Spring Project Reflection

1.        Some examples of how my group used teamwork while working on our project was that we always gave each other feedback on each thing that we did on our own.  We also reviewed everyone in our group’s work to see if it was done correctly and even took away points when things weren’t done correctly. 

2.       Some of the biggest challenges are group faced was getting everybody to complete what was assigned each day.  Our group has some people who don’t like to do work and if not completed it could affect our overall grade. 

3.       What I will do differently on the next project considering I have less time is make deadlines each day and meet each deadline by the end of class.  I will let my group members know to keep reminding me to stay on task. 

4.       I’m happy with the overall performance of my group because all of us got everything accomplished when the deadlines came.  We all worked together and reminded each other when the due dates came to accomplish each task. 

5.       I enjoyed working with partners on this project because it let us be more freely and work with one another.  I also like the overall assignment that was given to us. 

6.       There’s nothing that I didn’t enjoy about the project. 

7.       If I could design my own project from scratch it would be that we would have to make our own sculpture using our own topic.  We would choose a topic and build a sculpture based on anything you want about the topic.  This would be a group project and you will need to get your own materials based on what you’re building.   

"Environmental Awareness Post-Assessment/Reflection"

1. When I hear the word environment I think of the outside world and the people around me.  I also think about trees and grass.  Environment also has to do with the animals habitats to. 
2.  Problems that humans may face with regard to the environment is polluting the environment and the effects of global warming.  The global warming can affect the climate change in the world. 
3.  Problems that animals may face with regard to the environment is the destroying of their habbitats and the pollution in their environment.  Animals environment are affected by people who cut down their trees and destroy things such as forest. 
4.  I know that recycling is good for the environment because it helps limit waste and keep reusing materials.  Recycling can consist of paper, bottles, and cardboard. 
5.  I think recycling is important because it helps the environment by not piling up on waste and renewing the materials. Its also important because it limits resources. 
6.  Some things individuals can do to keep our environment healthy for people and animals are recycling bottles, paper, and going green in their houseld.
7.  Some things communities can do to keep our environment healthy for people and animals are spreading the word about going green in their community and setting up a going green community group.
8.  Some things large industries can do to keep our environment healthy for people and animals are creating materials created out of recycled materials and making going green items available for everyone.  Also large industries can stop destroying animals habitats.
9.  On a scale from 1-10 im a 3 because I know that the environment is important to me but i really could care less because what 1 person does wont make a difference.
10.  I think my work on the I-Search was ok because i spent alot of quality time on it but i didnt finish a part.  I think my work on the I-Search has helped me become more college ready because it prepared me for what we will do in college working on a I-Search paper.  Next time I work on an I-Search paper i will use my outside time more effeciently. 

Project Upcycle Reflection

The active members in my group were me and Cleve. 
My teams project didnt go as planned because at the last minute my team kicked me out the group unexpectedly and i had to regroup on my own. 
I was responsible for creating are project and designing it.  Cleve was responsible for painting our project. 
The skills we needed to use to complete our project was critical thinking and teamwork because we had to figure out how to keep our basketball a round shape using paper and we had to figure out what each of us was going to do. 
This project has taught me the importance of recycling, and reusing because it taught me that many of the things we throw in the garbage and get rid of can be reused into more things instead of affecting the environment. 
The possibilities that this project has taught me when it comes to reducing, and recycling are that if the whole world can just start to recycle and be able to do an upcycle project we would limit alot of waste and stop alot of pollution.
