Lead Project #2 Reflection

Project Name: Ballroom Dance Advertising

Group Members: Elizabeth Ong (almost)

This project didn't happen.  I didn't start early enough, and Elizabeth was too busy, so I probably should have tried to find out who else in the class is good at drawing, or just used clip art or something.

Cole's School Cleanliness Project Reflection

Project Name: Scrub Our School

Group Members: Cole, Anna, Griselda

This was a successful project.  It was organized, and we achieved the objective.  Nothing really went wrong.  I think the group worked well together.  I only worked with another group member once, and the other time I worked on my own

Elizabeth's Talent Show Reflection

Project Name: Grammy's AHS Annual Talent Show

Group Members: Elizabeth Ong, Arun Somasundaram, Karan Grewal, Jenny Gao, Emily Chuun, Drew Hidalgo

The project turned out better than I expected, despite it being very stressful during the actual show.
I made many mistakes during the show.  On two occassions I had the wrong mike turned on, I had to adjust the volume a lot, and I couldn't find the songs that Austin put on the computer, so we thought it wasn't there.  That caused a lot of stress and made us have to do some things last-minute.  I didn't foresee these problems because I didn't stay for the rehearsal.
Other than my mistakes, I didn't see any other problems, and the show went well.
The group worked well together, we were able to assign roles fairly quickly, and from what I saw, the members fulfilled their roles well.

Arun's School Grounds Clean-up reflection

Project: School Grounds Clean-up

Group Members: Arun Somasundaram, Nic Bader, Cole Sullivan

We picked up garbage around the school on October 22nd.  I think the difference was visible.  Nothing really went wrong.  However, there was some garbage that was difficult to pick up with our hands, and we left some of it.
Our group worked well together, it was easy to do, we just had to work in separate areas.

Cole's School Cleanlines project

Project Leader: Cole Sullivan

Project Name: Scrub Our School

Group Contacts: cole99085@yahoo.com, Anna, Griselda

Objective: Cleaning classrooms

This project requires Cole's leadership because he is initiating and organizing it.

My role is to help clean up the classrooms, cleaning tables, whiteboards etc

Cole has a form that we fill out and have the teacher sign when we clean their classroom.

There won't be big obstacles in this project.  It does take time that we could be using for other things, but it's for school, so we have to do it.

Elizabeth's Talent Show

Leader: Elizabeth Ong

Project Name: Talent Show

Group Contacts: fabulizong@gmail.com, arunmadav2013@yahoo.com, au.wendy_xd@yahoo.com, Karan Singh, Jenny Gao, Emily, Drew

Date: January 21

The objective of this project is to organize a talent show.

Elizabeth is in charge of the project, so she will need leadership skills to make sure everything goes right.

I don't have a specific role in the project, I just do things that no one else is doing and that need to get done.

Our group has meetings during class where we talk about what progress we've made and we assign ourselves jobs and make decisions about what we're going to do.

The largest obstacle for me will be taking part in the project.  To do so, I will need to make myself noticed in the meetings, take part in the discussions and give the impression that I'm capable of doing the jobs.  The big obstacle for the group is time management.  Both of these obstacles will simply require hard work to overcome.
