Name of Assignment: ACT Prep
Subject: Junior Seminar
Facilitator/Teacher: Coach Cassie
Description of Work/Assignment: In this assignment we were tasking with preparing for the ACT. We would complete a practice test in each section of the test (English, reading, science, and mathematics). There were also videos that we were supposed to watch to help us better understand the ACt
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? This assignment addresses thinking and problem solving skills. In this assignment I was doing lots of complex math equations. I would also be doing literary analysis and grammar corrections.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I am most proud of how well I did on the practice tests. Every answer on the practice test I was able to understand and answer correctly.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? I worked hard in this assignment and was able to improve my thinking and problem solving skills. This assignment was very difficult and not easy to complete. I had to think a lot and make tons of decisions during the project.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part of this task was answering the questions. This task was super time consuming because of all the challenging questions. It was also very hard to get through each portion of the practice test because it was so long and boring. How could you improve this work? If I could start over, I would start to prepare for the practice tests earlier, some time around December or January so I could be better prepared for this assignment and the real test. |

This project did share some similar things to the preparations that we had to do when we were preparing for the SAT. The ACT and SAT are very similar exams, with the major difference being the science portion, but other than that we followed the same procedure for the SAT.
How can you apply this to future learning? I can apply this to future learning because I will try to retake the ACT again. The knowledge that I gained from this assignment did help me do better on the ACT than I would have without it, and I will practice it more.
