This project was to expand our historic knowledge about different decades in America. We had to create a slideshow that answered each of his questions about culture, fashion, food, and more. Then we had to do a 25 min presentation on our decade. I chose the 1810's.
Why I'm most proud of this project/21st Century Skills
I was incredibly proud of this project because due to the decade I chose it was hard to find information, but I pushed through and learned so much. I truly learned so much about the constitution and the foundation of America. The 21st century skill that I used was civic literacy because I got to really understand how our country was formed and how that foundation affects our day to day lives.
How I could improve/what was difficult
I could have improved on my time management skills because each topic we had to research we had a couple of days to finish, and I wish that I gave myself more time to enjoy the process. This project was one of my harder projects because America in the 1810's was barely established so there was a lack of information. Also, when we presented I had to truly comprehend and memorize the information to then teach my class.
How does this relate to the past/how can I apply it to the future
This relates to the past through learning about it I can apply better mindsets, and different ways to approach opposing circumstances. Learning about the history of our country made me more grateful for how I live nowadays. As well as, creating better habits for how I present and manage my time.
