1. Describe what skills (s) you have learned so far. Who taught you those skills? How did they teach you those skills? How have you mastered those skills?

Skills I have learned are how to measure and cut studs at an angle so I can put a top plate on top of them. Adon Ishak actually taught me this one. I went into his room and he modeled how to do it on a whiteboard. I have mastered those skills by practicing them on our corner plates.

2. Explain if you believe your group is ahead of behind other groups. Explain why you believe you are at that point.

I believe our group is ahead of other groups because Kaufman told me yesterday after class that our group did not need to worry because we were not behind other groups. Also, we really don’t have that much left if you think about it. Just a couple studs and some plywood.

3. How effectively did your group communicate and collaborate with each other? Provide one SPECIFIC example to support your point.

Our communicated pretty well. When I stripped the unstrippable screw no one in my group yelled at me. They simply said okay and helped me saw it off.
4. Today is a complete reset from last week. What is one goal YOU have for yourself? Explain why you picked that goal.

One goal I have for myself is to not strip a single screw. This is a good goal because when I stripped the screw it was a real headache and I don’t want to repeat that.

5. What is one goal you have for YOUR team? Explain why you picked that goal.

One goal I have for my team is to have all of our studs in by the end of the week. This might be a semi-unreachable goal but if we were able to do it we would be well on track to get our wall finished by Sukkot. Plus, we could focus more on helping other groups.
