Reflection Blog Post 16-11-23

 What happened this week with our Power to the people project.

What have you achieved since the last post?

Our group interviewed two people (Ian and Colin from school) on Monday to ask about the schools heating bill and how many radiators/ heat pumps our school has. I did all the talking in the interview while the other group members took notes.

How effectively have you used your time in class?

My group and I have done work in class 3 quarters of the time, the other quarter we've spent taking breaks to keep our ideas fresh.

How have you contributed to your group's progress this week?

I started our Radiators slideshow, asked Ian and Colin questions and used my phone to record our vlogs.

Something going well in your group?

Everyone is working well together and we have all been in agreement over where our project is going.

Something not working well?

Our group gets distracted very easily meaning we're not doing as much work as we could be doing.

Everyday we've been filming a vlog and at the end of the project our group is going to post it on our blogs.

Power To The People Learning Reflection

 Hi everyone!

My group members Jessica, Jordan, Winter, Summer, Eunacee and I have started our PTTP project this week. The whole idea of the project is to get all the year 10s to work together, the teachers have combined English, Social Studies and Science to allow us to learn about all three of these at the same time.  The goal of this project is for us students to research and investigate something to do with sustainable energy in the Otaki community. At the end of the project we will present the project to an audience, my group is presenting our research onto a piece of cardboard while doing a oral presentation.

Our question for the project is how sustainable are heat pumps for the college instead of radiators?

1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?

We have organised three meetings with three different people and one of those meetings was yesterday (Thursday). Another thing we've done was making an outline of everything we need to do.

2. How effectively have you used your time this week?

Very well, every period there was work to be done.

3. How have you contributed to your group’s progress?

I set up an interview that we had on Thursday and also contributed to the list of questions we made for our interviews.

4. Glows: something that is going well in your project:

Everyone is working well together and we are very organised.

5. Grows: Something you need to work on:

Getting everyone to participate equally .

6. Where could you get help with this? 

Asking members of my group what they would like to do when we have a  lot of work to do.

7. What are the next steps for your project?

We have two interviews on Monday next week and after that we'll do some more research to put on our slideshows.

I'm happy how great my group is working together and I think our project is going to go really well if we stay happy with each other. I will keep posting on my blog giving updates on where my group is up to in our exciting project!
