ReplyDeleteA.) #1 - Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Survival Skill (5/5)
B.) "Thinking takes skill. However, you are not born with this skill; it takes much practice to be able to learn and apply good thinking skills." (10/10)
C.) The majority of projects require this skill because of how loose the structure of the directions is. For example, for the IT Team Presentations, there were many things that were not clearly specified by the directions and rather than ask the teacher, we decided to figure out the problems ourselves. Not just for that project, but also for the Spreadsheet. With that, there is no set way to do the layout and you have to figure it out yourself. (25/25)
D.) In english class, we have to write creative short shories. This promotes skill #7, Curiosity & Imagination, because a person needs to use be imaginative to be able to write creative stories. Those english short stories help develope curiosity and imagination by making us think in different ways and come up with ideas of our own design. Writing a story isn't easy if you have to come up with ideas of your own. Most of the time, I see people using other people's ideas as a jumping-point to be able to write their own. This in not correct, the stories need to be written from scratch with your own ideas, otherwise, you don't develope those skills. (20/20)

ReplyDeleteB. “Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.”
-Arnold Edinborough
C. With curiosity, it helped with my topic for my IT project. Without natural curiosity, I never would have the drive to find out the knowledge I need to present tot he class. Despite my topic not being my personal favorite choice, I still had the curiosity to learn more about a topic I was already familiar with.
D. When we did research projects in English classes, it was usually open ended to a topic of our own choice. In this, I naturally picked something I was curious about and wanted to learn more on. I know coming up in my Senior Thesis, I will have the opportunity to look up something that intrigues me and peaks my curiosity so to say. It's these opportunities that create a natural drive to succeed and I believe having a natural curiosity or active imagination plays a big role into success.
