Hello and welcome to my 7th grade TPOL my name is Rhys Sharp and today I will be telling you all about how I have grown in my classes and as a person. Our grade level lens and how it has helped me grow, how the habits of heart and mind have impacted me over this year, and how my significant adult has impacted my life. Let's get started!!
Group Work Reflection
This year I feel like I have definitely taken some ownership but in the final silk roads exhibition I was blaming some of my other group members for things that they did not do and I hope to grow from that and take more self blame on things that I did like instead of blaming one our group members Luke for doing something on our Petra painting we should have thought about the mistakes that we also made and not have gotten so mad at Luke. I have also taken ownership in things like individual work because if I didn't get them done then they were never going to get done because I wouldn’t have my group helping me finish my work.
Throughout this year I feel like I have been very helpful in our group projects like in the silk roads exhibition I was trying to work on something that wasn’t finished like a poster or something on our Petra painting. Also with my group Iris and jocelyn we all had to be very helpful on the human body poster because we had very limited time to get it done. This is why I think that I have been very helpful throughout the school year to my group members.
This year respect has been kind of hard for me especially in group work because my group could really frustrate me making it hard for me to be respectful towards them. In the Petra painting that we made for the silk roads exhibition I kept getting really mad at my group members if they weren't helping and I was not being respectful towards them. One project that I was being respectful towards my other group members was the science human body posters because we worked very well together and it made being respectful easier. This next year I hope to thrive in being kind towards my fellow group members because I have learned that if you can’t respect others then you can’t respect yourself. In the last couple weeks of the silk roads project I learned that I needed to be respectful towards my group members because if we were all mad at each other then nothing would get done.
