Active Learning Reflection

1. I'm prepared every day by bringing my gym strip and being prepared to work as hard as I can. I think I show that I'm willing to participate because I usually break a sweat and I always try to push myself. The days that I usually do well on are the fitness days and the days that we can go into the weight room because in the weight room you are not usually told what to do in there so it gives you complete control of how hard you'll work that day and what you do to work hard, I really like to have complete control over this. On the fitness days I always try to work quite hard because I think that the fitness days are for working hard, all classes are for working hard but I think fitness is more so because we're usually presented with more physically demanding challenges than classes that are not fitness. Also some of the exercises we do (Insanity, the partner 30 second on 30 second off thing etc. ) are varied in which parts of the body are used which is much more challenging and if you try hard, rewarding. The days that I have trouble with are usually the ones that we play sports because usually those classes are dominated by the big, athletic guys who think that only they and their friends should be able to touch the ball, also I don't have many sports skills (Catching, throwing, keeping track of rules etc. )

2. I don't think I bring too much to the class because I'm not really a popular person who people see and in school it seems like your opinion is only valued if you are socially visible, nor do I really try to talk to my peers which probably adds to social invisibility. I'd say that social interaction and attitude are probably my weak points because I tend to be quite bad at speaking to other people (Especially those who I go to school with) so that makes me a bit reluctant to try to speak to them. My attitude probably comes off as bad or unhealthy one because I don't really socialize much or seem all that pleased to be there but I actually do enjoy class most of the time.

3. I do push myself quite a lot on the fitness days and I always try to keep moving during the activities. I quite like the obstacle course, the 30 second on, 30 second off one and the one that Mr.Vaughn made up. My fitness goals for this year is probably cardio endurance and to work on my upper body strength.

4. To me leadership means taking charge and doing what you think is best for the group you may be leading but also being able to understand and accept other people's ideas. I'm not all that sure who is a leader in our class because there doesn't seem to be a defined leadership role that needs to be taken. (Besides the role of the teacher and the class assistants.)

5. As I said before, I really want to improve my endurance and upper body strength. I think I'm proud of how much harder Iv'e been pushing myself this year than I did in grade eight also I think my health has gotten a bit better because I eat quite healthily.

For this term I think I deserve a low A, around eighty eight or ninety percent.
