Final Learning Reflection week 9

1. Planning


Our Project Planner link


Looking back at the planning we did at the start, I think that we did not want

to do it but we still did it and I'm

kinda glad that we did



Having had the experience of this project, if I were planning another project I

would try to do more research

and do less mucking around



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 we did as much as we could but some days there was nothing

we could put down so its bland


Another time, I would add more to them


Collaborative skills


Considering how our group managed our relationships, discussions, decisions, and

the way we shared out and contributed to the work, I think it was vary fun doing a big group project


In future, I would love to do a better subject



3. Research


Our Research Process


Looking at our research and comparing it to what other groups did, I think we did

not do much but all that we did get was enough to get a good presentation



Another time, I would do more on looks and overall better the questions



4. Planning and Preparing our Presentation


Our Presentation Ideas link


Looking back now at how we planned and prepared our presentation, I think we

should of made it more apeling but other than that we did well



Another time, I would get someone artist to look at it and help us




5. Showcase Day


Our Presentation (Final Product/s)


Here is our link to the slides



Looking back on Showcase Day, you might want to consider some of the following questions:


What worked well for Showcase Day, and why?

I was at the stand talking to people who asked and it was super fun and it helped our project a lot


What didn't work well and why?

the presentation was not very good


Did you vote on the projects?

no did not have any time as I was at the stand


Did you have a team member with your display at all times?

me it was me


Why or why not?

I love talking to people so


Did you stay and talk about your project?

I talked about the project and our questions and about what we did in this class and how i felt about it


Were you able to answer visitor questions?

it was easy because I learnt a lot about it when i researched it and i have a lot of general knowledge


My positives for Showcase Day were I got to talk to lots of people because I love being interested in

people and listening to their ideas




Another time, I would not change much just what question we do and talk more




6. Reflection on the Project



a) What skills did you use, learn or develop during this project that will be helpful in your

b) Would you like to do more of this kind of learning next year? maby
