Collaboration:
Collaboration is the ability to respectfully work interdependently with people of diverse backgrounds, skill-levels, and abilities in order to synthesize ideas to create a quality shared product.
To Kill A Mocking Bird Play
For this Project collaboration was very important. I was in charge of lights so I had to coordinate closely with the actors and stage hands to make sure I turned the lights on and of at the right time. I also had to make sure that the right lights had the right gels at the right time. The main collaboration skill that I will take away form this is that it takes of collaboration to get all the ques just right.
Vermacomposting Project
For this project we learned how to vermacompost. We studied worms. We studied composting. We even bought and maintained a vermacomposting bin. This was a long project, it lasted all semester. We worked in groups of four and feed and kept good care of the worms and in return they gave us fertilizer. At the end of this project we went to other high schools to to educate students on vermacomposting. This project really demanded collaboration because we did this project not in small groups but as a whole biology class. We had to actually communicate and form plans and schedules as an entire class and have the collaboration skills to follow those plans and schedules and to make adjustments in them to accommodate absences and other inconveniences. During the cores of this project I am sure that the entire class greatly improved their collaboration skills.
