Reflection
Current events was an assignment that we had every few classes in Humanities in the beginning of the year. Current events was designed for us to learn more about what is happening in the busy world around us. To complete each current event we gathered into groups of four, and were given a constraint to chose our current event around. The options were city wide, state wide, national, and international. The one that my group researched varied each class. The next step in the assignment was to find a respected/trusted news source with an appropriate current event to share with the class. Then we filled out a sheet of paper with the group, that asked questions like: What happened? When? What impact did this have on the world? What is your input on this event? Then, after filling out the questions, our group chose one person to present to the class.
I feel that the current event project adressed the global awareness 21st century skill. I believe this because each current event was relevant to our times, and active in the community we were given. This project taught us a great deal about the world, and the significant things going on, which initialized my global awareness skills this year.
From this assignment I am most proud of my take away and learning experience that I ended up with, because knowing whats going on in the world is very enlightening, so I feel proud of the fact that every current even I completed, I left with a better understanding of the world.
I feel that I developed my global awareness skills more every time I completed a current event, because each time I learned more about the world, and what was going on. Global awareness is a skills where students learn to understand the actions and motivation of other parts of the world, so I feel that I did learn about the workings and motivations of the story at hand.
The most difficult thing about completing this task was coming up with my comments on the story, because sometimes I did not have very many deep comments while other times I felt like I could talk about the subject for hours, so sometimes it is difficult to find a balance.
I could improve each current event by going into more details on each question, and it would probably be beneficial for me to make sure I have the correct grammar and spelling before I present to the class and turn it in.
This project relates to what I have learned in the past, because learning about current events has always been an interesting thing for me, so when we were given this assignment, I was eager. I have also done this in a few other classes in freshman year, so I entered this assignment with an assortment of global awareness skills already.
This project relates to what I will learn in the future, because this project has helped my understading of the world, which will be valuable knowledge as I go into it. I will also have developed my 21st century skills for further current events.
