21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
During this project, I was creative by exploring my options and I tried different styles but decided on Come As You Are by Nirvana. One problem I had was my nails were too long and in the way of the strings but now I know I can’t play with long nails this was my critical thinking. I had to innovate and change it up then I could play again.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
During this project, I communicated with my friend/classmate Austin. He has helped me and given me feedback on my progress.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
Youtube:
How To Play Come As You Are by Nirvana quick riff
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Possibly becoming a guitarist in a band.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
During this project this month I felt good. It felt more relaxed which I always appreciate I worked hard and I think. I did well this month.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned new skills on a guitar that I couldn’t do before. The problems I had were not knowing how to play the song and finger placement. I solved this problem by watching tutorials on YouTube. After this, it all came together nicely.
Grammar and Spelling
I used Grammarly to help me.
