Week 10

We made a lot of progress last week. Pretty much everyone has finished both of his or her script. We have finished our political poster and the artist’s statement. We are now working on combining our scripts, working on our power point and getting images for our documentary film. We have been very successful at working on our work. Most of the off task chatting has ended. People have been staying more on task. I have learned that if you divide up the work and take a facilitating role you can get people to do more work.

Week 9

I have been doing very well with my research paper. I have finished my first draft and turned it in already. Over the weekend I would like to read it over again myself and make some corrections. I would also like my mom to read it over to see what she thinks I should improve on. Then I would like to get caught up with other homework I need to do. I have been having a little trouble with the organizing of my paper, but other than that I’ve been doing fine.

Week 8

We have been continuing to collaborate productively. We share ideas with each other and help each other out. People have been paying more attention which is good. Expressing ourselves creatively is improving we are thinking of creative ways to do benchmarks. Managing projects effectively still needs some work because some group members are procrastinating and not getting there work in. In this past week we worked on guiding questions , political art and story boards. We have finished one of our story boards, but there is still one more to go. Most of us are still working on the guiding questions and the rough draft of political art. Yes we were successful, because everyone pulled their weight. If they did not get done with the guiding questions or political art they at least got half of the way there. I learned that if you take priority and go to your members and talk to them then they’ll get work done.
