Name of Assignment: Junior Project
Subject: Junior Seminar
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Lindsey
Description of Work/Assignment:
For this assignment I had to come up with one way I could help my community so I chose to make an environmentally frienly shoe that is sustainable, biodegrades, and is ethically sourced while being a tough material and appealing.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
I feel this assignment moct focused on my Self-Directional Skills because I had to make a timeline and constantly check to make sure I was still aligned with my timeline since the teachers could only guide us.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of my staying current with my timeline and getting my project done on schedule. Focusing my attention is sometimes very difficult for me so it allowed me to grow and practice staying on task over an extended period of time.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I developed this skill by staying on task over the course of multiple months and when I did get off task, doing my best to catch up without getting sloppy.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
I'd say the most difficult part for me was not waiting until the last minute to get things done.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
I would set rewards for completing milestones on time so that I would never have to rush at the last minute.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
I have done many big projects and assignments preparing me for this project, so I felt ready when it was presented.
