Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? : I feel like this was a project that addresses the communication skills 21st century skill. For this project, I had a partner to work with which was pretty fun. We didn't really have the time to work on this project in school. We had to communicate out of school through Discord to figure out how we were going to do the project.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? : The thing I am most proud of from this assignment is that we were able to finish this project under a day. We took a lot of time to get our songs and made a little playlist so we could listen to each others songs to make sure it fits the theme.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? : I improved on my 21st century skill by being able to communicate to my partner on our own time. I also used my communication skills when I came to the day that we had to present our slides to the class. This time I projected my voice a little more.
What was most difficult about completing this task? : One of the most difficult things was trying to find songs that would match this certain theme but; it was also fun because I love music. Other than that, the rest of the project was a breeze.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different? : I could improve this project by practicing more on what I want to say while presenting. I stuttered a few times because I didn't practice, but the rest went well.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? : This relates to when I didn't practice or go over what I was supposed to say during this one project in 7th grade for social studies. I had a little mind blank or brain fart for a few seconds but; I was able to gather my thoughts and present the rest.
How can you apply this to future learning? : I can apply this to the future by remembering to always have a few practice presentations before the day we present.
