I am using the method peel to do my work(explanation).It is very useful as I am doing the explanation in the blogs,powerpoint and even the mind map and even this is a good guide to do it in the practice and the exam especially for SBA.I am have happy to have the opportunity to do the method of using “Peel” because it helps us to make sure that the points are written in a organized way and it also make sure that I write all the important point. Although “peel” is just a guide to any explaination,It is a good way to follow it as the guide to write smoothly and nicely and if you follow it you will get very good marks in your exam. I also use my background knowledge to answer the questions in SBQ.Sometime I also read the textbook before posting any posts and I also read other people posts and I will comment on it.

I also learnt have to edits my pictures and films using a Mac computer.The features using the Mac computer is very interesting.The project work is also very useful for me as I learnt to cooperate with our members.I am very happy that this course that the “creative bits” benefit me in my life and I think,I can use this it skills in my future.Learning it is not easy to lesrn outsite on school.For the basic at least,It cost at least $80 for the basic and it will definitely cost more if you learnt the advance outside so you must treasure any opportunity given in the school.

Cooperating with each other is very important.It is because we are all working together in a team.Every people think differently.I may think of somethink but the other group members may think of otherthing but we must join the ideas up and form a nice paragraph of all the people ideas.Sometime if people do not like our ideas,we must think of other ideas.Not everytime our ideas will be accepted.Otherthing is teamwork. Teamwork is every important for our daily life.In jobs even we need teamwork to do projects.If we do not have teamwork,nobody will learnt to accept us.In our group,teamwork is being held.Without teamwork,the PowerPoint presentation in miss lee class will not be held.The blog wil not have so many entries like 200 plus posts and 60 plus comments and most important,We will not even complete the documentary in time so we must thank everybody work in the team.There is also misunderstanding in our group.I have posted relevant things and the other members think it is irrelevant things and we spend one period to solve the problem and at last the problem was solved.Otherthing is communication.We do not have so much communication in our group.We sometime try to communicate at school or we will stay back after school and complete the work.

my group had a lot of problems when doing this project as the main problem is about discussion that make the whole project important and also the skill that the teacher teach in class .we can apply this skill that we had learn in the class and use them for the project.teamwork also plays an important without teamwork no work is done .i think the reason why our group do not have enough teamwork is because they do not trust each other.agreement and disagreement is also a problem as we cant make up our mind on what we do argee or disagree.i think all this problem can be solve by finding a time after school and stay back to do or discuss all this problem.

During this project, I learnt a lot of skills. In the photo taken program, I learnt how to take a close-up, a medium shot and so on. It will help me a lot in the rest of my life.I used some online tools such as toondoo, slide share, mind- map tool and videos. All these help me a lot on my blog. That made my blog looked more interesting and easy to understand. The videos catch the audients’ attention so that they would learn more and more.
the history skills like the analysing sources, inferring let me know more about the process of doing my work so I understood the details and more. That also helps me to uncover a lot of information inside the evidences.The planning of the movie, scripting and storyboarding encouraged my interesting in making a movie. As a director, I learnt a lot of skills about how to direct the actors and the videographer so that our documentary will be better.

In this project, our group had a lot of problems to solve. Communication is always missing because they said they got a lot of things to do and could not stay back after school. Therefore, we decided to use online to communicate with other group members such as MSN or email. Some of them still could not communicate with other group members, so we gave him works to do at home and then passed to me. After that, I would post for them. We were lack of discussion either so we always do it individually and then joined together. The last problem was one of the group member posted irrelevant things onto the blog and he argued with other group members so our group used one pried of time in school to help his to solve the question. Within the teacher’s help, finally, we solved that problem.
From these, I realized that teamwork was very important as well as to show respect to other members. That will help us to do the project in the fastest and the most successful way. The teachers really helped our group a lot. They helped us on how to do the project and to solve a lot of problems.

For the presentation, our group did a lot of preparing. We were trying to get all the information that we needed and trying to use simple language to help the students understand what was going on. Almost everyone contributed the presentation and practiced his or her own speech before the presentation so that I think the view of my presentation was not bad. I enjoyed teaching the classmates because I could practice my skill of speaking in the public and I could know my mistakes, problems or rather some missing points. Later on, I would improve a lot. While teacher and classmates ask questions, I knew that I did not study all my tasks and dag inside my evidences. I think if I can speak more, that will help me to overcome the little fear of presentation. I also understood that the teamwork and the process of learning were very important. If I could unit my group very well, we would get into trouble. The process of learning could help anyone of us to study the details of our work and the learning skills. If we did the process of learning at school, we would success more and more but the problem was we could not get together at school. We tried to use other methods to communicate with other group members such as MSN, hand-phone message, email and so on.

Coperating with each other
Cooperating with each other is very important.It is because we are all work together in a team.All people think differently.I may think of anythink but my other groupmembers may think otherthing but we must join the ideas up and form a nice paragraph of other people ideas.Sometime if people do not like our ideas,we must think of other ideas and impress them.Not everytime our ideas can be accepted.Otherthing is teamwork.
Teamwork
Teamwork is every important for our daily life.In jobs even we need teamwork to do projects.If we do not have teamwork,nobody will learnt to accept us.In our group,teamwork is being held.Without teamwork,the presention in miss lee class will not be held.The blog wil not have so many entries and most important,We will not even complete the documentry

1. Group work and individual contributions to project- include something on preparing for the presentations and what u learned having to teach the classI have learnt many things in this group. One of the things is teamwork. Without teamwork, this presentation will be a success. I should be the role model in the group as I am the group leader. Even though i am the leader, during the preparation, I learnt more things from my teammates. I learnt to co-operate and listening to other’s thinking. Discussing things calmly together, listening to each other and helping each other out is very important for work to be done. If we do not co-operate, things will not be done smoothly. Although there were many commotions, we still manage to solve them. We should do our part as every member makes up the team. Lastly, we have to treat the project seriously as it will affects the whole class. By teaching the wrong thing, it wll not only affect us, but the whole class. We have to be patient and explain things slowly to the class.
2. Problems encountered and attempts to solve these: what have you learned from this?
We encountered many problems during the preparation. One of them is that there were not much co-operation in this group. Everyone of us weren’t close from the start, so things did not go as smoothly as thought. There were many commotions, argues and disagreement. We managed to calm each other and talked things nicely. We learnt to understand and accept what each and everyone is thinking. By doing these, it actually helps us to move on as a group, with more ideas. Another problem we encountered is that our time slots clashes. We always cannot find the time slot where everyone can stay back as a group for extra work. There were always problems for staying back and completing in time. We always had to do the last-minute work. This not only make us in rush, but the quality of the work wouldn’t be as good as the one that we can produced.
3. Research skills,history skills like analysing sources, inferring, mindmapping, organising, questioning sources etc, multiliteracies skills ( english) such as planning movie, shooting, scripting, storyboarding
Shooting was the skill i have just picked up. I was given chances to do the different kind of shooting, such as filming and taking pictures of different angles. We have to be sure of what is the focus when taking the shots. We must know when we should zoom and when we shouldn’t. We cannot zoom without a purpose. We have to plan the storyboards and the angles before every shot so as to make sure that the final work produced will not be too boring. In this project, I have improved on inferring picture source. We need to focus on the main point and organise the points clearly.
