I. Describe the Assignment and Why I Chose It
The Frankenstein Empire Project was a mix of English and History. We had to get in groups of 4 and each group member would read one of the four different articles. This would mean just one of your group members would be an expert on just one of the four empires and the other group members would be the expert of theirs. After all the research was done we shared all the information with each other to put it in a graphic organizer so we could find the pros and cons of each empire. Then coming to the end we had to put pieces of each empire together to make the ultimate empire. Once all that was finished we had to make a presentation on our empire and present it to our classmates.
II. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
I think for my group Communication Skills would be a good one due to the fact that I missed class one of the main work days since I was out sick. I had to try my best to do what I knew we were working on from talking before and finish my part of the project. Then we also had to present the whole project to our classmates.
III. How it shows my Current Growth
This sample demonstrates my current growth because It shows the growth of my 21st Century Skills mainly my Communication. Every time I do one of these projects and something goes wrong it's always a challenge and I feel that's how you grow the most or learn the most out of something and next time you can handle the situation better.
IV. Area of Opportunity for New Growth
I am most proud of how the slideshow came out because it looks really nice and clean. It was difficult being out of class and still getting everything done on track with the rest of my group. If I did this again I would make all of the information on the slideshow the same amount of information because as of right now some slides have a lot of information and others very little.
