Name of Assignment: Decades Slideshow Subject: Humanities Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Goring
Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment I had to study various topics from fashion to wars that relate to the decade assigned to me by Mr. Goring, I was given the forties. Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I felt this assignment best addresses financial economic and business literacy because I learned about America’s economy in the forties.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of the extra credit I got for this assignment. I got six points extra credit which really helped my grade since it was the last week of quarter 3.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I improved my financial, economic, and business literacy skills by learning about the past and making connections to the present and I learned how the economy of the forties worked.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult part about completing this task was pulling all of the slides together into one big slideshow because some were different themes or different sized text so it took a while to transfer.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? I would improve the work by getting all of the slides organized as I went through them so it wasn’t so difficult and messy at the end.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this to my future learning when I need to study anything having to do with the past (world history, American history, etc.) I will have background knowledge.
