Blog 2: Topic Choice

a. My topic is Theme Park Architecture, because I really want to pursue architecture as my career and I thought this would be the branch of architecture that would allow the most creativity, (which is something I really want in a carreer).

• Effective Learner: In all my classes I plan to ask for help from teachers and my classmates when I don't understand something that's being taught, which will greatly help me be an effective learner because I learned that asking for help from others can lead to new perspectives on how to accomplish the work I am struggling on.
• Effective Communicator: I plan to not talk as much in class while a lesson is being taught, and try to save my conversations until all my work is completed which will make me a more efficient as a communicator because I will be respectful towards my teachers lecturing and my other classmates trying to learn.
• Effective User of Technology: I will be a more effective user of technology by constantly checking the blog everyday to see if any new updates have been posted, or using technological devices to record homework and acquire knowledge for research. This will make me a more effective user of technology because I will constantly incorporate technology into my daily life.
• Effective I-Poly Citizen: I will be an effective I-Poly citizen by participating in as many I-Poly events that promote school spirit and unity (such as pep rally, dances, fundraisers, etc.) and through group and indvidual projects I will make sure I do my best and keep up my responsibilities to my group and myself (such as being on time, or willing to make sacrifices). This will make me an effective I-Poly citizen by adding contributions to better I-Poly's community as a whole.
