I feel my ownership in group work has definitely improved, now I take ownership if I ever make a mistake, or did not put in as much effort, but also just getting work done and noticing what I need to do. One example of this especially in our exhibition groups, when we need to get a lot of work done together, just being able to take ownership and get work done for my group. One example of this is when we were in art class, and I was working with my silk roads group, I accidentally got a bit of paint on the blue sky, but instead of blaming it on someone else, I took ownership and if anybody asked I would most likely say it was me. Another example is in one of our first exhibitions we had this year, our storytelling one. We were working on learning more about the radio, we did this video in digital media and we all were able to take ownership of what we needed to research, and to write our scripts.

I feel like I have definitely been helpful with my groups, being able to get work done, although sometimes me and my group don't always get things done on time which might be something I try to work on for next year, but otherwise I feel I have been pretty helpful with my group work and finding tasks that need to be done. Talking more about my silk road group, we were really behind on our posters and we wanted Maddie to write everything because she has AMAZING handwriting, but that was taking a long time, so instead I found the dates and wrote them all on the timeline myself so we could pick up the pace. My 2nd example is when we were also in our radio group, when we were setting up for our video, me and Gillian were being really helpful and gathering props to help our group. 

I think I could work on my respect in group work, while I try to be nice about things and try to work well with my group, sometimes I just get annoyed with my group and won't always be respectful. I kind of turn on my perfectionist mode, and if I see something that I don't think looks good, or sounds right, I want to fix it, and it might seem a bit bossy. I think it really also depends on who is working in my group. If it's a person I really dont work well with I have a hard time working with them, but I think I have gotten more adaptable to working with groups, and I find that as a really important Life Skill. Continuing with my silk roads group, sometimes I had noticed that I was a bit bossy when we were painting or drawing things, I just wanted it to look unrealistically amazing and I should have not been that bossy, but I noticed that and tried to be less bossy. Talking more about the radio group, when we messed up on our scripts (Which we did A Lot), we were understanding and respectful to each other, and understood that it's ok to mess.
