Description of Work/Assignment: In my creative writing class we have focused heavily on poems, however, more recently we have worked more so on storytelling and writing.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?: Self Directional Skills best fits with this assignment because for my story for my college class I had to set my own goals and dates to get what I needed to do done so that I would be able to create a good story, following the parameters, and turn in something I was proud of. I also had to monitor my own learning with this story, as I had to make sure I understood the assignment, and look back at model examples that were provided.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?: From this assignment I am most proud of figuring out a storyline. Creating a story and following through are often challenging for me when writing a story.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?: I developed, and or improved on this 21st century skill with this assignment by having to be completely independent and set my own dates, and goals, to be able to get this level of a school assignment done on time and it being a good quality assignment.
What was most difficult about completing this task?: To complete this task it was to be about 2-2 1/2 pages long, and creating a storyline is already a challenge for me, so to keep the story moving for that long was a difficulty for me.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?: I could improve this work by taking more time to plan out the story and what it was going to be about. If I could restart this assignment, I would plan it out better and write down a series of events and topics I could've used in the story.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?: This assignment relates to what I have learned in the past about writing stories and making outlines before drilling away at an idea and just going with it.
