Social Awareness & Responsibility in CLE 10

The artifact that I chose for this assignment is the Class Party Planning Assignment. In this assignment, the task was to plan a year end party for the class using a pre-determined budget. A venue, an activity and refreshments had to be factored into the cost.  

This assignment had elements of Social Awareness and Responsibility because I was planning a party for my classmates, which meant that I had to know activities or foods that my classmates or people my age would like, as well as be sensitive to any restrictions my classmates may have. For example, when finding a food package for the party, I made sure to choose an option that included vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options so that everyone would be able to enjoy a nice lunch. 

A challenge that I encountered while completing this assignment was finding an activity that would be enjoyed by everyone in my class. It couldn’t be an activity that was better suited to one group of people over another, and it had to be fun for everyone! It also couldn’t have too high of a cost, to accommodate the budget. I eventually chose to host the party at an arcade, as there is always a game for everybody, and there are plenty of engaging activities to keep everyone’s interest. 

This skill is important for everyday life because it’s likely that everyone will have to plan some sort of event or get-together at some point in life. It’s also important to be able to think of the needs of others when planning any event with other people, because everyone wants all of their guests to enjoy themselves without feeling left out.
