I. Describe the Assignment and Goals
For work sample 7 I chose the Honey Creeper project for Biology. For this project we had to choose a type of Honey Creeper that lives in Hawaii. We had to describe the birds diet, habitat, and family. We did an essay on it then we had to get pictures and family trees for the bird and create a newsletter on a website named Canva.
II. Why did you choose this Project for your Portfolio
I chose this work sample for this portfolio because this project was very important because it was our final for biology. It was about the adaptive radiation of honey creepers from Hawaii. I also think that adaptive radiation is a important concept to know about.
III. How it Represents a 21st Century Skill
This project used Information skills because I had to collect all of the information on the honey creeper. Once I collected all of the information that I needed I put it all together to create the essay.
IV. How it shows my Current Growth
This sample demonstrates my current growth because now I know about adaptive radiation and a honeycreeper that is native to Hawaii which I did not know much about before.
V. Area of Opportunity for New Growth
An area for growth would be learning more about adaptive radiation and on writing a better structured essay.
