Blog Post #3:Egypt Project Relflections

When we wrote in a group it helped me notice how my group worked. My group likes to get good grades and they like to write a lot. When researched the Egyptian History my group was fighting over which boxes they got. That made me think; maybe I need to just go with the flow. During that project some of my group members didn't finish and they wanted me to finish them. That told me that my group wants everyone to work together and help each other. In our ancient daily life plays my group researched gods and how the top society people would act lower society people. But I wish we would have known more about the gods we used and other gods because our research was wrong. We should have known more about the different gods. When we wrote our daily life script there were some disagreements and I usually lost. I feel like they do not listen to me because when I trying to write they did not like most of the things I wrote. They would delete it. When we finished the script it was too long and we were trying to make it shorter but A.C. wouldn't let me change anything. When we did the Pharaoh iBook I did the research and C.R. did the actual iBook. A.C and O.H. didn't really help but they weren't supposed to. For the Daily Life play we all did work except me but only because when I wrote something it would get deleted. I still helped a lot. If we got to re-do the project I would try help more and speak faster during the presentation. I felt our script was intelligent long and good. 

Group Dynamics Blog Post #2

In my group I take the role of a person who tries to help but can't always help. My ideas are not usually liked. I will not raise my hand unless I have a great answer or explanation to the question. In my group I don't talk while the teacher is talking or when a student is talking. I also don't talk very much when we are calibrating. I am this roll because my group doesn't like my ideas. I am also somewhat shy and I don't speak up very much but I would like to. In my group I have friends but not close friends. I think it would be fun to work with your close friends but you wouldn't get very much done. In a group that does not have your close friends it will be better to listen to others and get things done because you are not talking all the time. In my group we are all leaders but some more then others. If someone was tyring to take over the group and tell everyone what to do I would not let them. I would make sure that person did work too and counter propose an idea that they told one of my group member to do. If they were trying to boss me around and they wouldn't listen to me I wouldn't listen to them. The most difficult situation was when I was with my last group. They wouldn't work on our project instead they would play video games. I tried to tell them to work but they just said I was bossy and wouldn't listen. The group that I was in and the group that I am in were and are good learning opportunities.
