In class we did the privilege walk. For the essay we wrote about how the activity made us feel, did it change your view of privilege, and have you ever felt lack or abundance of privilege. This essay is mainly your opinion, so there is no right or wrong answer.
I chose this essay as my work sample because for this essay I did research and I've learned about how other people around the world live. This essay is a great way to let the youth know an issue in today's world.
The 21st century skills in the essay is global awareness and informational skills. The global awareness skill is used when we talked and researched about other people's privilege. The informational skill is used when we researched on the web about privilege.
This assignment really brought a different perspective of what privilege is to me. I really enjoyed sharing my thoughts and opinions about the meaning of privilege. At the start of the assignment I didn't have inspiration on how I should begin, but I kept doing research and realized that this is a movement I need to take on. I wanted to make sure everyone understood what I was trying to say through the essay.
Next time for any essay I want to be prepared for what I'm writing about. For the privilege essay I would improve by adding more detail in the work. My personal aim was to project my opinion clearly and be able to hear my voice.
