Name of Assignment: 1.8 B exercise
Subject: Computer Science
Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Murali
Description of Work/Assignment:
The assignment for this class was to use our programming skills to create a mad lib on Scratch.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
I mostly used thinking and problem solving skills for this project, because I programmed two sprites to have a random conversation using trial and error. Informational skills were also practiced, because I got through problems I didn’t understand by doing research on it.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am proud of the project because I never used to like programming that much, but I enjoyed this assignment and learned a lot from it.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?
I think my thinking and problem solving skills developed a lot because there were a lot of different variables that went into it. The project took a lot of thought and testing, both of which improve thinking and problem solving skills.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part about completing this task was coming up with a good plot. It is hard to find a story and decide which words should be replaced, and I had to read a lot of Mad Libs to figure out how to form a good narrative.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?
If I could improve this work I would add some more movement to the sprites, because right now they are just standing still and talking. This takes a lot of time, but I think it would add to it a lot.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This assignment doesn’t really relate to many assignments from my past because although I have used Scratch before, I never really enjoyed or understood it.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this to future learning in a number of ways, because computer programming is important and is only going to become more popular. Being able to code is a huge benefit to a lot of jobs, and learning it is very worthwhile.
