Description of Work/Assignment: Think of a project idea that will last one whole semester that the community can benefit from.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? A junior project is self-driven. Self Directional skills are the 21st-century skill that suits this entire semester-long junior project the most. I have the ability to do this project on my own with a little bit of help. I have my own timeline and goal setting. Having planned out what I need to do next and what I already have done. What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? It’s hard to say since I feel like I haven’t progressed much. But I am proud of my general idea. I knew from the start I did not want a basic project. I wanted to do something that I myself could never think of. I am proud to see the smiles and excitement from other people who think I have chosen to do an incredible project. How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? The junior seminar class has let me be as self-driven as possible. I like it because in a way I can be able to go at my own pace and do my own thing without judgment. I finally am learning to be responsible and independent. What was most difficult about completing this task? Finding out how I can make my project more rigorous. I had a better idea at the start. However, my plan was not going according to plan as there were things I would not be able to accomplish. So I had to think of another way to continue doing my idea because I did not want to give up. I was told my project was not rigorous enough. But my problem is now solved. How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently? There is nothing I wish to improve. However, I wish I had known of the circumstances along the way so I would not have to be troubled. How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This would be entirely new for me. Last year I didn’t get much of a chance to do any projects or think of a rough idea. I am so glad I will be able to do this next year! How can you apply this to future learning? This class will give me experience for next year’s Senior Seminar class. I won't have to stress about what I want to do since I hopefully plan to carry out my junior project into my senior year. |
