How I Used Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy:
In this project we had to manage and choose our project. Not only did we have to be responsible but we also had to make it interesting for ourselves. This project in particular showcased the 21st century skill of Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy. This project was good for this skill because I had to make a budget for myself ans stick to it. I had to purchase materials and for this project. Some of these materials are fabric, thread, and buttons. For all of these I had to make a budget so I could mange the project and materials better. |
Strengths and Current Growth:
In this project I had a lot of positive outlook and I feel that I did the project well. In the project I made the budget very clear for myself and I found materials that would best fit my budget for the project. Not only did I learn how to manage my time and materials better I also learned how to make and manage a budget. In this project I learned how to sew better and use my existing skills too. This project was also fun as well as a good learning experience.

Weak Points and Future Growth:
This project was fun and wasn't the most difficult to accomplish. Even though I learned more about the 21st century skill of Financial, Economic, and Business Literacy I also learned how to use the skill better. In this project I used this skill well and kept to my budget the best I could. The only failure or weak point from this project would be the cost of the materials. I underestimated to cost of the fabric that I needed so I made the budget larger then I wanted it to be, and therefore spent more money then I thought I would. With that being said I learned more about this skill and how to use it better in the future.
