I. Describe the Assignment and Goals
For Work Sample 6 I chose the Bechdel Essay for Humanities. The goal of the assignment was to watch a movie or read a book, I chose to watch a movie and after I was finished I had to answer a series of questions that make up 3-4 paragraphs. The questions were to see if the movie passes the Bechdel Test, and the Bechdel Test is the measure of how much a women is represented in a movie.
II. Why did you choose this Project for your Portfolio
I chose this work sample for this portfolio because I personally enjoyed doing this assignment. I found it very fun and easy that we were able to pick out our own movie and then get to write a short essay on it.
III. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
This project represents Information skills. It shows Information skills because while I was watching the movie I had to take down notes and gather information about the movie so I could answer the questions. I also had to make sure that I wrote around 3-4 paragraphs of information about the movie.
IV. How it shows my Current Growth
This sample shows my current growth because I'm learning how to multi-task by taking down information on a movie or book while I am currently watching that movie.
V. Area of Opportunity for New Growth
Next time I would want to write more information down and be more detailed. I could have been more detailed but I want to be able to type faster while I am taking in the information so in the future I can be a fast notetaker.
