The first few days we worked on finishing up our group presentations and essays then presented our projects to the class at the end of the week. This week the biggest thing our group learned and had to do well was managing our time. Trying to decide which to focus on; essay or prezi, each day was important to making sure we were successful. We put our top priority on finishing our essay. We had a skeleton plan for our presentation but since we hadn't edited our essay we couldn't decide yet what information to put or to keep out of our presentation. Finishing the essay just meant rearranging and rewording. We all collectively talked about and wrote the intro and conclusion but for the body paragraphs we each took a slightly different idea and wrote our own paragraphs. We had to decide our to tie all of our ideas together and how to make the essay flow. Choosing what was important and added to our essay and what was pointless was fairly easy. At the point of revision we all knew where we were going with our essay, we had a little more direction and we had our big question. It was time consuming, I really took time to evaluate each paragraph and did a lot of rewording and adding/removing of sentences. We all had different timelines in our heads, so there was a little panicking by some of our group because things weren't moving as fast as planned. We talked it out and were able to adjust and learn to be a little more flexible. We met at coffee shops to work on things we didn't finish in class and really stayed focus so we could get it done and with quality.
