Work Sample #3
Name of Assignment: Trigonometry Comic Strip
Subject: Geometry
Facilitator/Teacher: Ms. Marsh
Description of Work/Assignment:
In this assignment we were asked to write and draw a comic that exhibits three different trigonometry problems.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
I think this assignment addresses the Communication skill. The definition of the Communication skill is communicating to a variety of audiences via various methods, including nonverbal and written.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am most proud of the art and the way I integrated trigonometry. I think it was clever and I really enjoyed how the comic turned out overall.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
This assignment developed this 21st Century Skill by giving me another media to communicate with, especially one I don't have a lot of practice with.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The hardest part was probably the artwork. I put a lot of detail into it and it took longer than it probably needed to given the gravity of the assignment.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
If I were to redo this project, I would start early. I really had to rush some parts as the deadline got closer.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
I've actually done a project similar to this for chemistry where I had to exhibit chemistry concepts through a comic strip.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I know I can apply this to future learning, this project really helped me ingrain the concepts I showed in the comic strip into my mind.
