Work Sample 3: Bill
Describe the assignment and goals for the work sample you selected
The bill project. We needed to confront an issue about the United States and write a bill to solve it. We are tasked with writing a bill with a template and making it so it will be passed by Mr. Adam, we also need to back several other bills. With support from your peers, your bill may be made to pass into a law.
Why you chose to select this work sample to share on your portfolio?
I chose this work sample because I worked very hard on it. This project was challenging and it took an extremely long time to complete. I also think that this is a real issue that someone in congress should make a move to push for this future.
How it represents a 21st Century skill?
This project used Economic and Business Literacy. This project used economic and business literacy because I chose to make a bill about how the United States switching to the metric system of measurement would benefit the economy with saved time. As they say, time is money.
How the sample demonstrates your current growth?
This sample demonstrates my current growth because now I am able to grasp the economical impacts of decisions made by our predecessors. When I was in middle school I could not do this as well.
Area of opportunity for new growth?
Next time, I should likely do more work on calculating expenses. Doing that task was very difficult from how little research was done. I should have thought about ways to rebut to the opposers of my bill. Although I wrote it, I did not know how to respond to some of the questions of my peers. They kind of used my bill as the one to rebut to, so, I got a lot of questions.
