Name of Assignment: Timed Writing: The Modern Revolution
Subject: Humanities
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Terry
One of the most challenges assignments I’ve worked on this quarter was in Ms. Terry’s Humanities class. The day before the assignment, we gathered information in a graphic organizer but did not yet know the prompt. The next day, we had the whole class period to write an essay about the modern revolution’s impact on our world and whether it was predominantly negative or positive.
I often struggle with timed writing because I write best when able to take breaks and discuss my thoughts with others. I am proud that I managed to write a complete essay, and when I was done, I didn’t feel the need to go back and change things. Next time I plan to state a clear claim at the beginning of my essay rather than the end.
Given that the essay required us to reference information, I think that the 21st century skill I used the most was my Information Skills. This assignment allowed me to challenge myself to use my Information Skills under time pressure. I look forward to using them more in this class and others.
