Reflective Journal 5

1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.

In this lesson I have learnt the contract for my group and the class. This was done by the whole class instead of individual groups. Everyone in the class contributed fair rules for, group work, work ethic and absences. The second thing that I learnt was what the new project was about, the class also got put into their new groups.

2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.

The first thing I could improve from last project, this project is my work ethic with my group. I have to communicate well with my new team and be more respectful to my teamates.The second thing I want to improve on this project is achieving higher marks. I want to try my best to do better than what I did last term, so that means that i have to put 100% into all my work and make sure that my group is on track and working hard so we can achieve the best marks possible.

3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.

Well in our class today we have implemented the 3 strike rule. This means that each team member can be given strikes from teammates if misbehaving or not completing or handing in work. If the group member receives 3 strikes, he will be reported to the teacher, where a demerit or detention will be issued. The second way we could settle disputes is by a group vote, the group will have a chance to decide what happens.
