What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience

 Prompt Response: Working in a group can be really difficult sometimes due to people in a group almost never being willing to do similar amounts of work. This leads to the work seeming sloppy in some areas and broadly feeling disconnected section to section. One time in my ELA class in 9th grade we had a project that required work from everyone to do many different things, as it was a short skit. It ended up being not very good and that was largely due to conflicting and not being 1on1 with our work and progress. I learnt better ways to do group work and how to better facilitate an effective group work environment.

Summary: We analyzed and cited quotes as examples of rhetoric in Barack Obama's Ted Kennedy eulogy

Reflection: I thought that the eulogy was very interesting and as it was a very well spoken speech, I was able to pick up techniques and systems for my own writing.

What challenges have you faced when working independently or in a group, and how did you handle them? Explain how those experiences will influence the way you approach this current research project.

  Prompt Response:  In the past, working on projects independently can lead to lack of motivation for me and make it harder to work on. But at the same time working on a project as a group can be problematic as not everyone is on the same track and may not be as willing to work together. I hope that during this project we will all be able to work on it on the same track and be efficient about it. Summary: We formed our group and talked about our projects Reflection: Being able to see the future of this project and how we are going to work on it gives me more ability to figure out how to approach it
