Last blog for this assignment

This is my last blog for the assessment. Everything is running smoothly. We start presenting next week. Our slide is nearly finished and Ashleigh is sending the handout to Mr Lennon tomorrow morning to print out for us.

Group Evaluation

This is the evaluation that we have to complete:

  • What role/s did you take on for this assignment? I was a helping hand to everyone and doing completing my own questions. I helped make the handout as well. 
  • What did you like about working as a group? It was fun helping each other out. 
  • What was difficult about working as a group? It was also difficult because sometimes we wouldn't agree on some things. 
  • What did you learn about working as a group? Working as a group was good, something that I learnt was that we have to co-operate more and agree with each other. 
  • How well did you work together/co-operatively? We worked together well most of the time but sometimes we didn't co-operate. 
  • Did everyone contribute equally and enthusiastically? Yes everyone worked together both equally and enthusiastically. 
  • How well as an individual did you work as part of the group? I think I worked okay. I helped everyone when they needed help.
  • Identify your strengths and your weaknesses as a group member. Well strengths were helping everyone and helping them find their information. The weaknesses were my part of the research and putting together the blog. Also with trying to put my information onto the slideshow.
  • Outline suggestions to improve your approach to work. Well I could try to put more effort into my researching, help people out more.

Resources for my questions

This is the website below.


http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmonary/books/breathe/Sectb.htm  This is an awesome site that helped me learn more about asthma. 
This is the website below.
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/P/Pulmonary.html  This is a helpful site. This helped me with how to explain how we breathe. It also talks about diseases that affect the respiratory system. 

Problems with putting my slide on

The assignment is nearly due and we cannot add anything to our blogs afterwards. So the journal is the only thing due on Thursday 26th August.  I don't know how to put one of my questions on to the slide. I will ask Ashleigh or Krisantha for some help. We might meet up some time soon to work on the slideshow together.

Helping each other out and other decisions

Today I will be helping Ashleigh more with the handout. We are also helping each other out with the slide show and everything else. Ashleigh will help me to put my information onto the slide show. We will still be researching a little bit so we can expand more on our slides.

Planning and resources for slideshow

We are developing our slide show. Everyone has at least put on one slide except for Carli. We need to put our information into the slides. We are planning to get together again before we have to show our assessment. We have all completed our questions for the slide show.We will be helping each other during our lesson which is our last lesson before we have to hand in our assessment task.

This is a diagram of a human respiratory system. This will help us with the completion of our questions and help you where and what the parts of the respiratory system.
This shows how a person breathes using a diagram and labels. It shows us the lungs at which direction the air enters and goes out.
