Name of Assignment: American Hero Project
Subject: Humanities
Facilitator/Teacher: Mr.Goring
Description of Work/Assignment:
We had to make a slide show about an American hero of our choice.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
I feel like information skills were used the most in this assignment, we had to research about our American hero on our own and find credible sources that have the information we need.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the hero I chose for this project. Abraham Lincoln was and is still one of the most appraised men in all of American history.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
For informational skills they mostly stayed the same although I did have a hard time finding credible sources that had the information that I wanted.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part about the American Hero Project was definitely the research portion where I had to find quotes either by him or about him, although I found a couple websites with quotes about him only one of them was credible.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could start over I would put more research into finding a better quote about him. He was a popular man but not many interesting quotes were written about him by important people.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
I am pretty certain that if you were raised in America that you have learned about Abraham Lincoln many times in school or out of school. The only thing new I learned about him was his ethnic background and his quotes.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply the information skills that I used into future projects. This project may have also improved my presenting skills.
