Reflection

This is my best evidence because when writing this paper, I had to write a "current event" for Mr. Comando's class about a global occurrence or even something that occurred in the United States and I happened to come across an article and video that was about something called "FGM." I was automatically interest and as I continued reading and watching it turned out that FGM stood for female genital mutation and I knew I had to write my paper on it. I put all my attention into this paper and I felt that my ideas on it were really good. I also felt that my organization with each source since each of them wasn't just a article and I feel as if my end product was extremely good.

This work demonstrates my strengths in this competency because I had multiple sources to take information from, I had an article and watch a fifty minute video and read a mini article on what I would be reading and watching. I also had to organize my information in multiple ways either taking notes from the video or summarizing information from the article. My summary of my topic was almost my entire page because I had so much to explain and talk about, then my analysis was extremely thought out, and very deep.

My next steps for developing this competency in the future are taking notes for any paper or project research related because it makes you feel more organized and it helps you gather important information the first time around when reading.
