What did your group gain from this peer review process?

We realized that we did not complete the bibliography properly. We do have a resource list added to the mind node, but this wasn't enough.

In addition to that, we have too many words in our project and we might have to cut down some. Group activities were not added because Ms Suzy did not say anything about that.

What were the strengths and areas for development of your project?

Strength- good evidence, appendix

Weakness- too many words, no bibliography.

How will your group move forward now?

We will be discussing with ms suzy for further details about the individual element.

Writing challenge (Shark)

Starting Challenge (We will do similar exercises often as the way to become a better writer is to practise regularly, then reflect and identify steps for improvement)

In your learning blog, improve the story below. You have exactly:

• 5 minutes for planning
• 10 minutes for writing
• 3 minutes for proofreading

The focus is on quality, not quantity!

There was a shark swimming around me. I was in danger but I got away.

Planning

There was a shark swimming around me- i was in danger but i got away.

1) What am i doing?- friend drowning, save her

2) What happen? The engine broke down, we're stuck

3) What did my senses tell me? (throw a fridge with meat down)

4) Someone with a jet boat came and help us.

5) I was in danger, but i got away.

Writing.

The sky was dark and the wind was blowing furiously at the speed boat. My friend, Stephanie and I was going to go shark hunting. On the way there, Stephanie toppled over and fell of the boat into the vast ocean. Surprisingly she couldn't swim, and was trying her hardest to stay alive. I noticed she had a deep cut on her right hand. I knew that she had to get out of the water in time before the sharks came, so I jumped down and save her. Stephanie managed to get out of the water with the help of the boat driver. At a distant, I saw something swimming fast towards us and realized it was the sharks. I quickly tried to climb up to the boat, but I failed.

Sharks came swimming as fast as lightning towards me. It's teeth were as sharp as japanese knives and they have the size of a mini to a medium boat. They look like gangsters, but in an animal form. The next thing I knew, there was a shark swimming around me. I tried not to move, but it didn't work. My heart was beating continuously and I was running out of breath. I had nothing to do but wait. Wait for a miracle to happen. Any minute now the shark will come and attack me.

Reflection

This week we've covered group reflection and self reflection. We are about to do our real group project.

• Danial made a google docs for us to tick if we've done our reflection. *ticks*
• gantt chart's still undergoing process..
• We kinda argued about sebastian the crab being a lobster
• I've got stomach cramp so i didnt really did my fullest
  
• decided to use yam

1) what have i contributed to the group project?

- I've gave ideas and suggestion and tried to make dead line

2) what would i do differently next time? Why?

I will try not to do my work last minute. I'll do extra research that will benefit the group

3) What have i learnt about working together?

I've learnt that it's not about what you think, but also what other people think. Working together can be hard, but in the end we had fun and co-operate nicely.

4) What has been good/challenging about working as part of a group?

Meeting datelines is the most challenging one we had. We had no problem listening to each other, but meeting datelines was hard. Sometimes it was hard to make people do their work fully so we had to keep reminding each other.

What have i learnt?

1) I've learnt more about my teammates, and their speciality and what they are skilled at. And when i'm sick, i dont think i can contribute as much as I did before i was sick. And sometimes we went off topic, but we got back in the end. I've also learnt that some people wouldn't finish off their work on time, and it held us back a little.

a) Deciding and planning the project was considered ok. We co-operate on what's going to happen next and so on. But sometimes deciding can be hard and planning can be out of hands, but we manage to do it anyway.

b)planning and producing- Datelines was hard

c) reading and presenting my ideas- We took turn to present/ say our ideas out.

d) time management- dateline was hard to keep and getting people to finish off work at a certain date is hard. Some people did not meet the datelines and it pulled us back alittle.

3) I gave some ideas that might help the group, did alittle bit more extra research.

4) What are the most valuable points i have learnt? why? - I've learnt that sometimes it's hard to work in a group because one person may be pushy, some other person may not contribute ideas at all. But in the end the result was worth it as we have reached an outcome/plans.

Gp reflection on gantt chart

Learning how to use a gantt chart is kind of easy but applying it to our project is kinda hard. We had troubles putting in our datelines and allocating task for team members to do. Currently we need to find a dateline to what we are doing : recycling bins, booth and proposals.

We found out that we had limitations for our "teaching project" and happily agreed to put that aside for awhile. Our limitations to teaching:

• might be collaborating with class time which will affect our studies
• we cannot clash with primary school students study timetables.
• we do not know when we are allow to teach
