Name of Assignment: Final Paper
Subject: Marine Biology
Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Adam
For our marine biology final, we wrote a paper on ocean acidification. We had been learning about the topic in class but the paper required us to do quite a bit of independent research. We were required to write a two page paper that introduced the concept of ocean acidification, explained the importance of phytoplankton, and proposed a possible local solution to the problem.
I’m really proud of this paper. I’ve written scientific papers before but this was my best one yet. I did extensive research and read through Hawaii carbon emission reports. I was worried that it would be difficult to find a local solution that would be effective and possible to implement, but I’m really proud of the plan I came up with. I struggled to begin writing the paper. I didn’t write many papers last year and I have to write a lot this year, which is really stressful. I was able to finish my paper before the deadline, but it was close. I wish I was able to start writing sooner.
I expect to write more papers for this class and will apply my writing and research skills to those. One of the 21st Century Skills I used while writing this paper was my Self-Directional Skills. We were given some class time for the paper but were expected to direct ourselves. We did our own research and came up with our own solutions. This project allowed me to continue developing my Self-Directional Skills.
