Blog 19: Senior Project and ESLR's

BLOG 19
1. The ESLR I have excelled at the most is being an "Effective Communicator."

2. I believe that I have done the best at being an Effective Communicator because of the fact that I find it very easy to convey my message to others as well as find compromises that ensure everyone is happy. Although at some points I may be loud, I can find a way to settle down and listen to a person without interruptions. Also, teaching karate makes sure I communicate the message to the students well, otherwise they will not get the lesson.

3.



Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn this picture the right way.
This was me helping teach a class alongside two other black belts. You need to be an effective communicator to make sure that the lesson flows well and to ensure that you have synergy with the other black belts.

BLOG 16: 2 Hour Meeting Answer #2

1. What is key in winning a karate sparring division?

2. My second answer to my essential question is knowing your enemy.

3/4. - When you can psych your opponent, you increase your chances of winning.  (WB, Source 18)
    - When you know your opponent, it makes fighting them easier. (Personal Experience)
    - When you know your opponent, you can prepare for their style a bit easier. (Examples, Professional boxers and mixed martial arts fighters get sparring partners that try to imitate their opponents style)

5. I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by finding more research as well as testing this answer first hand, by studying my opponents in an upcoming tournament, and preparing myself.

Topic Choice: Karate

Blog 2

a. My topic is karate because it has basically created me as a person. It's one of the most influential aspects as to why I have my outgoing attitude, as well as why I am very confident in myself. Karate has also sculpted me physically which obviously offers its benefits. These reasons made me want to do karate as a senior topic to show my way of paying tribute.
b. iPoly Citizen: I plan to reinforce traits of a spectacular iPoly citizen such as teamwork, and helping others. In life you will be forced to work with a variety of people, whether it be in a college class, or at a work setting, and karate will only teach me the deeper parts of teamwork and working with others.
    Effective Communicator: I plan to be doing more involving karate that also means more teaching it, and what a better way to communicate, than to teach. (communicate to the student) Not only does it communicate, but you have to communicate very effectively if you want what you are teaching to stick.
    Effective Learner: Another reason karate helps boost what I accomplish is that I can also learn. In karate, there is always more to learn, meaning you can never truly stop, there is constant progress and growth, which  helps at iPoly and in life as a whole.
    Effective User of Technology: Although this one is difficult to incorporate into my topic, I plan to use technology to do extensive research therefore making me an "Effective User of Technology" as well as making me better at finding facts about something.
