- Description of Assignment / Work:
In this assignment we had to write for our long period on a prompt. We had several articles that we were allowed to pull information from, but I chose not to. The prompt was "To what extent do you predict Artificial Intelligence will harm or help humanity? Support your claim with reasoning and evidence." I had already thought about this topic on lot, as I use artificial intelligence a lot in my daily life. So I wrote an opinion based essay. - What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the way that I communicated my ideas. These were more complicated thoughts that I had to express with not that much time. It was all to be done in class so there was not time for proper editing or feedback. I am proud of my immediate writing skills. - What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part of this task was doing everything in the classroom. We weren't able to listen to music so it was hard for me to concentrate. All the clicks of the keyboard made it harder for me to think. - How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I were to start over, I would have written a better conclusion paragraph. It was very bland and I didn't spend much time on it. - How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? How can you apply this to future learning?
This relates to all my papers that I have written in the past, specifically the argumentative papers. The ability to express and convey your ideas is an important skill for life. - Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
For that reason I think this demonstrates self directional skills. We did not have any kind of layout and had to complete the assignment within the class. I had to make my own outline, rough draft, and then edit the draft within the class. We were all on our own and knew that we had to write a great paper. I improved my ability to work through distractions and complete my assignment.
