Reflect on your learning and your rationale for why this artifact shows improvement and/or experience in each of the 21st Century Skills you chose. This should be at least one paragraph that gives specific details. 1. B. I used Critical Thinking because I needed to process, analyze, select, use, and evaluate many different approaches to find and learn different things about J.F.K. It was very hard not to find an entire biography that had very little information about his presidency. I went around finding different ways to find information pieces on just his presidency. I had to think over most of those ways to see if they worked. A few didnt work, because some different approaches came up with results that wouldnt help me at all. The ones that I processed more and thought harder on worked and gave me more information than others. 1.C. I used some Critical Thinking here because at some point, it was very hard to find information that would help me. You could say it was a very critical issue. I had to frame these issues to get an innovative response, which was in my case, some helpful information. After using this skill, I had the information I needed to move on in the project. 5. A. I embraced change because there was a bunch of things about Sacagawea. I embraced the change of my knowledge of Sacagawea. For example, I had no idea she had a kid. That recently acquired knowledge changed everything I knew about her. 3. A. I needed to use my knowledge and skill to place and use the information correctly. In the beginning, I didnt know what to do with the information I already knew about Sacagawea and the information I was currently learning. I used skill, imagination, and discipline to combine both pieces of information that I already knew and what was provided by the internet. Whilst I was reading this information I had combined, I could clearly imagine what it was like to be Sacagawea.
