Recommended: High school Reflection Essay

For my senior footprint I really wanted to work in a group since I only have spent one year at NCS. I decided to text some friends and get a group together. My group was: Jillian Johnson, Emma Angell, Sarah Walworth, and Maris Graver. Working in a group is always fun, and mostly beneficially; however, coordinating a schedule that works for everyone can be difficult. So, to start our project those who could make it (Maris, Emma, and I) got together for lunch and began to brainstorm ideas on how we should do our project. We also began to think of answers for all of the questions that needed to be answered. We had some really good conservation about how these last four years impacted us, and had a million memories come to mind. We decided to use

    In our 6th seminar, we were arranged into groups to complete a “Wilderness Survival Exercise”, this activity consisted of 6 group members making logical group decisions that were impacted by motivation of others, and organizational behavior of members in the group. In summary, this exercise included a group of campers that were travelling along a river stream with their canoes, and all of their supplies, when suddenly they encounter some rapids, which lead to the group of 6 campers falling out and canoes being destroyed. Therefore, this led to most of their supplies and necessities being destroyed, or ruined. Prior to reading the case scenario, we had to form a group of 6 members discussing about what items are more of a necessity for survival than others. After gathering 5 other members, my group an I then went through 1st step in the 5 stages of group development, forming; in which we got to know each other.

    I was curious about how is work going to be divided. Since the project requires everyone’s participation, the group work was divided fairly and equally among us. Also, I was excited to have a real working experience with my classmates. In fact, this project gave me an insight of how much we get along together regardless of our differences. During the project, pride was the dominant feeling. That is mainly because the outcomes of this project will most likely benefit the students, teachers, and faculty of The Wilson Elementary School.

    During the time I was journaling for this project, I misinterpreted the focus. Instead of the group doing this project together, we have each been working at different paces if you will. So, in consideration of the directions for this summary, I cannot rightly say that we agreed together for two weeks on this experience, and in so doing may have come to a different end result than if we had agreed. With that in mind, I have decided to include excerpts from my journal within my overall response to the project, along with reflection and insight into specific instances that stand out in my mind.

    At the beginning of this assignment, we were told to break up into groups of four or five. These groups would go on to be our collaboration groups for this assignment and the rest of the semester. When we first got into these groups, I wasn’t sure how much my group could help me improve as a writer. Now, I would say I couldn’t be more wrong. My collaboration group worked very well together and helped each other develop our essays far beyond the level of quality they could be without the collaboration. For example, my collaboration group pointed out several errors such as missing citations and grammar errors that I either completely missed or forgot to

  • My Interpretation of The Five Stages of Group Development and Group Roles

    In this stage the students that will be working together on a group project are meeting and greeting each other. This stage is very important, because it allows the students to get to know each other by sharing their past experiences, what they are good at, and, perhaps, what they aren’t so good at. This is a good time to set up a schedule for meetings and deadlines that every member on the team is able to maintain. This schedule should accommodate each member’s time schedule, and focus on completing the various project goals. At this stage the student who is designated team leader should give guidance to the team and help them figure out their own roles within the team based on their skills and the requirements of the project. In our discussion board we function somewhat like a team. We have all come together under the guidance of Dr. Clarke, in order to achieve our goal of completing this class. We met each other during the first week, and we have had opportunities to share our ideas and op...

    During the first year of focusing on culture, I worked with two other group members to teach the rest of my club about the Greek culture. We collaborated with one another to create a presentation and Olympic course after we learned that the original Olympics was held in Greece. This group experience enhanced my skills of cooperation, time management, independence, learning the values of various cultures. As a group, we equally split up the work of researching and presenting, so as a responsible group member, I learned to follow through with my portion of work. Other than doing research, presenting the information and activity to

    When I arrived at the job site, I was greeted by the organizers, Steve and Jim. I worked mostly with Steve, a very exuberant and entertaining elderly gentleman. It was inspiring to see someone his age with so much spirit and passion about the work he’s doing to help restore the historic trail in his community. Steve kept us students entertained and energetic on an early Saturday morning with all of his stories and knowledge about the local species around the trail. Before we started working he gave us a quick run down of what we would actually be doing to help restore the area. This included pulling invasive species and spreading wood chips that had been dropped off by the City of Seattle.

  • What I Learned in the Academic Research Course

    918 Words  | 2 Pages

    I’ll begin with what I learned about myself. Throughout this course, I learned a great deal about my future interests and the characteristics I exhibit when participating in a group project. When working with Rob Geis and Martin Castro, I searched constantly and relentlessly through the CIA database to find any information relevant to our project and the argument we wished to make. Certainly when dealing with a History project, this is strength. It takes a great deal of time to sift through the necessary amount of information to make a sound conclusion. However, when deadlines are firm and very near, this type of research method is very time consuming and could result in an unfinished or inappropriately approached end product. I also found that in the course of the project I was attempting to micromanage certainly elements of the project. For example, Sam had trouble finishing his part of the PowerPoint because his Mac didn’t have office. I texted him a few times within a few days to see if he had finished his portion. During the final rehearsal, I asked both Drew and Sam to re-word things simply because I didn’t like the way they sounded or felt they weren’t serving their necessary purpose. Sometimes this type of person is needed in a group in order to help perform quality control. This type of behavior reflects my behavior and value in a group project. In terms of resea...

    I placed my hands on the ivory keys and broke the silence with my first note. The Music Teachers’ Association of California award a Certificate of Merit to musicians who pass a music theory, ear training, and sight reading exam, and demonstrate musical excellence through performance. Successfully participating in the program for all four high school years and reaching a level of at least seven, musicians obtain the Senior Medallion. I had learned and practiced piano for twelve years, working towards achieving the Senior Medallion. It was my final year, and I was at level eight.

  • The Impact Of Symbolic Interactionism On The Environment

    As with most group projects, I started out with a basic understanding of the issue; essentially pollution and environmental changes humans make impact the environment in very bad ways. I grew up with a family who believes in intelligent design, young earth theory, and they all vehemently deny that anything humans do cause damage to the planet- everything reported in the news or by scientists are part of a larger “Liberal Democrat conspiracy.” Thus, my views had become largely hazy and even though I pride myself on being a Liberal, educated, intelligent young person, sometimes I was unsure what was actually true or what had been dramatized or exaggerated by scientists or the media to actually get people to pay attention. In addition, I also

  • Reflection About Brainstorming

    In my experience and in this small group project I would be one of the more vocal people. By avoiding intimidating or shutting anyone out, it is important to have each person brain write to avoid any hesitation from others. In my current small group, we partake in electronic brainstorming. Each of us sat down at a computer and found articles that we thought was best fit to the solutions to the problem. After finding our articles we then posted them to google docs where we are now in the process of evaluating them. This makes it easier for everyone to find articles that connects to them. When we tired of thinking of new ideas we take a brake and talk about each other’s lives. I like to as all my groups what we plan on doing over the weekend and we also do it in our class when (Dr. Davis) asks us how our weekend was or even what is happening this weekend, giving us a break from thinking about school related items so we can start fresh. Brainstorming is important to do and is the best way to come up with the best
