the English language

                       When I came here to New Zealand, I changed my words a little bit because here in New Zealand use the English language so I'm trying hard to learn English languages and the accent. Hopefully, I learn the English language so I don't have to struggle. After 8 months of living in New Zealand, I am slowly learning the English language. So yeah, my listing English learning goals for the year is study and learn too.

BLOG POST EXEMPLAR

          My Visual art course for this year will be focussed on Art Design. I decide to pick a design this year. Last year I do painting but I don't have a folio because I'm new here. I will change it this year because is a challenge for me but I enjoyed it because I was able to paint what I was thinking. My kaupapa for the year will be based upon feminism/social conscience. This is something that interests me because I like all of the artists here because they work so well. 
        
         For here, I have decided on, Luba Lukova, Max Huber, and Alexander Rodchenko as my artist models for my 2.1. These artists will also help me to get started with 2.2 which is going to start of my folio.

2.1

  Luba Lukova                              Max Huber                                            Alexander Rodchenko
Artwork name: Brainwashing Artwork name: Nucleo quadrato   Artwork name: composition
Date it was made: 2010             Date it was made: 1980                   Date it was made: 1918
Media used: paintings                 Media used: painting                       Media used: printmaking







My kaupapa based on this theme is looking like this:

Theme: Environmental Protection
Ideas: Water pollution, cutting trees and air pollution

It is to show people that caring for our environment is worth it. That if we care about our environment it will give us back benefits. I'm going to show this by promoting it by poster, tags, and clothing. My own idea is to create something like a place that has plenty of trees and clear water.

MY ARTWORK NAME: Luba Lukova

A news item that interests me

                                                            A news item that interests me


      The news is about the Taal volcano eruption in the Philippines. This volcano is a large caldera filled by Taal lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines and is in the province of Batangas. This volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines. The volcano erupting in Tagaytay on Wednesday 22nd January 2020.
   
      The news is interesting to me because it's nice to see the volcano. It has a crater in the middle and attractive views of the Tagaytay area. Many people go to Tagaytay and to see the Taal volcano and it has been many years since the last volcanic eruption.

       The impact of this news is that. Many people in the province of Batangas have been evacuated. When it exploded many people left their homes because of the ash. Since the volcanic eruption, various places have gone to help the victims of the volcanic eruption.
     
       For me to evacuate immediately because the volcanic eruption is very dangerous, especially if you are near the volcano and are not afraid when things like volcanic eruptions occur.
