I effectively did my work in terms of communication and interactions because both my partner and I communicated so that we could finish our project in time. We each got materials to use for our scooter project, and interacted well to complete the project in time. We helped each other out when we needed help, and it worked well for us so that we could have our scooter move with two pennies on top of it. Figuring out how to make our scooter was easy because we both thought of what to do, and we combined both our ideas together to create the best scooter possible.
I was valuable to my team because I created the scooter and helped write the paragraphs for the PowerPoint. I got materials so that we could make the scooter possible, plus I created the idea of how to make the scooter after thinking for a long time of what we could do so that the scooter could move with pennies on it. My partner was also valuable to the team because he helped build the scooter, and finished the PowerPoint when I had to leave to go to Calgary. He finished the PowerPoint, and we handed it in later once I got back. We were both valuable to the team, and without us, the scooter wouldn’t be possible.
I learned from working in a group this project that it takes a team effort to build whatever it is we need to. Working together is so valuable in the future because you will need to be able to communicate with whoever to finish the project or anything in life. The communication skills learned from group work is extremely important in the future, and I will take learning how to work in a group from this project to my advantage. Carrying on to next year, I know that I will have more group projects, so what I have learned from this last one is that we have to be on the same page otherwise we will not get the project in on time. It can be easy to be on track if we just communicate with each other and figure out what we are doing together. This is one of the many lessons that I have learned from working in a group.
