After learning the channels of communication learners are placed into groups to design and deliver a short fifteen minute presentation on a range of subjects in which I provide. This is a positive teaching method to enable the learner to identify their skills and qualities which acts as a positive tool to help build their confidence and reinforcing their positive attributes and qualities. I then give them hand-outs (that are written at an appropriate level) of the sending and receiving of a message. This is a fully engaging and active lesson which I manage in a sensitive manner, making sure that the more withdrawn learners are comfortable the and not feeling under pressure. I give the learners constructive feedback on a one to one basis asking them to reflect on their indivual performances and evaluate what went well and what didn’t go so well. This also gives the learner to address any issues or difficulties that they have identified.

For this Weekly Writing Portfolio, I have chosen the pieces that is m proud of. The first piece that I have chosen is about a girl who wakes up in a shed with no memory of the days before. I wrote this fictional story for two weeks, August 15-21. When I first started writing, I got so many ideas, that I couldn't stop myself. So, I ended up writing for almost three hours! It was only after I finished that I noticed how long I had been writing. I decided to share my story for two weeks, since it was so long. I have chosen this piece because it was the first weekly writing I completed, and I believe I have improved this semester. The next piece is haiku poems that I wrote for September 19. I actually only ended up writing seven poems in an hour, because it was harder than I thought it would be. I decided to wrote poems this week because it was the time you have said to get out of our comfort zones and try something new. I had to research the rules of haiku poems, because I had totally forgotten . The reason I chose this piece is because it was the first time I tried something new, and I don't think it turned out to be a complete failure. The third piece is a first person narrative story, which I wrote on September 26. This story is about a few friends who are having a sleepover. Even though this story is not based on a real sleepover, the events seem very likely to happen. I have chosen this piece because I really enjoyed writing this narration.

Analysis of findings: I dislike conflict and would do whatever possible to avoid it. Thus, when I took the conflict managing questionnaire and received the title of accommodating, I knew that there was no mistake. In a dispute, I would allow the other person to get what they want and not project or accomplish my own. I do not want to upset anyone in any way; I only want to be kind to and support the person. At the same time, I feel that giving and satisfying someone else’s needs would be more rewarding than if I were to satisfy my own. This point of view has become engrained in me that I find it difficult to stick to my opinions in

If I am fighting for my own interests I tend to just back down because I am not competitive and typically whatever it is not that important to me. One of my favorite tools from this chapter is the conflict prevention aspect. This helps me know what to look for from my employees and allows me to take these aspects and take them into consideration to prevent issues from arising so that I don’t have to deal with them in the future. Mainly, I will utilize the rules for a collaborative organization: everyone comes and expresses any issues in a manner or trying to solve them not just sulking and make decisions together. This will establish trusting relationships that will make our team more functional and successful.
