Epic Movie-Collaboration? Eh. We were just OK at it. But Here's What I Learned for Next Time.12/5/2016 Okay so I had to work with a couple of people to get the movie finished. Originally we took pictures instead of videos. When we found out, my teammates were irritated but we continued to try to finish the project. I had a argument with a boy who was in the same group. So it was awkward. We didn't really talk that much really. I listened to music and my other teammates talked to their friends. Then it was time for editing. Editing was hard. I originally did it at home but then I forgot it so I did it in class. It was hard finding good music. There were so many to choose from! Editing was hard. I separated the bloopers from the useful clips. THEN i had to put it all together. It was hard. My teammates barely talked to me. They weren't friendly but they weren't mean either. I just listened to music when we wandered around campus looking for good places to shoot. Hey, P!ATD is good music to listen to when you're wandering around with a girl carrying a camera in a wheelchair and two people pushing her....
So what I learned for next time is to talk to my teammates more and to ask questions. I felt antisocial when they didn't talk to me and I bet they felt antisocial because I didn't talk to them! I have to learn......

Flying Words Project-How to get to know your teammates on a new project and be successful12/5/2016 ![]() This project basically didn't have a group since the work was independent. But other projects, it's all collaborative. I'm gonna show you how to get to know your new teammates so your project is successful and your sanity stays intact. Ask Questions You have to get to know your teammates or you won't be able to communicate with them. Ask them what they would like to do in the next step in the project or with your group, say one thing that you think no one knows about you. (Thanks to Mr. and Ms. Wolf for that) If you need help exporting a file or saving a psd., ask your teammates. They know some things that you don't and vice versa. Stay Calm Sometimes your teammates may get off-task or you lose an important file. That sucks right? But it's important to not freak out. When you get stressed out, everyone around you picks up on that and they get stressed out as well. (Happened to me) Some things stress out your teammates that don't stress you out. Remember, everyone's different. Make sure to communicate with your teammates and ask them what their stressers are. (Did I say stressers right?) Be Nice This is a big one. You have to be nice to your teammates or you'll never get anything done. When you ask questions, don't be rude. Remember the golden rule....DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. Very dramatic I know.... Don't Slack Off This is another big one. You can't just goof off and let others do the work for you. Everone suffers if one person doesn't help. Never forget that. It applies to everything in life. Hopefullt that was helpful. Overall with this project it was fun. It was hard at times but I learned some things about exporting files and keypoints in a video. Wait...that's still tricky for me.... ![]() I lost the original Benchmark 3 which is why it looks weird. This is the STUPID data table. Sand temperatures (11-7-16 @ 10:50 am)- Sand - 20 degrees Sand with carbon dioxide- 20 degrees (11-9-16) Sand-25 Sand with carbon dioxide-25 (11-15-16) Sand-30 Sand with carbon dioxide-30 Carbon dioxide No Carbon Dioxide 20 degrees 20 degrees 25 degrees 25 degrees Yeah....So I'm supposed to find patterns. I notice that they always go up 5 degrees per day. I don't think this data table is very precise becaue we checked them on random days and there are a lot of errors like the times are missing and they were checked on random days. So yeah. There you have it. Benchmark 3. I was supposed to have a diagram but my camera sucks. I'll put it on eventually. So my hypothesis was that we could find the perfect temperature for sea turtles in a week. But we didn't.....we couldn't find the right temp and some data wasn't recorded. So unfortunetly scientific conclusions couldn't be made. The experiment failed. I did learn something fron the two standards which were ecosystems and population size. Some ecosystems change over time naturally and some population sizes decrease. Sorry that the experiment was a flop.
