Final Portfolio Assessment

Participation:

In class I have never forgotten my PE strip and for the times I wasn't present in class, I excused all of them with a phone call or a note from a teacher. During activities in class I always put an effort into being constantly active and to participate in in various games. My main motivation towards this is my goal to constantly improve myself in and out of school. Even times when I don't favor a specific game or activity, I still put 100% into what I'm doing.

Social Responsibility:

During class hours, I help out with setting up the equipment, whether it's setting up the nets for badminton, bringing the baseballs and bats when we go out in the field, or bringing out/ putting away the nets when we play handball. I do all of these things without being asked. I would say that I'm always positive and honest when we do an activity. I would always smile and laugh and never get into any arguments with anyone, or say how something sucks. Leadership wise, I think that I do encourage others during and after games. I say thinks like "nice one" or "hey man you're on a role" when I think someone did good. When I'm in the change rooms I give pats on the back and talk about the "highlights" of today.

Healthy Living:

When I receive my fitness scores they teach me what I need to work on and how I improved over my past attempts. Through out the year I've noticed that I improved physically. I can now run for longer periods of time and at a faster pace. I've bulked up quite a bit in my chest and arms, and maintained my current weight of 135 pounds. Concerning my after school activities, I go to my taekwondo classes on Sunday, play badminton weekly, go swimming and workout at the YMCA. I also take occasional walks on nice days. As for dietary choices, I have recently started to go to this website called My Fitness Pal, and it keeps track to how many calories, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates you consume every day. I've changed my diet to focus more on fruit and vegetables rather than meats and alternatives because I discovered that a male my age should have 8 servings of fruit and vegetables but I only consume 4 each day.  I've currently done nine post and motivated to continue and further improve my diet.

Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills:

At the moment I have 22 detailed posts on my blog with one or more pictures on most of them. I am still working on finishing at least 25 posts on my blog. I plan on putting more posts about things that I do outside of school like taekwondo. One current problem that I have with the blog is that I don't have video of myself, mainly because I don't want to be on YouTube. However, I do try to compensate for it with pictures.
