Final Portfolio Assessment - 2013/14

Participation:  My attendance has been good and I get changed into my gym strip before Mr. Neufeld comes and starts the class, also I have never come late to gym. I have brought my gym strip every day of gym. During games on choice days, or just regular gym blocks with just our class, I've participated more since beginning of the year. Even if we weren't playing an activity that was in my comfort zone. I've made many small improvements such as me getting out of my comfort zone and trying something new like speedball. Also in dodgeball, in the beginning of the year i was usually the one at the back hiding but over the year i started coming forward and actually playing the game. And like, in capture the flag. I was usually on defense but one day Ashley and I ran across the line and we both made it to the safety zone and i ended up getting 1 football and 1 frisbee. My fitness level  has increased since begging of the year,, mostly because i pushed myself especially during the beep test and my peers encouraging me to continue which motivated me.On choice days I usually have chosen games that i haven't done so i can get the experience or the games that I'm not good at so i can get better. For the participation category I think I deserve 25/25.

 Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class - Whenever we are playing a game or during fitness, I encourage others by giving them hi fives or by saying "good job", encouraging words. This make the other person feels good about themselves it build confidence.If someone is alone and does'nt have a partner i would include the person in our group.Anytime Mr. Neuf  or our TA is organizing  games or teams, I would pay attention to see if i could do anything to help or to just understand how to play this game or to see which team i have been put into.I usually help get equipment but I mostly help by putting away equipment like for dodgeball i will help put the extra dodgeballs away or in capture the flag and ultimate I'll help set up and collect the cones, football or frisbees. I have positive attitude towards every activity we do in gym and towards others. I figured out that if you start the pe class with a negative attitude your most likely to hate the activity that we were going to do but if you start with positive attitude you are most likely to have a good time and enjoy the activity. I like trying something new to get the experience. For my Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class, I think I deserve 21/25.

 Healthy Living- Each time we did the beep test I have improve each one. I started off at a 7.7 and ended off with a 8.2. I was amazed with my scores.In grade 9 I took foods, we learned all about healthy eating so this it wasn't a big deal because i was already was eating healthy. It's really important to try and have the four food groups in mostly all of your meals for insistence for breakfast you can have scrambled eggs with toast on the side and a glass of orange juice.Sometimes, when my whole family is free we all go and play tennis, its so much fun and intense i love it or occasionally my mom and i would go for a walk around the neighborhood. If not i have this app on my ipod. What it is it  has different exercises that you can do in 7 minutes for example like jumping jack, plank, v- sits,lunges etc. i usually do that at least once a day unless if i skipped a day i would have to make it up the next day. For Healthy Living I think I deserve 18/25.

Plank

v-sits

Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills: First when I heard we had to do blogs I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do. This was my fist time doing blogs for pe so at the beginning of the year I was still confused on what to do but as the year went by I got the use to it. So my blog  has improved since beginning of the year, now I'm regularly posting about what I did in pe with evidence. By posting photos, it allowed me to see if i lacked in structure or not, if i did i could improve it.I usually read my peers blogs to see what they took from the activity that we did and to comment on them to encourage them and to give them tips to improve if they need it. My goals is to continue eating healthy and maintain my fitness level by doing activities during the summer such as playing tennis, riding my bike, playing basketball, going for a jog, run, go skating etc. When I do exercise at home its good to search up what muscle you want to work on so it would be much easier just like what our class did in the weight room.For my Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills I think I deserve 22/25.
