Week 5

Reflections

This week has been exciting, but a very stressful one. In this week, we finalized our logo, central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concepts. I am super happy and proud with my group and me about how we achieved many things in one week. Betty designed our group logo. I really liked how she drew the social media icons and made it in a great logo. Then, Maya edited the logo and made some small changes to make it look better. Our whole group was really happy about how our logo turned out. The next day, we made our central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concepts. I think that we have a great central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concepts. Now, Ms. Richel will just have to confirm them. Ms. Richel also gave us a session on ATL skills. There are 5 ATL skills - thinking skills, research skills, communication skills, social skills, and self-management skills. These skills are really important to implement in life, and will really help you in becoming a better person. I feel that we made a lot of progress this week which will really help us later in the PYPX.

This week was amazing. Mr. James said that we need to come up with our central idea, key concepts, and lines of inquiry. We tried putting all of our ideas in a word document. Afterwards, we had to finalize our group logo. Betty made the group logo, and I edited it. It took a while. I cropped it, moved the apps to the right place, and it was all set! Finally, it's time to celebrate. We celebrated by putting the logo in our blog. It looks beautiful. After finalizing our logo, we continued making our central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concepts. It took an hour to make it, but it was worth it! Ms. Richel talked about the ATL. She talked about the different ATL skills, which are social skills, communication skills, self-management skills, research skills, and thinking skills. The most challenging parts of this week were that we had to make our central idea, lines of inquiry, and key concepts.

This week has been fantastic! We had lots of fun doing our PYPX. We had to get a central idea, lines of inquiry, key concepts, etc. It started off as usual. We had a meeting about our central ideas and lines of inquiry at school. Then we had another one at home. Our logo also got accepted that day. I really enjoyed our meetings at home as when we finished working, we celebrate for a while. Then we had a session with Ms. Richel. The session was about our ATLS. We learned more about our thinking skills, social skills, self-management skills, research skills, and our communication skills. We had a great time there.  Then we had to get our key concepts, lines of inquiry, and our central idea. It was hard, but we managed to get our final central idea. This week has been great for right now. I loved how it went as of right now.

This week, was amazing as it was stressful. First, Ms. Richel helped us with our ATL skills by doing a presentation for us. The presentation was great, it was very informative and well-organized. Next, Mr. James said we need to finalize our central idea, key concepts, related concepts, and logo. We overall had a lot of great ideas. My group all agreed with all of the concepts we made up, which was great. We finalized our lines of inquiry, logo, and key concepts. Upon creating those things, I received positive feedback from my team members. We were able to accomplish all the goals we had set out to achieve. One team member even mentioned how much they enjoyed working on this team, and I also feel the same way as I gave ideas, and contributed a lot. Overall, I'm proud of how well our group worked together. We all had different ideas, but we were able to come together and create something great. I think our communication and collaboration were great this week!

This week is good, we have already got a central idea and we made our logo. We got the key concepts and the lines of inquiry, we had a session in a foyer with Ms. Richel and she talked about the ATL. We have already confirmed our new logo and it is the official logo. We celebrated a lot. After we celebrated, we got back to work and continued. We had done a lot this week and it was an insane amount of work. I think this group is very hard working and it's something I would like. I enjoyed this week and it was very fun for me and this group.
