1) Participation:
Regarding Participation during our gym block I think I have done really well in this pillar/section of the course. I have been committed to showing up on time to class with p.e strip and a positive attitude to take on the day, I have never really forgotten gym strip, or skipped a class, there was only 2 times I have sat out or have been excused due to sickness. When I'm in gym class my level of participation is high, I love participating in group activities because there is time to work together but also as individuals. I consistently show up to classes with the right mindset and also with trying to be physically prepared, I will admit that there are a couple of times my level of participation was not the best and that I had lost motivation during those times like that one class when we played capture the flag, but I try my best to get that motivation and activity going again. I think my highest level of participation would definitely be in fitness activities and I definitely push myself to my full potential and hope to go beyond that during fitness because I get motivated when i think about finishing and knowing that i put time and effort into the activity. But I also give a lot of effort, focus, and participation during choice and regular classes, an example is when in choice and participating in volleyball I dislike when my peers just fool around and make it harder for opposing teams to play i don't think it's fair or fun for anyone but themselves when playing like that so when it happens so I try harder to maintain focus rather than start to drift off along with them. I also love choice classes when we play activities such as basketball or atomic volley and other things similar to that. I love these activities because my friends and I playing get very competitive with each and that motivates us to give it our all. I have managed to put in a consistent level of effort, focus physical participation and positivity into gym classes whether it is fitness or regular class. |

2) Social Responsibility and Contribution to the class:
Throughout the year I think I have maintained but improved in this pillar/section of the course. I say this because I have always encouraged my peers in our block and helped them with skills in volleyball that aren't particularly their strengths, I always have a positive attitude and also got along well with people even though some were complete strangers. I never needed reminders to behave properly during class because I think I focus on the activity well enough, I also don't cheat during games in class or my fitness results because I think there is really no point in that. I think cheating is just cheating yourself, because if you lose or have a bad score in something than it motivates you to beat your score or opponent and it helps you do better. As we moved throughout the course of the year, I have started developing more social responsibility and contribution, started to take more initiative by helping organize games and teams with Kiran when it came to basketball, and also helped organize teams and help set up when it came to volleyball and atomic volleyball without being asked because it was boring just standing around. I also not only continued to encourage and talk to people but got to really know my peers and talk to them not just as people who were in my class for only one period, but got to see their really unique and fun personalities which helped it become more approachable towards them and talk to them which i think made it more fun for everyone rather than being stuck in little groups. I think this area has been a success for me because I was able to maintain what i was capable of contributing to the class but also adding on to what I already did.
3) Healthy Living:
My fitness has definitely improved throughout the years and I have even though I am relatively fit and health conscious, but this year I have developed more motivation towards being fit and active because of what fitness and p.e has taught me. In the past I have always given a lot of effort towards gym class, and eating healthy but this year taught me things based on fitness activities that It will definitely be hard at first but after you get in to the rhythm and mindset, and have a solid plan than you'll do great and improve every time, I also learned that challenging yourself and pushing yourself out of comfort zones is good for you and will benefit you almost every sing time. This year was also a time for me to explore future plans regarding health and fit choices, because of fitness and p.e I have started to get into a routine of running and working out at home, and after doing fitness activities and being in the workout room I have been inspired to find apps and workout plans that i can adjust to what i want. During 5th period you can also find me in the Dance Studio with a group of peers either dancing or working on choreo, and having a good time while working up a sweat. I have also learned that working out at home is easy because if you have no equipment you can still find cool, creative and effective ways to work out. I would like to improve myself and my physical activity in the near future, and since I am in dance this semester I have been really into it and excelled at it and found this is always a good way to work up a sweat, I want to get back into dancing and try out for a team next year!
4) Digital Portfolio and Reflective skills:
I have posted 23 posts during the whole year, which is not bad considering a majority of the posts are long and about how i can improve and better myself and the class during fitness and choice, goals that i would like to reach and consistently withhold and also posts about healthy living outside of school. 13 out of my 23 posts actually have some sort of video or picture attached showing evidence of food choices, exercise outside of school, workout videos, workout room videos and links and also fitness plans not only for the workout room.My blog also includes the reflective post about the quality of my blog compared to others, a mid term post, a final post, and a post with evidence of social responsibility not to mention the multiple posts with fitness results regarding my improvement and scores in Fitness testing. When commenting and receiving comments I also take into consideration everything said and improve and do things from there doing my best to use tips and encouragement from peers and Mr. Neuf. I loved reading and commenting on other blogs because it was cool to see things from other peoples point of view, and also helping them with feedback and encouragment. I believe that this year I did great, and that this final post showed and summed up how I did in this class.
This year has been a great experience for me not only because of learning so much about my strengths and weaknesses but also because I got to work around amazing and unique people who encouraged me and made p.e awesome. Over all I think that in this class based on the progress, physical participation, and blog I deserve an A.
