The bill assignment examples Information Skills and Global Awarness
Last quarter we did the Bill assignment in Mr. Adam’s class. The assignment was to choose a topic you would like to see created for a bill. For the assignment you had to find evidence why your bill should be important, who it would benefit and etc. My bill was on having psychological tests on police officers and candidates. I chose this because everyday people are killed, beated or discriminated against because of the police officers bias. People are being discriminated against for something they cannot change whether that be their race, gender or sexuality. My bill was about something that could help the stop of discrimination police officers project on subjects. I choose this example for my portfolio because it is a national situation that needs to be addressed. I also choose it because I have very strong opinions on this matter. I think it shows a bit about what I believe in as a human being. This project relates to a twenty-first skill by addressing current problems and finding solutions that I think will help with evidence provided. This project also correlates to being a 21st century skill by showing my work effort that I can use technology to find information(Information Skills). This assignment examples my current growth on learning more about politics, and current problems. The bill project also challenged me by finding different articles and creating my own opinion on this national matter. The Bill interests me on what is going on in the world and solutions I can create (Problem Solving Skills). If I was to do this assignment again I would do it in sections instead of procrastinating till the last day. I would find more stories of people who have died and more articles on the physiological bias part of the brain. Other than that I feel I did a swell job. |
