In the Year 8 English Curriculum I used various collaboration and learner agency skills to complete different projects. This page discusses how I used these skills from the learner agency and Collaboration through the Year 8 English Course.
Creation of Current Affairs Segment
At the beginning of the Year, we made a current affair segment video about a script that we had made for an assessment earlier on in the year. In this project I used a variety of collaboration skills to create this task. These skills included ‘Contributes to group plan’ and ‘Undertake a Role’. I used the ‘Contributes to group plan’ by introducing new and different ideas which we could potentially use in our project. I also used the skill ‘Undertake a Role’ by taking a role in the production as a canteen cashier. So, In this product I used the skills ‘Contributes to Group Plan’ and ‘Undertake a Role’ in this project.
Creation of Short Story
In this task you had to create a short story based off of a prompt given to you. Some skills that I used in this assessment from the learner agency to guide my project included ‘Seeking Assistance’ and ‘Using feedback’. I used these skills by asking my parents for feedback and assistance in my short story which is part of the reason why I think I did well in this assessment. So, In this task I used the skills using feedback and seeking assistance to help create my overall product.
Conclusion
So, in these projects from the Year 8 English Curriculum I used a variety of skills from the learner agency and collaboration. These skills really helped me to produce these assignments and I think that I should use more of them in the future to aid me in future assignments and other projects.
