For our junior seminar class we were assigned a certain financial subject and educated our class on our findings. My and my partner's topic was Debit Vs Credit cards. The 21st century skill that addresses this project is Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy 21st century skill. This project really reflected this 21st century skill because it showed our understanding of Economics and Finance. While learning the topic we also had to know enough of the information to teach it to our peers. I'm most proud of the presentation aspect of this assignment. Me and my partner had to research our topic and effectively display our information in an easy matter to understand for our peers.
I improved on my understanding of the 21st century skill that was used for this assignment by learning lots of new information that I'm going to need in my life and also growing my eagerness to learn more about Finance and Economics. The most difficult part of this assignment was finding the most important information possible to put into our slide. We found so much information and we really had to dig in deep to find the information that wasn't just being put out there by the card companies for advertisement. I could improve on this work by making my slides colorful and include images to catch the audience's attention. If I had to start over I would format the slide differently and include different aspects and which companies have greatly different aspects of their cards. I could apply this task to future learning by using my knowledge of Credit Vs Debit and expanding on that topic and digging deeper into the banking world |
