UNIT #1: SKILLFUL LIVING

PROJECT TYPE: Vlog
PROJECT NAME: Becoming skillful
PROJECT GOAL: To learn a new skill in 30 days and document the process and results in a mini vlog.

Procedure and stages:

Stage 1 – Define the Skill  (Due date: May 5th)

Write a short written proposal.

Must include:

• What skill you will learn.

• Why you chose it.

• What “success” looks like after 1 month.

Stage 2 – Research & Learning Plan (Due date: May 5th)

Write a mini plan:

• 2–3 resources (videos, apps, tutorials)

• A weekly plan (simple: “Week 1: basics… Week 2: practice…”)

Stage 3 – Record your progress (Due date: June 4th)

• Practice your new skill at least twice a week.

• Record mini vlogs during the week showing and talking about your progress. Choose one of these options:

• 30 seconds mini vlogs. 2 times per week.

• 60 second mini vlogs. 1 time per week.

• Each vlog entry must answer the following questions:

1. What did I do?

2. What was difficult?

3. What improved?

• Record a final 1 - 2 minute vlog talking about the whole experience. You can use the following questions as a guide:

1. How did you feel doing the experiment?

2. Do you like the new skill you learnt?

3. Will you use the skill again?

4. Are you going to keep on learning it? 

5. Is there anything you would have done differently?

6. What was your favorite part?
