Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
The Civic Literacy & Engagement 21st Century Skill was addressed. I learned a lot about what the government is doing with the health of the public. Also learned a lot about other places around the world and their communities, how they are being affected by the virus and other things.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of just learning something new every time I read an current event article.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
This 21st century skill was developed by learning more about how the world is going currently. I am staying connected with news of what is currently happening.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
There is really nothing hard about this assignment; like most things it just takes time to do.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
To improve this work I would revise every current event article and make sure it is the best summary it can be.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This relates to a lot of what I have learned in the past. Every current event is different, which means every time I write a summary of a current event I practically learn something new. But that is just what relates to things I have learned in the past is learning about the world and it’s current events.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to future learning by knowing how to write a summary about an article and finding reliable information,
