Working as a Group

Researching about the lives of Native Americans today was very interesting. Our group found a lot of good information on several interesting topics. We found information on the mascots, the first Indian school, and the general history of the struggles that Native Americans have endured. I found that the communication within the group was very limited. Once and a while there was a little discussion over what someone else had found. Most of us did not even know what everyone researched until it was time to put the entire project together.

Communication also played a major role when we tried to put the project together. The group members creating the PowerPoint presentation seemed unsure of what to do. While presenting, the PowerPoint presentation’s slides seemed out of order. The order of presentation was also confusing. Most of the group members did not know when their slide would appear, as the order of the slides were rearranged after all of the information was put into the PowerPoint.

Overall, working in a group proved to be a lot harder than usual. It was very difficult to know and understand what the other group members were doing and when they were presenting. The information we found was very good and interesting, but the organization of the information was ineffective. If the information we presented would have been organized through better communication, than we could have had a more effective and interesting presentation.
