I. Describe the Assignment and Why I Chose It
One task we completed was a simulation in which I worked with a group as if we were part of ExComm, which stands for the Executive Committee of the National Security Council. We had to make a choice on how to respond to the Cubans either by violence or negotiating. We chose to bomb them and invade them which was not a good option to pick but it was fun.
II. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
This task was a good example of Thinking and Problem Solving because we were given some papers/evidence and had to analyze the data in order to come to a conclusion as a group. We had to come up with pros and cons of each option and analyze data at the same time to think about the options.
III. How it shows my Current Growth and Room for New Growth
This sample demonstrates my current growth because it shows my ability to work in a group and come up with a solution or option that everyone agrees on and to also analyze papers as a group and communicate our findings. For New Growth next time around I would probably try to come up with a more realistic solution because we kind of came up with a explosive option to have fun.
