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.

Journal #3

Are you satisfied with the groups progress so far?I am satisfied with my group progress because every one has done their homework and we are all on task. We are also keeping up with the other groups and we have done what the teachers have told us to. So our group is going good so far.

Who is not pulling their weight?

No one is pulling their weight. Everyone is on task and no one is mucking up. So everyone is on track and doing their work.
