Albina Mural Project Documentary Analysis

Reflecting on experience is an important capability for an individual to be able to move forward. As (SOURCE) said, “(CONTEXT”). Moreover, individuals ought to be able to work not only individually, but also to work together in a group. Working with other people, especially whom you have not known is not as easy as it seems. In fact, it is quite difficult to develop an effective team. Through this reflection essay on the group presentation that I did last Monday, I have become more aware of useful strategies to deal with issues and understand what could be improved for future presentations. Developing teamwork skills is am important benefit for me as future professional workers.

In this group project, I had a major role in ensuring that it came together in a unified way. Generally, I usually take a leadership role in group projects so I was the central person coordinating group meetings and ensuring sufficient communication. To begin the project, we divided up the work by assigning people to work on the case study, find literature, summarize the textbook, and talk to key informants. My assigned part was to summarize the textbook, which also ended up lending itself to finding some additional sources to build on what the textbook was lacking. In regard to the group literature and informant summary, I ended up writing most

In the following I want to introduce you to two different Chicagoan artists, who were presented in the PBS series Art:21. I have chosen Chris Ware and Theaster Gates.

Our group consists of Asmaa, Kelly, Sasha, and me, and our project is entitled, "Mental Health for Male Prisoners in the United States." It took several weeks to work on this research, and the project went very smoothly. As a group, we worked together well. Everyone was on time for our scheduled meetings, and we divided tasks so that each person had a clearly defined role within the group. There were no issues or problems during the times that we worked together. Although we were not personal friends at the time we began the project, we developed strong working relationships that highlight some of the positive aspects and outcomes of teamwork.

By using the mind mapping, I would be able to review easily different lessons. Because of its format that presents informations in a graphical way, it will easier for a visual learner like me to use it to review for an exam.For this purpose, I need to start using mind mapping strategy for the rest of the course and go back to the reading that I learned at the beginning of the course to do a mind map for each reading. Thus, I will get all the notes necessary to prepare efficiently for my

When I attended the School of Visual Arts for a pre-college program, I was assigned to a group of four students. We were challenged to make a short film. The obstacles were abundant. Working as a collaborative team was a great experience, but it lent to numerous challenges. Since I had the most experience, I walked a very fine line. I wanted to respect my team’s right to learn through the process, but there were times they either asked for assistance, or I needed to interject commentary in order to guide the process along. Despite every moment in which I delegated or worked a problem out, there was a new disappointment accompanying each scene. It was very challenging to organize cinematography, lighting, sound and acting, and no one in my group could. So I took control, when inaction would have made the group stagnant and our decisions

In the marshmallow group activity that we had, I learned a lot of things that will be beneficial for my success in my eighth grade year. There were many things that went well and things that didn’t go well. And from these observations, I can directly find ways to change my views on collaboration for my eighth grade school year to be successful.

As the Researcher, my job was to research for my team. I was assigned to gather two websites , one article, and one biography or autobiography. Over the week I also helped other people in my group. For example, I helped Angelica calculate the amount of people Edel Quinn help throughout her life. I also looked for three direct quotes, and three indirect quotes. At the end of all of this, I learned so much about Edel Quinn and what she did to help others. As the leader, Maria asked us to do specific job. She also helped each of us, specifically as the leader . Even though she was not able to come one day, she still went out of her way to reach out to us and direct us. As the writer, Angelica did most of the writing in this S.T.R.E.A.M

I was reluctant to tackle the amount of group work that was required, but I found it to be most pleasant working with my peers who were excited as I was to investigate the jail system in Dutchess county. Contrarily, I always found that doing assignments myself was always better than the alternative—group projects. I was never usually paired with individuals that had the same work ethic that I had, and often found them difficult to accomplish. However, doing this presentation with the group I was assigned with was a positive experience for me.

Although I am more of an auditory learner, I enjoyed creating the mind map in Lesson seven. I noticed that in the past I would have a hard time elaborating on subjects when writing my

Writing on an individual basis feels like an artist with a blank canvas, but when you have a group writing, the process changes to something more like a team trying to win a game of charades. It is completely different. My group and I had to take a website none of us had ever seen before, break it down and analyze it, while using a power point presentation to display our findings. On one side, the process was difficult, and my role and strategies as a writer changed by listening to others perspective and making sure to create a flowing tone. On the other side, the actual presentation included different multimodal elements, which I critically had to think about my role and strategies as a writer to compose the different modalities on screen.

The mind map starts off with the central bubble with the title Health and Wellbeing as this is the topic on which the mind map is based. Following this I have added subheading bubbles which I have used to break down the topic sections. The subheadings are models, determinants, health and wellbeing. I chose these topics as my subheadings because they are the main sections of the aforementioned topic.

One of the most interesting aspects of this project was being able to apply our individual strengths towards the team goal. Each one of us was able to deliver a unique skill set to our combined team efforts and allowed us to reach our goal. Some of our team members were able to see the big picture and helped our team visualize the long-term

Although I titled the story “my worst teamwork experience” it was my best one because I made a significant progress in communication, developing soft skills and estimating my room for emprovement in teamwork.

Collaboration was highlighted by me learning that when I am working toward a goal with other people, I need to see what people’s strengths are in the given task, so we can deliver the best project no one has ever seen.
