Reflection:
I am very happy with how Emaan and I’s poster worked out. We chose to do our poster on the NWC company, and i think that we displayed our knowledge on this topic well. The category that i believe we displayed is in the communication category. The prompt that i will be using is “I can work with other to achieve a common goal; i do my share”. Both Emaan and i contributed all of our ideas and worked together really well when coming up for information to put on our poster, therefore thats why i chose the topic of communication. A competency that i would like to improve on is through the topic Critical Thinking, and is being able to monitor my progress and adjust my actions to make sure i achieve what i want. Although we finished the project in time, ill admit that we did procrastinate a little bit.

Reflection:

In this project, I believe that my group and I thoroughly explained and showed The Sugar act of 1764 and the Stamp act of 1765 to the best of our abilities. Some of the competencies that I displayed while partaking in this project were; “I can get new ideas or build on other peoples ideas to create new thoughts” and “I can monitor my progress and adjust my actions to make sure that I achieve what I want”. These prompts were taken out of the Critical and Creative thinking section, and I think they best describe what occurred while creating this video.To begin, I used my creative thinking while my group and I were coming up for ways to display our knowledge of the Sugar and Stamp act. We weren’t quite sure of whether or not to do a modern reenactment, or and old fashion one, but after sharing perspectives and thoughts we came up with what we have (which worked well for us!). The next thing that I was able to show in the critical thinking department was being able to realize when I was on task, or off task. To be honest, there was a few times when my group and I were procrastinating and not getting much done (something I want to improve on) but I was able to realize this and help bring us back on track to get stuff done. Lastly, a thing that I would like to work on for next time (besides staying on track) is trying to delve even deeper into the history so that we can portray even deeper levels of knowledge in the video. Overall, I am very happy with how the video ended up and how well my group members and I co-operated!
