Final Learning Reflection
1. Planning
Our Project Planner - Here
Looking back at the planning we did at the start, I think… We shouldve put more thought into it.
Having had the experience of this project, if I was planning another project I would… Think before I act.
2. Process
Links to our Group Planners:
Time management and workflow
Looking back at how well we planned and then recorded each week's and day's work and managed our time, I think… That I could've did more work. Thing is, I didn't really find this topic interesting at all so I didnt really contribute any of my ideas as I didnt think about the topic regularly unlike my classmates.
Another time, I would… Probably contribute my ideas & actually do my work. This way I wouldn't have to finish everything last minute.
Collaborative skills
Considering how our group managed our relationships, discussions, decisions, and the way we shared out and contributed to the work, I think… We didn't really give it our best but when we got together to share our ideas we tried our hardest to give accurate responses.
In future, I would… Get my group together more often to share each individuals idea(s) so I can get everyones ideas & insert them into our work. This way we can all have a say in what we do as a class.
3. Research
Our Research Process - Here
Looking at our research and comparing it to what other groups did, I think… The research we did was fine but we were not happy with the look of our cardboard presentation. We thought we did a good job with the paintjob & paper cutouts but compared to everyone elses work, it looked really bad & unfinished.
Another time, I would… Create a draft version of what I want the finished product to look like. This way we wont throw out our work 5 minutes before presenting.
4. Planning and Preparing our Presentation
Our Presentation Ideas - Here
Looking back now at how we planned and prepared our presentation, I think… We did a very poor job with decorating / painting our cardboard.
Another time, I would… Start with a draft piece of work then work from there. Doing this will allow my finished work to be as good as I want / expect.
5. Showcase Day
Our Presentation - Here
Include photos or videos. (did not take photos or videos)
Include a photo of your display board or your display at the Showcase Day. (did not photograph)
Looking back on Showcase Day, you might want to consider some of the following questions:
What worked well for Showcase Day, and why? What didn't work well and why? Did you vote on the projects? Why or why not? Did you have a team member with your display at all times? Why or why not? Did you stay and talk about your project? Why/Why not? Were you able to answer visitor questions?
My positives for Showcase Day were…. Not there because…. my group was not happy at all, neither was I.
Another time, I would… Make the presentation look good so my group wouldn't be unhappy with the finished product.
6. Reflection on the Project
a) What skills did you use, learn or develop during this project which will be helpful in your life beyond school? Think before you act.
b) Would you like to do more of this kind of learning next year? Heck no.
c) What did you learn from this process that will help with future projects? Nothing.
d) What advice would you give to the teachers if they are running this or something similar in the future? Stop letting these misbehaved students be so rude to you, you have refferal sheets for a reason.
