Group Projects...

So I was saying before that I have rather done for our class group project media and communication.... and that I thought our topic, which is different forms of language, was a little boring. Well what do you know, when we got into our groups last week it kind of wasn't boring. I actually had some fun, and I think that we can pull this off. Yeah getting the film together will be a hard task to do, but we are all smart kids who can handle ourselfves. I'm writing this right now because I accidently forgot to blog last week so you are going to see two blogs from me right now. Lesson learned, don't doubt anything untill you actually get to doing it!
Today.....very interesting call!!! We learned that we have to speak diferentelly with our friends, family, children and how to speak in organizations...at work.
We have to be very carefull how to speak at interviews for a job, or if we have a job, to know and respect people that we work with or for.

the 4th day of class "relationship"

strong>That was the 4th day of the class, time goes so far if we don't even realize it. First my group member and I went to computer lab and searched information about the video project. that was the opportunity that we could spent time together and discussed what we're going to do on project processing. Later on, when we back to the class, the professor taught us about what is relationship and how it grows in our lives. It didn't seen that difficult for me to understand the relationship before professor went through over with us, but it just not fully understood. It makes me more confusing at some points. I know that is our responsibility to do the right when we certainly be conscious of it.

day 4- group project

Basically the whole day we spend it talking about the group project. The teacher gave each group 4 hours to go out of the classroom and plan our project. We went to the library and printed out the materials necessary for our topic. Then, we went to the cafeteria an organized all the ideas. After a while we had lunch together and we got to know each other a little bit better. It was really nice to work with them. When we went back to the classroom and Mr.Trapani talked about interpersonal communication; how relations grow or die overtime. It was really interesting what the teacher said about realtions if you act in a certain way over and over you will always find the same type of people and this is true, I can tell by my own experience. I will have to change my behavior so I can find other types of people.

Group project

It was our 4Th day and professor gave us plenty of time to work in groups on our projects. We had the time to assign roles by our leader, go to the library, do the research on our project and share ideas. The rest of the class we spend talking about interpersonal communication, how it effects relationships, and how relationships grow, stay stagnate or die overtime. "We can't change people, but we can change behavior".

group project

last friday we discussed about our group project, the teacher gave us the opportunity to go out and to organize our group project video. So, we found some teachers and students and we start interviewing them for the film. We did a lot of work that they, we finished with shooting and we will start editing next week. I hope we will finish on time.

4th class

This class was pretty chill. My group became a team and met up at the computer lab in the B building.
I believe by getting breakfast and eating together we somehow were able to comfort ourselves and speak up about certain personal subjects as well as the project. We were able to create a script and each person was assigned a part.
I'm sooo excited. Next week we have props and costumes ready to be played out with, and were gunna bring it onnnnn!
On Friday, we spent most of the day with our groups preparing our presentations. My group members and I went to the library to work on some research and writing out information about our own cultures. Our task for the weekend was to take some short films and pictures during the week so we can combine and edit our work together Friday after class. In class we learned about the different levels in relationships.
After I started taking this course it has helped me realize things about myself that I didn't pay attention too before, for example when the professor makes the remarks about not being good enough, I do laugh because I picture someone saying it to themselves over and over in front of a mirror. But that's how I feel about my parents especially my mother, enough is never enough for her and even though it's hard because I'm so focus on pleasing her and making her happy I do have to try to live and make myself happy. When I was younger I decided to do the complete opposite of what my parents wanted me to do just to annoy them but I ended up only hurting myself in the long run. So after I got myself together I thought pleasing mom and dad was the right thing to do to keep us happy and avoid future arguments but of course that doesn't work. But when I do try to only focus on pleasing myself my mom always finds a way to switch it up and say I don't care about her and I'm being selfish. Maybe I'll move far away, preferable to California or somewhere in Europe and I won't have to worry about it LOL, that has always been my plan.

Week 4

That day, we were doing our group project. We had 4 hours to work on our project. Before the day, i did some research about our topic and i wanted to be a funny style. When we started to do the project, we first discuss what should detail information be present. Then we went to interview some people like students and professors. Then we also filmed them and we film some scenes by ourselves. I hope our project will be succeed.

The fourth Class

Today, we worked with our group project. We collected our individual information researched from the internet and discuss them, then picked some out that we felt useful. Pamela is our good leader, she organized our discussion and type them down. Every group member attributes their idea. We planed to take the video next class and hopefully we can finish it soon. I really enjoy in this group because everyone seems nice and responsible. I am looking forward we have a good work in this project.
