Name of Assignment: CNN 10 Subject: Humanities Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Goring
Description of Work/Assignment: Every class Mr. Goring would have us watch a CNN 10 and answer who, what, when, where, and why, and give a question or comment about a news story.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? This project seems to best address Civic Literacy And Engagement. I think so because it keeps us engaged in the national and international news.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I'm most proud of my comments and questions because I try to take time to come up with a thorough comment that shows how closely I paid attention.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I developed this 21st century skill because I was staying civically engaged by watching the news so closely.
What was most difficult about completing this task? I'd say the most difficult part about completing this task was coming up with answers to the 5 W's. Sometimes I'd have to watch the video multiple times before finding the answers.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? I could improve this work by choosing better stories. The stories I chose were usually the boring ones because they had the easiest answers but, it made it difficult to focus on the video.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This relates to my sixth grade social studies because we did a lot of work to learn about the upcoming election when it was Trump vs Hillary.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply any of the knowledge I learn in the videos to future learning, most likely in history class. Or I can use my new found ability to dissect a story to find important information.
