Effective Communication
I inserted this as my Effective Communication DRSL because it required me to learn something that I didn't have previous knowledge of before. I not only had to learn this but also share it in front of the whole class. The definition of Effective Communication is defined as verbal speech or other methods of relaying information that get a point across. My definition of Effective Communication is having learned something new and sharing the new knowledge with many other individuals.
Critical Thinking
I inserted this as my Critical Thinking DRSL because it not only made me think critically but It had me use what I already knew then made me think about what I want to know and then combine the two to have a new sense of understanding of this mapping lab. The definition for Critical Thinking is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment. My definition for Critical Thinking is being able to take many different perspectives, readings and etc. but essentially thinking about something long and hard past the first layer and digging deeper.
Integration and Application of Knowledge in Civic, Social and Personal Contexts
This was a current event at the time that hit me really deeply. I go to a mosque with diversity having people with many different backgrounds. Many of my friends were of Syrian decent and their parents had immigrated and they were worried. I wanted to gather information so I could inform them about what was going on. I read up on everything that came from this all week and on Sunday I informed them about everything I read about. I told them to send my best regards to their families and everyone that would be effected by this.
