About The Project
For this project, as a group, we had to come up with an argument to defend why polygamy should be/remain illegal. We had to research the subject as well as come up with a speech to argue against the other group whose opinion differed from ours and present it in front of the class.
Core Competency Reflection
I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. I chose this one because I was able to do my part in the project and not force my responsibilities on my other group members
I can recognize different points of view and disagree respectfully. I chose this one because, in a debate, you need to be able to see both sides to come up with a well thought out argument.
I understand and share information about a topic in a clear, organized way. I chose this one because I was able to research information and put it together in an organized way.
I can work well with others to achieve a goal. I chose this one because I had to work in a group and we were able to work together to come out with a final product.
One of my goals is to say that I can encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives. I chose this one because there were some people in my group that were putting minimal effort into the project. In the future, I would encourage them to participate more and share their ideas.
Curricular Competency Reflection
reflect on how you were able to: Make reasoned ethical judgments about controversial decisions, legislation, or policy
I was able to make reasoned ethical judgements about controversial decisions by researching both sides to come up with a valid argument for our group. At first, I didn’t quite agree with our side until I started doing research as I wasn’t educated about the subject. It made it easier being on the side I believed in when coming up with an argument, but I was also able to understand the opinion and facts from the opposing group.
