Overview
For this project, I wrote a short story that incorporated the story of To Kill a Mockingbird and the roller coaster at Belmont Park. I also did a draft sketch and a final sketch for the project.
I was in a group with Scot and Celina. I did all of the work.
This project gave me a lot of freedom to write a short, creative piece of writing as well as to draw the shape of the roller coaster. I think that the short story is the best part of what I turned in.
Collaboration as well as getting the other members of my group to participate was a problem.
If I were to change this project, I would have made it more clear what each member of the team was supposed to do. I would have also made a designated time during the accompanying field trip where all the groups would sit down and start working on their portion of work. Because this didn't happen, everyone was relying on me to do the work.

In this project my team made a small jail out of cardboard which we painted gray and black to make it look more realistic. We then made two black hands out of construction paper and positioned the hands as if they were grabbing the bars. Finally, we made a black head out of cardboard and put it behind the bars to make a face peering out from behind the bars of his jail.
For this project I was working with Andres. It was interesting working with him in a group. After he created the cardboard jail he stopped working. I then brainstormed what to add to what he made and added the hands and face in the jail to represent Tom Robinson. I also revised and edited our team's explanation of what we made, how it was related to the story and why it was original.
I learned a couple things from this project, one of them was that I should have some materials at home such as clay and certain colors of construction paper in order to make a great piece of work. Unfortunately, I didn't have useful any out of class materials to bring.
It was nice to have an extra day to complete this project. Though my partner did do some work our work ethic was not established and there was minimal collaboration.
If I were to change this project I would provide more materials, other than that though, the project was fine.
