What questions did I ask while working on the project?

How is this going to work?Are we really going to go outside and bury items and then dig them back up?

Did any new questions arise while working on the project?

Whose box could this be?

Why was the project valuable, whether to the world or to your own life?  

I believe that the cell phone project was valuable. It just goes to show that kids do have a voice and they can make a difference.

How has the project changed your view of the world, whether it be your personal world or the larger community/global world?

The archeology project changed the way I look at things from when my ancestors were alive. How has working on projects allowed you to see other people’s perspectives?

It showed me that some people have the same interests as me and they can also have very different interests.

How did you know what to believe when doing your projects?

When doing the cell phone project I felt that if it was on the internet it should be right.  How was evidence important in demonstrating to others what you learned?

For our research we had to cite our sources.

How did the project create a connection for you between subjects or topics that did not seem related before?

I never thought that math and science could be taught as one, until we did the game board projects.

Science

Math

What kind of predictions can you make for your future - next semester or further?  I don’t think I will be doing G2 in high school,

but as for this year I will be finishing the year in G2.

What changes will you make as a learner and/or team member and what do you predict the outcome will be as a result?

As a learner I hope to continue to stay organized but I would also hope to try and perfect my skills as a learner and leader.

• I am learning that building things and doing projects for classes can actually be fun.

• I am developing more as a learner than I was before.

• It’s easier to pay attention in class now than it was before.
