Communication/Collaboration

My above artifact is a squid my partner and I dissected together during a lab activity. Before starting the lab, we thoroughly planned our approach. We discussed who was going to collect the necessary tools, and what our personal duties were. This ensured that we were prepared before beginning the lab, making the process smooth. We collaborated all throughout the class, communicating and working together to maintain an efficient and successful lab. My partner collected the squid while I gathered the dissection tools. Together, we found various parts on the squid and labeled our scientific drawings, ensuring accuracy. I used several strategies to collect relevant information for the lab, including asking my partner clarifying questions and seeking guidance from the teacher when needed. This collaborative approach allowed us to successfully complete the lab while learning significant information about squid anatomy. I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener when my partner is unsure about a task.
