1. Reflect upon the brainstorming process. Explain how easy or difficult was it to brainstorm a variety of ideas?
The brainstorming process took a lot of time. It was difficult because at first, I wanted to work with a partner but then it was easier if we didn’t work together but we helped each other.
2. We spent three class periods brainstorming. What is the value of slowing down and considering a wide variety of ideas?
It helps with not getting stuck with your project. It also helps with finding a project that is meaningful and you will keep with the whole time.
3. Reflect upon your ability to communicate and give feedback to your peers. What are your strengths? What are your areas for growth?
I think that I am good at giving feedback. I am good at asking questions to make people think. I think that I have to get better at answering questions people ask me.
4. Why did you choose your topic?
Because I love music and I think that it will be an accomplishment if I can make my own song.
1. What was difficult about not being able to work with a partner? Did you have trouble narrowing down your ideas?
2. Did you find a project that is meaningful to you and your learning?
3. What about the answering questions that people ask do you want to improve on? Is it adding detail or not brushing off their question?
It was difficult because we couldn’t agree on an idea that we could both stick with the whole time.
Yes, I did, I am going to make a song.
I think that I should add detail and I should also actually listen to their comment and not brush it off.
