The last three weeks have been a bit overwhelming just due to the fact that we can’t control the weather. I spent a good majority of my time in my bed or on my couch, instead of in class working on our project. This lead to a big mix of “Sweet, I can sleep” and “Oh no, I have so much work to do.” We went to school for a full week this time, so we have had the opportunity to wrap things up which has been nice. I learned many different things from this project, as I feel like I always do when working in a group. I am very used to having to be the leader and doing most of the work in my less advanced classes, but that wasn’t the case this time. When writing this Macbeth paper, and making the presentation, I learned to work with people who do things very differently than I do. This wasn’t a negative thing, I have known the people in my group since middle school and really like them. It was just difficult to go from being friends, to working together as intellectuals trying to portray everyone's individual ideas. I often had my own thoughts about how something would go, but would have to readjust to fit the brainwaves of my peer. Again, this wasn’t a bad thing, usually it made me see a new perspective or greatened my understanding of the text, but sometimes it became frustrating to try and get us all on the same page. Overall, our presentation went very well. We focused more on being simplistic and minimal, and we relied heavily on our own knowledge instead of words on the screen. We all brought different things to the table, and I know I wouldn’t have been able to do as well without the other ladies, so I really appreciate them. https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/design/instructionalstrategies/groupprojects/benefits.html
