Last week:
Tuesday at ArtWorks we blogged using the Smart Board. Then we split up into our groups responsible for the chosen Mural designs. We then started to finalize our designs by creating a practice drawing the same size as the mural.
Thursday we worked with Ms Trammel on our career coaching and learned how to write resumes.
Saturday we split up into our groups to get things accomplished so we can get done with painting our boards. We also started transferring our designs onto the Mural board.
This week:
We will be blogging about our reflections from last week. We will be working in groups to paint each of the panels. We will delegate responsibilities with the group. We will develop details of the design. We will also finished our resume with Ms Trammel and participate in career coaching.
Ashley, "Building this Mural is fun, and sharing our ideas with one another helps us with our communication. Nobody is perfect, we may get frustrated and also mad but we all work through it and try to get the job done with encouraging words. "

21st century skills: Critical thinking, Collaboration, Problem solving, Communication, Self-Direction, Criticism and Feedback
Quotes from Team members:
Anthony: “Every week the team is together we are getting closer together. I hope that the team will be very successful at the end of the program.”
Towanda, “During this program I have learned about criticism and feedback because when someone give you feed back you learn how to do something better.”
Ashley, “I learned working in groups is better than working individually because you can get the work done faster plus everyone shares ideas.”
Hakeem and Malcolm Feedback on the day they pitched their designs to the customer:
When we presented our mural designs to our customers, I think we did a good job. Honestly, I think I could have prepared myself mentally to do better on the presentations. I can’t speak for anybody else but I was very nervous, but some how when I got up to present the design, I worked on all the butterflies went away. I really didn’t know what to say but I am glad I pulled through it.
-Hakeem Walker
The thing was that I was very terrified that I had to present the poster, because it was people that were very important. I had to step my game up and I put all my fears to the side and brought up my confidence and showed how I felt about the design we created.
