This is my Mesopotamia Timeline project

Cause and Consequence

When working on this project, I used the Cause and Consequence curricular competency. During this project, I identified two significant developments in Mesopotamia that I found most meaningful and worked to determine how they came to be using a Cause and Consequence chart. My strengths during this project were working to determine the underlying, immediate, and long-term causes and consequences that caused/ impacted the developments. I believe an area for future growth would be gathering more evidence and delving deeper into the details of the developments. Overall, though, the project turned out well.

Thinking CC

Throughout this project, I applied the thinking core competency skills to help me complete my project. My strengths included comparing information from online and textbook resources to help me better analyze the events/developments I was discussing. I also explored evidence to evaluate which events held the most significance in Mesopotamia. To enhance my understanding, I actively asked questions about the topics we covered and referred to previous assignments for comparisons. Furthermore, I consistently asked for constructive criticism from my peers and incorporated their feedback to better my project by adding more details. In the future, I plan to improve my projects by incorporating more of my thoughts and perspectives on why events unfolded and how they influenced other events.

Critical and Reflective Thinking

I was able to research and use my prior knowledge about the issue of single-use plastics to create this project. When creating this project, I spent a lot of time researching and analyzing information to help me answer my questions. That helped me compile relevant information and draw reasoned conclusions. During this project, I also got feedback from my classmates to help me improve and expand my information. That helped me develop my project and make it more interesting.
While working on this project, I also looked at many different perspectives of people, countries, and businesses to help me answer my questions. That helped me look at both sides of the issue and figure out why people had the viewpoints they had.

Thinking

For my God project, I used my previous knowledge of how to do significant analysis to create my project. I used different websites to help me research, put all the information together, put them into my own words, and use evidence to explain the significance of my God. I was able to make my project detailed while still having the information flow nicely and be easy to understand for anyone who has never heard about my God. An area I plan to grow in is elaborating more on my topic and creating a project that doesn’t have lots of information but rather only the substantial parts.

I used both critical and reflective thinking when creating my God project. In order to collect reliable information I was able to look into a lot of material and compared it to information on other websites so that I could have back up evidence that the information I was putting down was correct. I was also able to ask for help when I was confused or when I just needed some help. Additionally, I put all of my information into a project that complied with all the requirements. Overall, creating this project required both critical and reflective thinking abilities .
