=Assignment 2 Reflection=

Did you feel like you were in a race? Why or why not?\ Yes because the object of the game was to get to Morgantown first.

Did you and other team members agree on what to do? Why or why not? Give an example of one agreement or disagreement. Yes because we didn't have any fights or arguments on what to do. We all agreed to go to Old Town by crossing the Gulf Of Gobi.

What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? Why? Writing the diary entry because we needed to put a lot of imagination into it and make it long.

If you were going to do the same activity again, what would you change? We would finish the flight plans really quickly so we can fly faster.

Name two competencies you worked on during this flight activity. For each competency you chose, explain what you did to develop the competency. Teamwork because we had to work as a team to get the plane go to Morgantown first. We were sharing the responsibilities like pilot, co-pilot and navigator then we swaped our jobs.

Problem solving because we had to decide which way to go from one place to the other. For example, to go to Old town from Morob, we decided to pass the gulf of gobi or to go around the gulf of gobi. So we solved that problem by going the shortest way.

One of my goal is to write more by doing the work with my time and also by giving details on my work. I will try to make my sheet as long as possible and read over it when it is done.

My other goal is to read properly by reading aloud and I will also make sure I don't make grammer mistakes. I will make my mom sit next to me and she will give me feedback.

Assingment1 1. What did you enjoy

y most about making/presenting the cube? I liked how I decorated the cube and making a T into a cube.

2. What was the most difficult part about making/presenting the cube? The most difficult part was to paste the paper on the cube because I was scared that the cube will fall apart. 3. What would you do differently if you were to do a similar project again? I would do all the rough drafts at home and the final draft at school so I can finish first again. 4. Which one of the AIS/D middle school competencies (see below) did you practice? Explain how you practiced it. Problem solving because I had to use step by step techniques when making the cube.
