Here, you can add a couple of sentences about what the competency means to you! Explain what "Explore Multiple Perspectives" means to you. Don't worry about this too much as you can edit it whenever. You'll need to do this for each competency page.
Here you will use text and images to analyze how an activity(project, conference, discussion, presentations, speaker, trip, etc) helped you to further yourself as a global citizen because you learned to explore multiple perspectives...
Below are a few examples of how to write a portfolio entries.
Feel free to take inspiration from these and any of the other portfolios that are visible online. However, do not completely copy the hard work of someone else.
Below is a guide to writing a reflection. While this obviously isn't the only way to write one, it's a great place to get started, especially for reflections for speakers/TED Talks/videos.
Format For A Reflection
Length: Paragraph (6-8 sentences)
Competencies: Any (Look at where it fits best/where you need it)
Ask Yourself:
What competency would you place this in?
Does your reflection tie to that competency?
Does it meet the length requirement in the rubric?
Did you cite the name of the speaker and the title of the TEDTalk?
Did you talk about your personal reflection on the topic?
Structure of a Reflection
Sentence 1: I had the opportunity to/I was able to see… [Name of Speaker & Name of Talk]
Sentence 2: Sentence about the speaker’s background in the field
Sentences 3-5: Summary of the talk RELATING to the planned competency
(e.g.: don’t forget to summarize the issue if you’re planning on talking about identifying issues)
Sentences 6-7: Tie-in to competency – how does it relate to the competency?
Sentence 8: General conclusion and relate to the broader world OR personal thoughts on talk
NOTE: Be sure to separate your entires by year (e.g. freshman year, sophomore year, etc.) either by using different pages or by using headings like this one here!

THE VISIT ASSIGNMENT
Modern Dramatic Literature Project - 2 points
In my Modern Dramatic Literature class, we read The Visit, a play by Swiss play write Friedrich Dürrenmatt. While this play seems pretty basic on the surface, after reading and analyzing it, readers find the message that wealth has enough power to corrupt people. In short, Claire Zachanassian offers the impoverished town of Guellen a million dollars if they kill Alfred Ill. Of course, they follow through with this for the money. Learning about Dürrenmatt has helped me to explore multiple perspectives as he introduced epic theater to the world and often connected his works to the effects of the second world war. In this assignment, we were required to simplify the play to 10 quotes by 1 character, 10 different characters, or stage directions. I chose to simplify it to stage directions as the scenery is very important in this play, and at most times, actions speak louder than words. Finally, there is a paragraph which analyzes one of the quotes in depth at the bottom.

Analysis of the Nanjing Massacre
Analysis of the Nanjing Massacre
This project was for my Global Studies: Genocide class. Each student wrote a paper on whether the Nanjing, China Massacre in 1937 qualified as a genocide or not. In class, we had a discussion (quasi-debate) to share our findings and interpretations. Therefore, this project gave me the opportunity to explore multiple perspectives during said class discussion. It was fascinating to see how, using the same information, we all came to slightly different conclusions. Many students felt that the Nanjing Massacre was more aligned with the definition of war crimes as it would not have taken place in a time of peace. Others argued that since the Massacre targeted Chinese citizens only, it was a genocidal attempt to destroy them. Though we did not come to an agreement as a class, it was valuable to hear everyone's perspectives on the issue and think about the question from different angles. As usual with class discussions, I had the opportunity to practice GSD skills such as humility, open-mindedness, and empathy, and I really enjoyed this project and following discussion.
