Core Competency: _______Critical Thinking_____________

In my socials Treaty of Paris project, my group did an iMovie that explained the historical significance of the Treaty of Paris. We began by researching and taking notes, then created a script and started our iMovie. I was in charge of the iMovie, and I put a bunch of pictures we found that related to the Treaty of Paris together. I added transitions so the video would flow and I helped record the voice-overs. Some voice-overs could be a little difficult to arrange (I may have accidentally deleted one, and then used the ‘undo’ option). I think that what our group could have done better is some audio recordings and we could have found pictures more quickly and ahead of the time we made the video. But we managed and were flexible with continuing to find pictures. However, I really liked our video and the way we choose to do it. It’s been one of my more successful projects so far, I had a good group this time and I was able to focus without worrying. I’m glad I got to be in charge of the iMovie because I got to work on something I was experienced with and play to my strengths. Next time, I think we could try to do that with everyone and find out what everyone is good at, then put each other in charge of specific sections. Ways I want to improve are, I want to be less anxious about projects in the future and divvy up the work more. I want to make sure everyone is happy with what they’re doing and feel included, and I hope I didn’t take this project over too much. I can always try harder, I think, even if it seems like I can’t, because there’s always something more to work towards.
