Name of Assignment: Global Cultures Country Presentation Subject: Global Cultures Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Adam
Description of Work/Assignment: Students were supposed to choose a country, and make a Slideshow presentation that showcases in-depth information about that country... I chose North Korea
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? Global Awareness, because this assignment exposed myself to an entirely new culture, and explore different/unique aspects of it.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of the fact that I chose NORTH Korea, a country that is named "Hermit Kingdom" solely because of the way the country hides all aspects of its culture, and I still found enough information to present an interesting slideshow. Mr. Adam even said I would need to research a lot more than anyone else because of how scarce information is on North Korea.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? This project allowed me to look at cultures differently because I learned how each culture has beautiful and ugly aspects that all add up to a single culture.
What was most difficult about completing this task? The most difficult part about this project was the researching phase. It took me several hours to find consistent facts about North Korean Culture.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently? If I could restart, I would want to showcase more information on the history of North Korea, rather than the culture, since I personally think it is more interesting.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? It's been a while since I have had a history class, but this project definitely relates to that class since we have research certain countries before.
