Reflection In Music
When I started at the start of this music module I had never touched of thought about play drums I think I have improved. I can now play a rock beat I can tell when I have done something wrong and I can start again and fix it. This module I worked with a small group with three others and all of us have learnt and gained feedback from each other if we hit the wrong drum someone in our group would correct us we had even rotations and we would play for a certain time then switch. One new goal I can set is to be able to play double bass in our rock beat I could even aim for three. At the start one challenge I faced was hitting the right drum at the right time after some practice I had the skills to play.

How you can become autonomous - 9DV
To become autonomous you will have practice and practice and learn what skill as much as you can one way to tell if you have become autonomous you will able to do it without seeing. For example you might practice a drum beat alot and you might be really good at you will be able to play the drum beat without looking if you want an autonomous skill you will have to want to do that you can't become autonomous without liking what you doing. an autonomous skill is a practised skill that you know of by heart and you can remember it and do it with hesitation and you can do it in front of others.

Career Management Competencies 9DV - Dillon
In this careers module we have been learning about to reflect about ourselves and others and think what we are good at and what we need to work on. We have also learnt what qualities we need in some jobs some qualities could be working with others or speaking a different language some jobs you can't work without these skills.
We have learnt what a career actually is at the start we thought it was just a job but now we know it can be anything you want it to be, it could be a paid job or a unpaid voluntary job it could be to explore the world or write a book or just to take care of someone.

We figured an element is made of one element only one then we got a small piece of magnesium and then lit the bunsen burner then held the magnesium under the blue flame a little bit later it lit up and made a bright white flame then later to go solid into a white powdery solid that we could not turn back into the original elements.A compound is a mixture of of mutuplebule elements that have been combined chemically.

Before his successful businesses microsoft Bill and one of his colleagues Paul Allen started a company called Traf-O-Data in the early 1970s there company read and analyzed data from roadways amd then created reports for traffic engineers.

Bill Gates is the person who has donated the most money donated to charity.
