I am different now because I have learned a lot more then I started school knowing, and have acquired many new skills. Many of these skills come from the projects we have done and project process. Some examples of this are during the Time Travelers project I have learned how to write a bibliography and how to cite in MLA format, which are two skills that I will have to use for the rest of my life. Another example is I have learned everyday things like how to put pipes together and simple construction through building a water filter. I have also learned to work with different types of people, and how to budget my time, thanks to task lists and group work. Working with different types of people is something incorporated in the HTH learning style, and it has opened my eyes with how to deal with certain situations that come with different people.
2. What skills do you think are the most important for succeeding in Humanities? Why? I think time management is an important skill for getting work done and succeeding in humanities. Time management is very important because if you include time for studying and projects then you will not be rushed and you will learn everything without taking shortcuts which could cause information to be lost or forgotten. Another important skill is trying to incorporate what we learn into your everyday life. An example of this is trying to incorporate different literary devices into your everyday writing so you become familiar with them and are comfortable using them in class, when you are required too.
3. One thing I would like to improve on this semester is....I am going to do this by.... Finishing DP work on time, and starting it early at the beginning of the project so I already have the basics on the page ready to go. I am going to do this by making a basic page and linking it, then looking through what I already know about the project, so I can have the basic steps already up on my DP. This is will really affect my grade in a positive way because so much of our grade is affected by our DP and DP reflections.
I am really curious about mysteries in history. Like how certain people died or were mysteriously murdered, or how archaeologists have never been able to explain how certain cities or civilizations have just disappeared. This is really interesting to me because there are so many different theories and research/project possibilities.
