Lesson TIME!

Tomorrow my group assignment is due. We have all researched our parts well and our information is accurate. I hope everything goes as rehearsed.

My very last blog

I am so relieved that i have finally finished my science assignment completely. i finished my group  evaluation scaffold. I also emailed three attachments to my teacher. These were the worksheet, the Powerpoint Presentation and a copy of my speech. The assignmnet is due today and i have have already submitted it completely. YAAY!!

Circulatory system

This is the video that helped me understand how the circulatory system functions. I will also be using this as part of my presentation.

Group Evaluation Scaffold

• What role(s) did you take on for this assignment? I wasn't officially the leader, however I did sort of take on he role for one. I put together the individual PowerPoint and had an equal contribution to the worksheet. I also completed my allocated section.

• What did you like about working as a group? I liked the fact that the task was divided equally instead of one person doing all the work. I also liked that fact that we all met the set deadlines as a group.

• What was difficult about working as a group? The fact that on almost ALL of our allocated class lessons someone just had to be away. Also that it was a bit hard to decide what would go on the worksheet and what wouldn't. And who would answer which question.

• What did you learn about working as a group? Organisation of time is extremely important and that everything should be divided equally amongst all the group members. Otherwise one person is left to do all the work and as a result stresses too much without even getting all the credit which they deserve.

• How well did you work together/ cooperatively? My group worked really well together. There were not many arguments on anything and we all completed our parts before the deadline. The only worry that was our entire group was only once present in our class lesson.

• Did everyone contribute equally and enthusiastically? Yes everyone definitely worked both equally and enthusiastically as our individual questions were divided equally and the work was done earlier that deadline which shows the enthusiasm.

• How well as an individual did you work as part of the group? I personally think that I worked extremely well as an individual in the group. This is because i completed my part and even put together the PowerPoint presentation. I also did half of the worksheet's answers.

• Identify your strengths and weaknesses as a group member. Strengths: i worked effectively and completed my part on time. I made sure that everything was divided equally and that everybody was happy with all our group decisions. Weaknesses: I may have been a bit bossy at times. The group members may have thought i was a bit pushy for re-enforcing the deadline for the task.

• Outline suggestions to improve your approach to group. I could make sure that everyone is TRULY happy with the decisions and help others more out so that i won't need to keep mentioning the deadline and stressing about it. I could also try being a bit less bossy.

Lucky!

Today Kyara's USB snapped in half and all her assignments were on it! Luckily though her science assignment was saved on her student drive which meant that was one assignment she didn't have to worry about re-doing!

We also decided that our times didn't matter that much because Mrs. Manollaras told us that we did not HAVE to be 10 minutes or under and that a little bit over would do. I just hope i am not TOO overtime though. I hope everything goes well and that our presentation is informative and comprehensible.

Nearly FINISHED!

Today we checked our worksheet answers FULLY and everybody emailed to me their powerpoint presentations which I have put together aswell. We will be emailing the worksheet teacher's copy, our individual speeches and attach the powerpoint to Mrs. Manollaras. I am really happy we did not require an extra lunchtime meeting today. I hope evreything goes well next week Monday when my group will be presenting.

Home - work

Today at home i finished the answers for the worksheet. I have made a plan for tomorrow's group meeting. First we will all go to our lockers and collect our lunch and usbs. We will then meet up at the library. We will get a laptop and go through the presentation with a stopwatch running. Hopefully the time is under ten minutes. The only sad part though is that tomorrow is CHOC ITALIA day and i was really looking forward to having my lasagne and cake. However if we are able to go through the presentation quickly at recess it would be really helpful. I hope everything goes well and the timing is fine.
