Unit IV Competencies

   At this juncture, you should be familiar with the nine NCC competencies.  In Unit IV, we will emphasize effective citizenship, group interaction, aesthetic judgment, and valuing.  You will be expected to develop your awareness and skills in these ability areas throughout this unit; we hope that you will find opportunities to develop in several of the other five competencies as well (communication, critical thinking and analysis, problem solving, information technology, global awareness).  NOTE: Be sure to keep all of the work that you create and develop for this unit (electronic and hard copies) so that it can be used in your year-end e-portfolio.
