I. Describe the Assignment and Why I Chose It
As a group of Three we had to read the Third Chapter of the book Homegoing by Yaa Gyas. The book is a historical fiction novel and each chapter follows different descendant's of an Asante woman named Maame and the book is based in Ghana. The third chapter was about a boy named Quey and that's what we read as a group of three and we had to make a one pager revolving around the chapter and the important parts and what stood out to us. I chose this because I have actually started to find this book quite interesting and just to read about the experiences they had to go through.
II. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
This represents Global Awareness because I am learning about other cultures and the history of those cultures and just the world as a whole. I am becoming more aware and educated on these topics by reading books.
III. How it shows my Current Growth
This sample demonstrates my current growth mainly because I never really have enjoyed reading books before. Now with time I feel as if reading and learning about things from books and just being able to listen to or learn about different experiences from people all around is really interesting and important. That doesn't only for books but just in general. But reading has started to become interesting for me and more enjoyable.
IV. Area of Opportunity for New Growth
For the future I want to continue reading more books and figure out what types of books I'm interested in. I want to keep learning more things and spend more time reading because I am starting to realize that there are really good books out there that are interesting you just need to take the time to read them and find out what you like and enjoy.
