The skills and content learned in World History this year were very valuable and interesting. From learning how to take effective notes in Flipped Lectures, to writing detailed paragraphs using the PEEL method, I will definitely use these skills in future situations. Another effective skill I learned was to think deeper when having discussions about unfamiliar topics in Socratic Sessions. This class definitely helped me to try things that are higher in difficulty, not be afraid of speaking up, and hone in on the skills I already have, to become the best I can be.
Two new skills I picked up while in this class, that I might use in future situations are organization, and productivity. As a result of having many assignments assigned on Canvas at once, it forces me to keep up with my schoolwork and stay on top of my academics. Staying organized allows me to clearly see what assignments I have, when they are due, and therefore how I set my priorities towards completing them. What I enjoyed the most about Photoshop and Illustrator is the opportunity for creative freedom. By using digital art-esque applications, I am able to express my feelings about any topic imaginable. I would use these applications and skills for school projects in the future. Some interesting topics that weʻve learned so far this year consist of : Gandhi and The Great Depression. Gandhi was interesting for me because I got to see what his leadership style is like: one that is fair yet loving. The movie really encaptured who Gandhi is as a person, as well as how he used his style of leadership to promote positive change within his community. The Great Depression was interesting for me because it allowed me to gain a bigger appreciation for everything I do have. For example, a loving family, shelter, clothes, food, and access to clean fresh water. I am also aware that other countries across the globe are much less fortunate than I am. This era was a very drab time for everyone involved, and having limited access to resources definitely didnʻt help. The Kahiau project connects skills with history and current day issues because it allows us to view them from a Hawaiian and global perspective. For example, my two leaders I compared were Mao Zedong and Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. Mao Zedong, being a chairman for the Peopleʻs Republic of China, used his love of literary arts and poetry to inspire those around him in an Asian-American lens. Whereas Israel Kamakawiwoʻole used his love of performing arts and music to reach global audiences. Even if Mao and Israel both had different ways of approaching leadership in their communities, they both started their careers by showcasing the talents they already possess.
