About
A project I did in Humanities was the ELA essay on the The Hate U Give. For the essay, we got to pick two topics to write about after reading the book. The two that I picked was summarizing the book and putting myself into the story and making myself a character. The character I created was named Alev Polaris, who went to the main character's school.
Why I Choose This and 21st Century Skill
I choose to show this project that I did because I really enjoyed writing it. It was entertaining for me to write the story as well as go over the book again fully. It was an interesting idea as well to try to think of a way to add yourself to the story.
This project uses 21st-century skills such as Informational skills, through doing research, and Self Directional skills, through working on my own time and setting a schedule.

Current Growth
It was challenging for me to think of a character as well as ways to implement them into the story. It took a while for me to think about how to go about it, and I ended up writing a lot in the end. This shows my interests off though the story part. I love writing stories and one of the things I am thinking about doing as a small hobby when I am an adult is writing a book.
New Ways To Grow
Some things that I could improve upon are evenly splitting up the two topics that I picked. The summary ended up taking a lot more than I thought it would, so I wrote less for the enter yourself in the story part so it wasn't too long. I would have liked to reread it while I was a bit more awake as well, as some of the sentences were awkwardly phrased and bothered me a bit looking back on them.
