Democracy Country
This is an ongoing project. It started about in the middle of first quarter, and still continues to now. Our assignment for this project was/is to create our own unique country with a group of 1-3 people. My group has three people. For our country we had to create a map (shown below), a flag, and a presentation showing aspects of our country, like population, jobs, government, and more. Right now we’re working on the final presentation of it all.

Which 21st Century Skills do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
So far this project has addressed interpersonal skills, since I’m working in a group.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I’m most proud of our country’s map, because I made I myself. Our original idea was that we take use of Greenland’s land but move it down so it had a more habitable temperature.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skills with this assignment?
I developed upon my interpersonal skills with this project, because I listened and agreed with other group member’s ideas, and let other people do some parts that I would have preferred to do.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part of this assignment it currently creating a website to showcase all of the work we've done for our country this semester.
How could you improve this work?
The quality and other aspects of everything we've done could have been improved if we had had more time to do it.
If you could start over, what would you do different?
IfI could start over, then I might have chosen to do the project alone. However, I'm glad that I do have a group because they've contributed a lot to the project.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply what I learned in this project if I ever had a government position. Both because of my improved interpersonal skills, and because we had to create our own government.
