Name of Assignment: Qtr 1 Project Progress Presentation Subject: Junior Seminar Facilitator/Teacher: Coach Cassie / Ms. Cassie
Description of Work/Assignment: For this assignment we had to make a present a google slides presentation to show where we are in our Junior projects. We had to include things like our one-pager, mentors, milestones, timeline, challenges, and next steps. The audience would have a piece of paper to give feedback to the presenter.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I think that is assignment address the Civic literacy and Engagement 21st Century Skill. This skill is demonstrating an understanding of and the ability to analyze and participate in government and in community, both locally and globally, in order to shape the circumstances that impact their daily lives and the lives of others. For my project, I am more on the “in the community” side of this skill. I am trying to make an impact on my life and others at a military program that I am in (Civil Air Patrol). I will be bettering the learning environment of 057 Maui Composite Squadron.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? The thing that I am most proud of from this assignment was the work and creativity I was able to achieve for this presentation. I was able to make the slides look artsy but also able to put a whole lot of information in it. When presenting the slides it was well organized and easy for me to use the bullet points. I was able to summarize what I was going to say, instead of just reading off the screen.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I definitely developed this 21st Century Skill. I have never went out of my way to really impact others and actually organize an event to help them. I had to learn a lot about the program it self to know its rules. There were some things that I didn’t know about the squadron until now. What I am doing will really help our the cadets in our squadron and hoping it’ll inspire other squadrons globally.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The thing that was most difficult about this task would be staying on task and procrastinating. Other than that everything was perfect. I just think that I could’ve finished this work earlier, but I decided to just put it off to the side.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? I could improve this work by maybe adding more pictures. I think that I should take more pictures in real life while I am in the process of getting my project all set up for some documentation. Something that I would do different is talk a little slower during my presentation. It felt like it went by pretty fast when I presented. How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? This relates to whenever I have a presentation that I am nervous for. I tend to talk pretty fast because I just want to get the presentation over with, but it makes it hard on the audience because they wouldn’t understand whatever I am saying. I also fidget a lot when i present which I also did in this presentation.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this to future learning when I do other presentation throughout this school year and the next, or even when I am an adult. I will definitely keep this in mind for the next progress and final presentation.
