Subject: Humanities
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Terry
Description of Work/Assignment: Learn about the Second World War
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? (If you need to reference the 21st Century Skills, they are attached to this assignment on Google Classroom—try to choose four that you didn’t use in your first conference)
I would say that this addresses Global Awareness skills. During this unit, we needed to learn about important world events, and we also learned about how they shaped the world we live in today.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am proud of how much I already knew about this subject, and how that led to me being able to spend the time gaining even more knowledge.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I was able to develop my informational skills, because I needed to research and find information about certain events.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could improve this, I would spend more time learning more about the political side of things.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to what I’ve learned about the Second World War in Social Studies, as well as what I’ve read on my own.
How can you apply this to future learning?
Because of its immense significance, knowing about the Second World War gives me a better understanding of Modern History. This could apply whenever I take another History or Social Studies class.
