Reflection on week one

I used to think that our group would have problems with choosing few things because that happens a lot in other groups.

Now i think this is a perfect group we hardly have any conflicts and we cooperate really well with each other.

Week 2 reflection

Now i think that my team is very open-minded and come up with really good questions and ideas.

Week 3 reflection

I used to think that our group would not help the others when confused because the will be engrossed in their on work

now i think that my group is really helpful and kind

I listened to and followed difficult instructions when I was in my group or when ms Hemal or any other teacher was giving instructions and if I didn’t understand what I had to do I would always ask my teammates.

Speaking

I gave opinions and supported it with evidence in our group I gave opinions for the plan and what we should do next.

Reading

I could answer questions based on what I read by reading slowly and understanding every page so it made it easier for me to answer the questions that we were researching on.

Writing

I used note-taking to brainstorm and collect questions on dance for our survey. Analysing our data after our survey and also segregating our information after researching on different dance forms.

Learner Profile reflection

I was a good thinker because I was thinking of good plans of how we would present our information when we were discussing about how are we going to plan our presentation.

I was a very knowledgeable when we where researching on our dance form for LOI one because I would rephrase it in a sensible manner and also that it could be understandable too.
