Intrapersonal Skills

Interpersonal skills are the life skills we use everyday to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. IPS allows us to relate to others. People who have worked on developing strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their professional and personal lives

Focus

• Communication
• Feedback/Feedforward
• Support and encouragement

Communication

Communication is the sending and receiving or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using come other medium such as body language between people

Effective communicator will use:

• Body language to engage
• Use language that is simple at a suitable volume
• Will be genuine and concise to keep relevance

Effective communication:

Communication is a two-way process that requires active listening and cooperation from both parties

Specific Examples of effective communication

• Delivering a team talk before or during the game outlining key points of focus e.g. “Remember to drop down low to set yourself up for the scrum”
• Thumbs up to a player who is doing something well
• Smiling and clapping hands to encourage and attract players attention
• Enthusiasm and positive words
• Clear talk and easy to understand sentences
• Appropriate style and tone for the situation e.g. Whispering one to one, shouting, calm, excited

Body Language

Body Language accounts for 70% of all information sent and received between people.

Brainstorm the various of ways that body language can be used to express confidence, enthusiasm and annoyance during an activity

• Giving kids high five when they did something well
• Facial expression to show emotions
• Clap when the team score

Active Listening

Listening skills are used to understand the position of others and gauge thoughts and feelings. Active listening is often reinforced by positive body language which shows the speaker that the listener is concentrating on what they are saying

Good listening makes speaker feel valued and that they are being taken seriously. This improves attitudes and participation within the group

Opponents of active listening

Eye Contact Provides attention and acknowledgement of speaker	Minimal Encouragers Short phrases designed to encourage the speaker to continue
Facial Expressions Used to acknowledge and respond to feeling of speaker	Open Questions Encourages speaker to provide further information
Body position Stand and position of body parts in relation to speaker	Reflecting Repeating information to acknowledge feeling and show understanding

Title:: Demons

Artist:: Imagine Dragons

Text type: Song

I really like this song because it is really relatable and has a deep meaning to it. This song has really good lyrics and rhythm. This song was released on 4th of September 2012. Demons by imagine dragons was one of the 11 songs of the album ‘Night Visions’. I think this song is about everyone having a dark side.

I wanna hide the truth

I wanna shelter you

But with the beast inside

There’s nowhere we can hide

The lyrics made me realise that we all have dark side and that we don’t want other to see it. I personally think that everyone has a secret that they don’t want others to know about. Even I myself relate to this. We try to bury our secrets, but we can’t do so. Perhaps, we should not hide it and just move on. But I think that will be hard for most people. For me, it is hard to show my ‘dark side’ for I think that everyone will judge me. I think this relates to most teenagers because most teenagers are trying to please other people by hiding their ‘dark side’. Unfortunately, our ‘dark side cannot be hidden forever, it will always come out weather we like it or not.

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

This part of the song makes me think about when we are down, sad or if something doesn’t go the way we want it to, we just fold or in other words give up. This is really relatable because some people always seems to give up when things doesn’t work out the way we want it. We all know that folding is one of the smartest move in a game, because sometimes it’s what you have to do to prevent further losses. So folding isn’t so bad after all . ‘And the saints we see, Are all made of gold’. I think this means that some of us are materialistic. I myself admit that sometimes I am being materialistic too because I sometimes think that buying things makes me happy.

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

This made me aware of the fact that most people try to be good to other but our darkness always comes out. We try to be nice to other people but we sometime have bad intentions. We do things that would benefit us more than other people. I can say that I am also guilty about that. This is what I thought about when I heard ‘No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed’.

Don't wanna let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don't wanna hide the truth

Most of us wants to help other. It’s given. But even when we try to be helpful to others and be a good person, we cannot control ourselves and still fail to do so. We always reveal our ‘dark side’. This means that no matter how hard we try to control ourselves and be a good person, we still fail to manage ourselves.

Title: Meet Facebook’s Mr.Nice

Author: Nick Bilton

Text type: Artice

Date: 31/3/17

Summary

This article is about Arturo Bejar which may have the most difficult job on Facebook’s employees. He is not responsible for increasing advertising revenue or keeping the website alive 24 hours a day. Mr. Bejar has a much more inscrutable task: teaching the site’s 1.3 billion users, especially its tens of millions of teenagers, how to be nice and respectful to one another.

“When Facebook offered more developed responses like “This post is mean. It makes me feel sad and I don’t want it on Facebook,” 85 percent of teenagers who wanted a post removed sent a message.” I can relate to the ‘85 percent’ of teenagers a lot because it gives us more options. This makes reporting posts easier and faster. Having “it’s embarrassing” as an options when reporting a post makes it a lot straightforward. Even after they have put emotions like quoted, there are still a lot of other emotions us teenagers may feel towards the posts put up on facebook. Maybe Mr.Bejar can add more specific emotions. I personally think that having blank boxes available will also be helpful due to that the report will be more specific. Having more options makes its better for some people as Dr. Marc Brackett - director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence - said “teenagers need more pathways and options to voice their feelings.”

I think having Mr.Bejar and his team is really helping lots of people. For Instance, they are making it uncomplicated for Facebook users to report a post they do not want in the platform. By their work, not only they help making people report post effortless but it also makes the person know that they’re hurting other people. “Mr. Bejar said, his team is experimenting with sounds to help people convey how they feel.” This again help facebook be a more friendly website for all ages

Evaluation / Reflection Questions

Our group researched about homelessness and poverty which is an issue globally as well as New Zealand, we can help stop this issue by raising funds, raising awareness etc. We made posters that will help raise awareness throughout the school. These posters were made with the help of online websites such as Pixlr web editor and Canva poster maker. We stuck our posters in places around the school where students usually spend their time during morning tea and lunch time. We couldn’t work as much as other groups because not both of us is at school for some days.

We achieved our goal to create posters to help raise awareness. We also achieved to raise awareness which is the main purpose of the whole project. I can say this because I personally saw other student reading our poster that we stuck on the windows and doors.

I am unsure whether it had impact on others lives but we made posters that would attract other people. We made poster to make others understand how homelessness and poverty is an issue. We also put the website of organizations where people can donate to help stop this issues but we are uncertain whether or not the organizations received donation from the people that saw our posters.

If I was to do it again, I would make a better poster to attract more people to read them. I would fund raise to make sure that I can enrich and improve the lives of others. I would work harder to complete work so I can do more than i did this time.

PBL was a good way of learning in groups as well as individually. It helped us be more responsible for our own learning. It also boost our researching skills and cooperation with our group. It really helped us learn how to manage ourselves during class.

What i learnt through this process, i learnt how to work as a group, and individually. Research and share ideas with the group members. Design posters and edit them with using online websites, making a powerpoint with the information we gathered and how we worked individually and as a group. How to present to an audience properly and talk in front of an audience.

How i felt working in our group, We worked Individually and Together but when we worked together things happened faster. So we worked together which made it better and faster but we did research individually because it would be faster that way. One could research Homelessness and The Other Would research Poverty and then later share our ideas and put into one.

What i learnt through this process, i learnt how to work as a group, and individually. Research and share ideas with the group members. Design posters and edit them with online websites, making a powerpoint with gathered information and how we worked. How to present to an audience properly and talk in front of a big audience.
