Sensory Collage Project

Our group worked on all the components of the project together, which included the research, reference pages, scripts, and the PowerPoint. I believe our decision to not assign specific tasks to a single individual allowed us to fully understand all the information and get along better due to the fact we all were doing the same amount of work. In a group setting, we had to work together and communicate with one another in order to create a suitable presentation. One thing I saw that our group thrived at was listening to one another. Our book defines listening as the “active, complex process that consists of being mindful, physically receiving messages, selecting and organizing messages, interpreting messages, responding, and remembering (Wood, 2016).” Each group member had to

First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the

Working in a group to achieve a high quality group project can be one of people’s most difficult school experiences. Working in a group is tough because there is often someone who does not pull their own weight. “There are five stages to group development, adjourning, forming, storming, performing, and norming” (John & Wiley pg 166). Christine’s group from the Case Study the Forgotten Group Member is in between the Storming and Norming Stages. The Storming Stage “is dealing with tensions and defining group tasks,” while the Norming Stage is dealing with high emotionality and tension among the group members” (John & Wiley pg. 166). Christine and her group could have had better

My art project is for children to create their own Frank Lloyd Wright inspired stained glass window. The children will use various art materials and there will be options for children who are more advanced in their motor skills and options for children who are behind in their motor skills. Such as offering glue in glue sticks, or being able to paint the glue on. I will also offer pre-cut shapes, or the children will be allowed to cut their own shapes out of the various types of paper if they are at that stage in their learning.

We made sure to stay onto of our work and were able to go back and help other group member who worked after us with their parts as well. Because we worked through Google Drive, we were able to all work on the project equally at the same time. We all logged in, created our slides, added our information and picture, and left comments for one another on there. Bhavik introduced me to a new meaning to the quote, ”I don’t want to see you—die—trying not to suffer,” which I was able to later use in my presentation (Baldwin 264). I set up a group text message so we were able to ask each other questions and stay connected at anytime. Our group also met up in the library the morning before presenting so we could discus how we would present to the class. Working in the group setting was very important because we were able to hear each other’s different interpretations of scenes we did not understand or scenes we analyzed

My group consisted of four other members-Christy, Daniel, Brian, and Allison. When we were first introduced to the idea of a small group project we knew that our presentation had to entertain the audience, and at the same time inform them. At that point, we were functioning as individuals. Each of us tossed out a ton of ideas and some were shot down right away. That took about 5minutes. Then Daniel mentioned that we can do a parody of the television show Change of Hearts, and it stuck to us like glue. Gradually we began to feed into his revelation, and started to add our personal touches. Each of us became elaborators. For about 15 minutes we took the idea and expanded it to see where it could lead

Three reasons for believing in the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information is perception, interpretation, and knowledge. Perception is our sensory experience of the world around us and involves both the recognition of environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli (Bagley, 2004). Through the perceptual process, we gain information about properties and elements of the environment that are critical to our survival. Perception not only creates our experience of the world around us, and it also allows us to act within our environment. Interpretation is a communication process, designed to reveal meanings, and relationships of our cultural and natural heritage, through involvement with objects, artifacts, landscapes and

Nobody in my group except Luke impressed me, Luke look charge and formulated all of our opinions into a concise presentation. I don’t think any other groups changed my mind on the topics because the majority of groups just threw around statistics and had no logic behind their opinions and many

To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was

I think my group did a really good job of incorporating everyone’s ideas so we all got an equal share in the presentation. Before anything was added to our presentation we always asked the opinions of the other group members. Everything that we presented on had an influence of every one of the group members, so everyone was able to say they had a part in every part of the presentation. We split our presentation into different parts and assignments, and each member had their own influence. Overall I can say that I would not ask for a better group for the Youteach presentation. We all were respectful of everyone’s opinions, and accepting of everyone’s ideas. We worked together so I cannot say that one person put in more work than the other. Even outside of our meetings, my group members were available to me when I needed them and vice versa. If I would not have had the group that I had, I do not think that I would have enjoyed creating this presentation as

Prior to starting the assignment, I was extremely confident in running groups because at my practicum site I ran two education groups and one process group each day I was at my site. Going into the assignment, I had an idea which direction I wanted to go in for the video. Being that I do not live in California like my classmates, and I completed my work at my practicum site, finding members for my group proved to be extremely

Our group consisted of five members. The first step was to meet the group and get to know each other. However, for this meeting, two members including me didn’t show up. This made it harder for me to share my ideas and I ended up working more individually than as a group. After the first meeting, two of the hardest working members of the group strike an idea for a service to launch in the UK,something which would benefit us health wise and financially. We then came up with questions and started answering them and thus brainstormed a plan.They then split the work into six sub-topics. This made the researching task very easy, as we were five and each one of us chose a sub-topic that we wanted to do and the sixth sub topic was split between two members. There were no arguments over the selection of the sub-topics, and that was a positive sign about the group for us. The group was always in touch with each other through a WhatsApp group and emails, which is very important for group work. “Communication-the human connection- is key to career and personal success” (Paul J Meyer). The work was more individual based now, I chose Business Strategy and was willing to do half of Operational Strategy as it was the sub topic that required the most work so we decided to split it into two. During this time, is where I felt we were not functioning well because no one volunteered nor was interested to help me with the operational strategy. However, we all finished our sub topics and submitted it to one of the members who then created the powerpoint and sent it to all of us. There were no arguments until we were supposed to meet after a class to practice our presentation as a group and to make final changes. Only two of the members attended, unfortunately I did not go to this one as well and one of the members was really unsatisfied and unhappy with our commitment towards the presentation. After talking to the member, making sure she is satisfied and to be more committed towards the task, We then decided as a group to meet

Working in a group can be very difficult at times. Different people with different views may not always agree which one another. Throughout the various task I played the communicator. I made sure everyone was on track on what we wanted to do. I also made sure people was okay and happy in the role they was playing in the group. My group worked together in collecting ideas from one another and making it into one.

Being involved in a group project was a challenge for me, due to the fact that we had some communication problems between our group members in the beginning. First of all, we started with a brainstorming, analysing the opportunities of companies around Hendon Central. More than this, we agreed on the same firm and started our work. Within a teamwork, there are some challenges that occur such as remaining focused on a direction, splitting equally the work and choosing a good leader. Bearing all this in mind, I might say that we did our best during the presentation and we coped with the minor communication issues. From this experience, I realized that I am a good leader and I can manage efficiently a project.
