During this unit in biology we were covering genetics. For this assignment we were to research something about genetics, there were some options, but I chose to pick something myself. I chose to research Huntington's disease, we had to write it in a certain format which was new to me.
I chose this assignment to showcase because after doing all the research I felt like it was super interesting. I went so in depth so it was really amazing to feel like I mastered this topic and I wanted to share.
This project demonstrates the self-directional and informational 21st century skills. Since I chose a project that was unique to me, I had to self-direct my research of Huntington's and what exactly to cover in this research paper. The research and providing the information in the essay as well was part of the informational 21st century skill.
I had never researched so specifically into a disease before, I loved expanding my horizons. The toll that this neurodegenerative disease is destructive but quite fascinating. I had also never written a research paper and it was a lot to format.
I feel confident in my work done in this exact project but in the future I would love to learn about even more diseases in such detail.
