I chose this work sample because overall I thought it was a really cool concept and idea. I was able to learn a lot from not only this assignment but also other students presentations discussing other financial literacy ideas. The idea of the assignment was to choose a topic which you and another student will make 1-2 slides with the idea to educate the students of our class on money, credit, and other finance stuff.
21st Century Skill
I believe this assignment is the perfect assignment for the 21st century skill Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy. Through this assignment I was able to learn about the economic forces that drive our economy, and demonstrate that knowledge via slideshow. On top of that we learned from other students about how to make the appropriate economic choices suited for ourselves. We were also able to openly discuss and ask about each topic to gain a deeper understanding.
Area of Improvement
Similar to my Socratic seminar, I know I could've chosen a topic that would've challenged me a bit more and helped me grow. I already had a general idea of the pros and cons of a credit card, so if I picked something a bit more difficult I probably could've thoroughly learned more about a subject I hadn't known about.
