Jeopardy Reflection

1. What did I feel successful doing during the process of the project? What am I proud of?
I felt successful when I completed the paragraphs about Octavian because I worked very hard on the research. Usually, when I did research, my topics were harder to find information on or the articles were harder to understand that when I finished my paragraph, I wasn’t sure if mine made sense when someone else reads it. I’m very proud of our VIP jeopardy game because this was my first ever made game on power point. I first had no idea on how to make one and I also was confused because our instruction sheets weren’t clear. We had to ask other people or communicate with my groupmates and that was also something that I felt really proud of too.

2. What new skills did I value learning?
From this particular projects, I learned a lot of new skills. First I learned how to use workspaces or bookmark artickles on the internet. This wasn’t the only skill I learnd from the research part. I also learned how to look up the information you want only on limited sites. I think this was valued skill for me because when you want to do that same thing in the future, these might help me save time and get the informations i want quckily. When I wrote the paragraph, we had to organize the research records in outline but this wasn’t new to me. What I learned from this is how to write paragraphs like the encyclopedia article. It shouldn’t be exciting like fantasy story but should only tell the readers the facts and not your opinion. It should be boring and the sentences should stay flat. The last skill I learned that might worth a lot is how to make a jeopardy game on power point. This was toally new to me. In this skill, you had to know how to hyperlink things or even to insert a table which was used for score guide. I think this could be helpful in the future if I wanted to share some informations in a fun way using the projector.

3. What was challenging during the process of completing the project? With what did I struggle?
Finding information I want and reorganizing in your own word were probably the hardest thing. It was hard because when I found 2 good article on my topic, Octavian, there were 2 different information on something and I had to make a choice on which article to choose. The organizing part was hard also because I put all the informations in different order so in outlines, I hard to put all of them together in order. I had to struggle with that but I was happy whenI finished it.

4. How could I have improved my process so that I would have been more effective?
I think I could have done a better research because I first didn’t understand the researching process and it took me long that it was supposed to. I think that would have been more effective since I had to do the rest of the work as a homework. I also think we could have done better while making the jeopardy game because we spent nearly half of the limited classtime on choosing the backround of the slides. But I’m pretty satisified with the rest of the work I did on this project.
