I think the key learning experience in this project was working as a team to provide an accurate poster about a colony in the British Empire, and to understand different views on the subject. For example the negatives and the positives of the British Empire, in our writing we had to explain different opinions from different people.
I think we worked well as a group, although there were some situations where one of us had nothing to do, and the other person had loads and vice versa. I think there was at least one time (scattered at different times in the project) where all of us could have put in a little but more extra effort.
We allocated roles, but then side-tracked that a bit towards the end of the project so we could finish on the deadline. We did this so that everyone had something to do all of the time, and to organise.
Everyone worked hard, and well, and I think we finished a good and informative poster.
Like I said, we did work well as a team, and this is because we are all very good friends, but sometimes there were quarrels about who was doing what and printing things out on time, but I think that happens when people work with each other for a long time.
We covered the first 2 success criteria, because we put the negatives and positive opinions into our poster, but I think we could’ve explained our ideas a bit further and gone into depth with our own opinions.
I think our group could’ve communicated with each other a bit more to work better together. Some people weren’t sharing things with the group, for example information, what was needed to be done etc.
I learnt that I have to communicate better with the group, and not stress out and try to do it all by myself, there are other people there that can help me!
This could definitely have and impact on my life, it could be the reason why I don’t or do get accepted in schools, work, anything! I think I need to work on this because I’ve noticed doing it a little bit in other group work.
I could improve by maybe doing extra research to support my ideas, and to understand and go that “extra mile”.
