Protest Project

Socials Reflection

What skills of yours does this showcase? This project showed my creativity and my organization
What Core Competency does this fill? “I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals.”
Why did you choose this? I chose this because I feel like it is a good example of my personality and me as a person.
What did you learn during this project? I learned how to express my thoughts and explain what I think is important.

Core Competency Reflection

I can work to inform myself about issues surrounding me. I did research and was able to understand people’s opinions on this situation.
I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others. For this project, I chose to show how later starts and fewer school days impact the health of teenagers, I showed that with more sleep and less stress, students do better in class.
I can ask open-ended questions to gather information. I asked people how they would approach this issue and used that information to make an educated decision.
I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I had people explain their thoughts on the 4 days school week and took it into consideration while doing this project

A goal I have for myself is working on being more self-sufficient and independent. “I can apply constructive strategies to navigate misunderstandings and conflicts.” I want to work towards this core competency because I’ve noticed I don’t handle situations like that in the best ways.

Media Fluency Reflection

  • How was the ease of access in building the town, and what software did you use specifically?

I used roll for fantasy, it was very easy to use. I did have a little bit of trouble with the overlapping of the bricks, but it worked out in the end

  • Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment? 

Yes, I was I planned everything out first then I added it in I made sure that everything had a place                                                                                     

  • What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” town?

Ms. Mattson showed us pictures of what these towns usually looked like so I went back and looked at how they were laid out and built

  • Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Explain.

There probably is, it was a little tricky when I was trying to place/delete blocks and line everything up especially with rotating the blocks as it would not load properly on my laptop.
