Journal #1

What are your frustrations?

My frustrations are that some of the people in our group might muck up when someone is trying to explain something and that of course is rude. Another thing is that one person in our group might not do their homework and the whole group gets put down and we have to get back on track all because one person didnt do their work.

How will you deal with these?

Because I am Time Manager, I have to keep people on task when they are doing something wrong. So i have to try and get people on task and their work has to be done at the end of the lesson

What do you need to achieve this lesson?

I need to finish all the set work that the teacher gives me and I also need to listen to the teacher. I will try and finish my work at a high startard.
