            In the months of February and March of 2024, our class of SPC 1017, was assigned an assignment. This assignment consisted of a set of chapters from our book, a main topic, subtopics, a study guide, an agenda, a powerpoint presentation, and a brochure. This project was similar to the last one we did, however, there were different components in this one. The assignment was based on different themes for each of the three different groups. The different themes were, Self-Care- Work, Family, Sleep, and Exercise, Paying it Forward- What it does for you, and Good Eating- "Heart, Mind, and Body," Each group was assigned a theme, Group 1 had the theme of Good Eating- "Heart, Mind, and Body," Group 2 had Paying it Forward- What it does for you, and Group 3 had, Self-Care- Work, Family, Sleep, and Exercise. I was part of Group 3. How my group divided the work was by everyone picking their own chapter to write about and their own subtopic that has to do with the theme. My group started by creating an agenda stating an organized outline to sort out what each person in the group is working on. The groups also created a presentation including an introduction, everyones part/section, a brochure, and a conclusion. My group did the assignment a little different then what it was supposed to be. We combined the study guide, our presentation, and the brochure in one singular powerpoint presentation. Each of our group members contributed to this project and put in hard work. 

           The order in which the groups presented for this assignment was different than the last assignment. In the first assignment, presentations started with Group 1, then Group 2, and finally Group 3. In this assignment, the presentation started with Group 3, then Group 2, and then finally Group 1. My group presented first and demonstrated full knowledge and understanding of what we were presenting about. My group members and I covered many topics. My group covered the following chapters; Chapter 4: Verbal Messages, Chapter 11: Topic Selection and Development, Chapter 12: Organizing Your Speech, Chapter 13, and Chapter 14: Language and Oral Style. The subtopics that were covered amongst our group were Self- care: eating and going out to eat, the importance of sleep, reducing stress, exercise, setting goals and priorities, managing time, and meditation. We also did a conclusion, a section for questions, and a brochure. 

        My part in this project was to discuss the importance of reducing stress, different ways to reduce stress, and discussing the impact that stress has on our own bodies. I also covered Chapter 4: Verbal Messages from the modules. The topic of self care is a very important topic and it has to do with every single individual and with managing our own time for ourselves. I spoke about the negative impacts that stress has on our bodies. As well as, the different ways to reduce stress so that it won't affect you as much and so that you can be able to have control over it. 

        The other groups also did a wonderful job with their presentations. Each of the groups presented clearly and in a way that actually taught me what they were presenting. The groups each explained and discussed their topics clearly and did an amazing job. 

        Each and every group and group member worked really hard and put their time into this project. We all worked in harmony to put this presentation together. We all used our communication skills to communicate well with each other and get our work done properly. I am so happy that we got to present our presentation to the class and especially as a group. I really enjoyed the part of working in groups. 

            

Blog Post #2 David Vergara

    In the SP1017 class, I had the opportunity to engage with three insightful group presentations, each delving into significant themes that impact our daily lives. As a member of Group 3, our focus was on self-care, covering aspects such as managing work stress, nurturing family relationships, ensuring adequate sleep, and incorporating exercise into our routines. Additionally, Group 2 explored the concept of "paying it forward," highlighting the importance of kindness and its ripple effects. Moreover, Group 1 discussed the importance of healthy eating habits for overall well-being, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the heart, mind, and body. These presentations provided valuable insights into how we can enhance our lives and support one another. Through this reflection, examining the valuable lessons offered by each group presentation and considering how they relate to our own experiences and aspirations, I will delve deeper into the key points raised by each group, analyzing their strengths and areas for improvement, and reflecting on the lessons learned.

    The first group to present was my group, group 3, and we talked about the topic of self-care. Self-care means taking care of ourselves in different ways, like managing stress at work, spending quality time with family, ensuring we get enough restful sleep, and engaging in regular exercise. Each member of our group shared personal stories and thoughts, while also using information found on studies and people’s experiences. We wanted to show to our classmates the importance of looking after themselves not only physically but also mentally.

    During our presentation, our goal was to offer practical ideas and tips to our classmates so they could incorporate self-care into their busy lives too. As we discussed different strategies for success and well-being, I realized the importance of incorporating meditation into my daily routine and managing my day more effectively. These insights resonated with me, and I plan to apply them in my own life. Moving forward, I will prioritize self-care by dedicating time each day to practice meditation, which I believe will help me stay grounded and reduce stress. Additionally, I will focus on managing my day more efficiently by setting clear priorities and establishing a structured routine. By implementing these practices, I am confident that I can enhance my overall well-being and productivity.

    Group 2's presentation centered on the concept of "Paying it Forward," which means doing nice things for others without expecting anything in return. Throughout their presentation, they emphasized the significance of small acts of kindness and how these gestures can create a ripple effect of positivity within communities. They shared various examples of how individuals can spread kindness in their everyday lives, from holding the door open for someone to volunteering in their local community. As I listened to their presentation, I found myself reflecting on my own actions and considering how I can incorporate more acts of kindness into my daily routine.

    Moreover, Group 2 highlighted the importance of effective communication in fostering kindness and building connections with others. They discussed different communication styles and how each one can influence the way we interact with those around us. By emphasizing the importance of clear and compassionate communication, they underscored how it can contribute to creating a more supportive and empathetic environment. Their insights prompted me to think about my own communication habits and how I can improve them to be more considerate and understanding towards others. Overall, Group 2's presentation left me feeling inspired to cultivate kindness in my interactions and to prioritize thoughtful communication in my relationships.

    Group 1's presentation revolved around the theme of good eating habits, exploring how our dietary choices impact our overall well-being, encompassing our heart, mind, and body. They delved into various facets of maintaining a nutritious diet, highlighting its profound effects on both our physical health and mental clarity. Throughout their presentation, they emphasized the significance of making mindful food choices and integrating regular physical activity into our daily routines. As I saw their presentation, I found myself reflecting on the importance of improving our bodies with wholesome foods and the profound impact it can have on our health and vitality.

    Furthermore, Group 1 provided great insights into the cultural nuances surrounding food and dietary practices, shedding light on how diverse cultural backgrounds shape individuals' approaches to nutrition and mealtime customs. They discussed the importance of appreciating cultural diversity in food choices and understanding how cultural influences impact our dietary behaviors. This aspect of their presentation ignited a sense of curiosity in me, prompting me to explore how cultural factors influence my own dietary preferences and habits. In essence, Group 1's comprehensive presentation not only underscored the importance of adopting healthy eating habits but also encouraged a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in our dietary choices and behaviors.

    To sum it up, the presentations by all three groups in the class offered valuable insights into essential aspects of self-care, kindness, and healthy eating. Group 3's exploration of self-care highlighted the importance of prioritizing our well-being through self-care practices. Group 2's discussion on "Paying it Forward" underscored the significance of spreading kindness and the role of clear communication in fostering positive interactions. Finally, Group 1's presentation emphasized the importance of maintaining a nutritious diet and being mindful of cultural influences on food choices. Collectively, these presentations provided valuable lessons on how I can enhance my physical and mental well-being, cultivate kindness, and make healthier lifestyle choices. By applying the insights gained from these presentations, I can look towards leading happier, more fulfilling life while contributing to a more compassionate and supportive community.

Blog #2 Self Care - Sandra Cenatus

 Lucky group 3 had the topic of self care. I had decided for us to pick that topic because most information on it for our subtopics would be easy to find and interesting. The other 2 topics were paying it forward and good eating. If we hadn't picked self care I more than likely could see ourselves doing good eating. Would’ve had some subtopics like dieting, food education, food habits just to name a few. Whereas paying it forward, it sounds like something with motivation. Having to uplift others or yourselfs, techniques to see the brighter side of things as the subtopics. Group 3 had 7 subtopics that corresponded with self care. It wasn’t necessarily hard picking them but it was easy and simple. The first subtopic was what I suggested, “Eating and going out to eat”. I specifically picked that subtopic because it was something that was interesting and easy to find research on. Simply because who doesn’t like food and going out to eat. The best part about this subtopic is that I had fun asking my friends for some advice and their point of view about food and the comfort it brings. I had used my friends Jason and Nisha who created voice messages that I added to my powerpoint slide. For the assignment, we had about five slides per subtopic. 2 slides to talk about the subtopic, which included some personal and googled facts about self care. The next slide was about the researched key points, key words, and the summary about what chapter that I chose. Lastly, topic research slide. I had Chapter 12: organizing your speech ​

​Included the 2 choice of research from the list that was provided. “These are some of the topics to research while preparing your presentation: 1. Foundational research devoted to the topic and contributions from them, 2. American vs. world perspectives, 3. Local and national organizations offered to assist, 4. History/overview of the topic, 5. Family, teachers, clergy, business people, and others response and assistance. At least two interviews from the list above. In the powerpoint we also had to include a brochure of the topic that we chose.

The other topics were sleep, reducing stress, exercise, setting goals and priorities, success through preparation, and lastly meditation and prayer. We had an introduction and conclusion. With the subtopic of sleep, Jessie Diaz created it and the objective was “I will be explaining the impact of getting enough sleep and the diverse ways to help oneself to sleep properly.” her chapter topic was Chapter 14: Language and Oral Style​ Chapter 4: Verbal Messages. The next subtopic was from Samantha Suarez, reducing stress. Her objective was to “I will be describing different ways to reduce stress and the impact that stress has on our own body” with Chapter 4: Verbal Messages. Melany Valdez subtopic was exercise and the objective was I will explain the ways you can exercise to maintain self-care and the activities for your well-being, including physical growth. Self care through preparation, by David Vergara. His subtopic objective was “I will explain how preparing for goals helps with self-confidence and success.” and the chapter was chapter 12: organizing your speech. Oliver Irsula's subtopic was setting goals and priorities and his objectives was “I will explain how important it is to set goals and priorities to manage time to achieve success.”

Lastly the last subtopic was Meditation and prayer from Sebastian Roman. His objective was “I will explain how meditation is a powerful practice for alleviating stress and promoting well-being.” Our brochure was created by Jessie Diaz. The introduction was created by Jacquel Cineus and conclusion by Justin Rocha. 

Group 3

 In our SP1017 class, we split into three groups, and each group got assigned different chapters. The first group got chapters 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8, all about how to keep our hearts, minds, and bodies healthy.

I was interested in what Group 1 had to say. They started by explaining some basic ideas about eating right and staying healthy. They said that eating well can help us avoid getting sick and make us feel better overall. But they also talked about how lots of people in our country are too overweight, which is a big problem. They said classes about cooking, eating right, and staying healthy are really important because they teach us how to live better. They said the first step is to make a commitment to being healthy every day. 

Group 1 also talked about how important it is to keep our hearts healthy. They taught us about a breathing technique from the HeartMath Institute that can help our hearts and brains work together better. They also talked about getting rid of bad stuff in our bodies, like toxins, to help our brains work better. They said we need things like clean water, fresh air, good food, and enough sleep to stay healthy. They also said that being mindful and meditating can help us feel better all around. 

During Group 3's presentation, I really liked how their slides looked. Each slide had cool pictures and simple summaries that made it easy to understand. They did a great job keeping everyone interested in what they were saying. 

Group 2 talked about something really nice called "Paying it Forward." It's about doing good things for others without expecting anything in return. This idea is important to me and my family, so I paid attention to their presentation.

Their slides were creative, and their research was clear and easy to understand. Even though some group members didn't do their part, the ones who did worked hard. You could tell they spent a lot of time on their research because it was well done. They talked about different ways of speaking and how to do them well. This helped me learn how to speak better. Their presentation was fun to watch and made learning easy for everyone in the class. 

"Paying it Forward" is a great idea, even though not everyone does it. It's important to learn and practice kindness because it feels good, even if you don't get anything back.

⁤Group 3, which I was part of, had to look into chapters 4, 11, 12, 13, and 14. ⁤⁤These chapters were all about taking care of ourselves, which means keeping our bodies and minds healthy and happy. ⁤

⁤Self-care is more than just treating ourselves to nice things. ⁤⁤It's about understanding what our bodies and minds need and giving them that. ⁤⁤Taking breaks to relax, whether alone or with friends, can help us feel calm and happy. ⁤⁤Even a short break can help us feel less stressed and confused. ⁤ Sleep is super important for our health. ⁤⁤It helps us feel good and gives us energy for the day. ⁤⁤Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, so it's important to find out what works best for you. ⁤Stress is when we feel worried or tense because of things happening in our lives. ⁤⁤It can make us feel bad both physically and mentally. ⁤⁤Learning how to deal with stress is important, and there are lots of ways to do it, like exercising. ⁤Exercise is great for our health. ⁤⁤It can help us stay healthy and feel better overall.  

⁤My group worked really hard on our presentation, and I learned a lot from working with them. ⁤⁤Finally, we talked about how to share what we found out and how well we worked together. ⁤⁤It was a good experience for me.

In conclusion, all three groups talked about really important things that help us feel good and do well. Group 1 talked about how to stay healthy in every way. Group 2 showed us how to work together and talk well, which is super important. And Group 3 taught us about taking care of ourselves, both physically and mentally.

These topics are all really important because they help us live better lives. By learning about them and putting them into practice, we can be healthier, happier, and more successful. It's clear that by focusing on our health, communication skills, and self-care, we can make our lives better in so many ways.

Blog Post #2 - Jessie Diaz

     During the time of February and March, the class SPC 10926, had another group project done but this time it would be about three different themes like; Good eating – “Heart, Mind and Body”, Self-Care: Work, Family, Sleep and Exercise, and Paying it Forward. What it does for you, including the Chapters! As much as it was like the other project from Week 3, in Group 3 we had to research Self-Care, and everyone had their own chapters as well to do which helped us all learn how to take care of ourselves the right way! I wanted to write down about my experiences again like I did with the other blog.

Like the last group project, we all had our own respectful group but this time our group 3 had to go first which was nerve-racking, but we were all able to pull there with the best slides we have worked on! All the groups did a wonderful job with all our projects, and I want to do my best to write down all that I saw with each group and their presentation.

 

Presentation 1, Self-Care: Work, Family, Sleep and Exercise, Group 3

 

This was our group and had worked on the importance of Self-Care! I had to research the Self-Care topic of sleep which was something I knew some about because of how my sleep is and how I wish to improve it and with the research I was able to do just that. The others in the group were able to do their own research as well and we all were able to stay in contact with each other for any help any of us needed and to make sure we were all on track. During the days of our presentation, we explained to the whole class about the theme and chapters, and everyone seemed to enjoy and understood our different ways of taking care of ourselves, which is what we wanted with all the research done! The chapters we did were about the importance of speech and the ways to organize it! Doing the chapters was the easiest part for us to do and we made sure to do as much research and reading about each chapter. Self-Care is important for everyone and should be taken seriously as shown in the presentation as well.

 

Presentation 2, Paying it Forward. What it does for you, Group 2

 

Group 2 had another very important theme which was Paying it Forward! This topic has always been very important to me and my family so I made sure to listen well to this presentation so I can learn more about it and do better. I loved seeing how creative the slides were and the research was shown so clean and was very understandable. From the presentation, I knew that they all worked hard on it even though sadly some people did not do some parts from their group. Those that did their work were able to present it very well and from the research they did you can tell they spent the month on it because of how clean and well written it was. Their chapters were about different speaking patterns and how to properly use each of them which really taught me how to do that better! Their work was creative, and their research was easy to learn and read, which was wonderful for the class! The theme of Pay it Forward even though some people in the world don’t do it, it is important to learn and to practice because kindness will always be returned to you and because it feels amazing doing so even if you get nothing in return.

Presentation 3, Good eating - “Heart, Mind, and Body”, Group 1

 

Group 1 was the last group to present their theme which was Good eating! This group I couldn’t watch the whole presentation, but they were still able to present it well with their research about the importance of eating good and taking care of your body by exercise and having a healthy diet and more! Their slides, like the rest of the groups, were very creative and well done and their research was impressive, and they taught it very well to the class. I was able to learn how I wanted to take care of myself with a good diet and some exercises I could do and what they do to help me with my future at the gym. They also taught the class about the difference in cultures with this topic, which was very interesting to learn, and I want to learn more about that as well, the difference in cultures and the difference in communication between each culture as well. Their chapters that they did were about how they can organize and present their points in communication from what I understood and about how hearing is different from listening and could be confusing. All the groups did very well with each theme and chapter and Group 1 did a very wonderful job with the presentation as well, like the others.

 

All the groups worked very hard in these presentations and the research within each of them. Learning and understanding these topics were very important for the whole class and I believe that we were all able to learn from each other and was able to also teach our professor which is always a plus! Everyone should do their research outside of the classroom and be able to apply each of these to their normal lives so that they could better themselves.

          The class has been divided into three groups for the last three weeks of SP1017, and each group has been given a chapter. The following chapters—1, 2, 6, 7, and 8—were assigned to the first group. Each chapter discussed eating well for one's "heart, mind, and body." The PowerPoint presentation by group 1 piqued my curiosity. They begin by going over some basic concepts of the various eating styles that are significant for the lifespan of our bodies and general health. In line with their present explanation, a healthy diet helps fend off chronic illnesses and enhance general wellbeing. But the country is facing an obesity crisis, which emphasizes the need for all-encompassing dietary practices solutions. Classes on cooking, nutrition, and wellness are especially crucial since they provide the community with the information and abilities needed to lead healthy lives. Making the commitment to incorporate regular routines into your daily life is the first step toward connecting your heart, mind, and body. Heart: "focused" The HeartMath Institute's breathing technique aids in the communication between your heart and brain. Resolving hormone imbalances, leaky gut, and primary causes of edema by eliminating toxins from our bodies can help enhance brain function. We require clean water, fresh air, wholesome food, and adequate sleep-in order to maintain good health as we attend to our bodies' fundamental requirements. Cleaning refers to the absence of any poisons or dangerous compounds that might harm our bodies. Ultimately, connecting to our better selves may be facilitated by mindfulness and meditation. Our hearts, minds, and bodies all feel better when we engage in mindfulness and meditation practices. Slow recuperation is a major hindrance to overall health and physical performance. Hormonal balance, muscle healing, and energy restoration are all facilitated by sleep. It boosts mood and cognitive performance, lowers the chance of damage, and improves immune system function. Getting regular, high-quality sleep is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle in a long-term, comprehensive way. Upon seeing group 3's PowerPoint, I saw that each participant's slide had captivating templates, understanding summaries, and visuals. I was able to stay in class and see and listen to the group's presentation. 

 

 

 

They allocated chapters 5, 15, 16, and 17 to group 2. This chapter is important since these subjects need students to work in groups and interact with their partners. In this chapter, the students studied group dynamics and how to communicate with each other in the best possible way. They begin by discussing the concept of "paying it forward," which is simply another way of saying "good karma." is about the experiences people have had when they have done a nice deed for someone else and that person or someone else repays you with another favor. In general, the lecture discusses paying it forward, various methods of doing so, potential global impacts, and much more. The idea of "paying it forward" involves doing good deeds for others in return for a kind gesture or favor. Instead, of paying back the first benefactor, the emphasis is on showing generosity to a third party, in contrast to direct reciprocation. Kindness spreads like wildfire when someone does a random act of kindness and pays it forward highlights the dominating influence of little deeds, encouraging a feeling of togetherness and community. We may picture compassion being transferred from one person to another. Beyond written or spoken speech messages enhancing nonverbal communication can facilitate understanding a lively and conversational delivery style works well. Delivery is impacted by movement and appearance. Delivery may be enhanced via practice and adaptability. Good educational presentations consider audience interests and are memorable, imaginative, and interesting. There are several forms of informative speeches and methods for educating an audience. And evoking emotions and using logic are two components of persuasive speaking. The second group's presentation focused mostly on the issue-solution pattern, which defines a problem and suggests a solution. Explicit appeals aimed at inspiring the audience to act are combined with a problem-solution pattern to create the motivated sequence pattern. Propositions of fact are verified by the statement of reasons pattern, which arranges the strongest arguments in a logical sequence. The pattern of comparative advantages aims to persuade people that something is more valuable than another. 

 

 

Lastly, chapters 4, 11, 12, 13, and 14 were distributed to group 3, which included me. This chapter focused primarily on self-care as opposed to actual physical care. While many in our generation associate self-care with lavish presents or rewarding oneself after achievement, self-care is much more than that and is crucial for both the physical and mental well-being of individuals. The best self-care you can ever give yourself is to know and respect your body. That sense of calm and comfort that comes from spending time with friends or even alone yourself when you can relax is the epitome of self-care. Even while the emotion is just fleeting and lasts for a few hours, it at least allows you to let go of any pent-up irritation or perplexity. Getting adequate sleep is crucial, and it should be a part of every night's routine. Not only does getting enough sleep promote mental and physical well-being, but it also helps you stay energetic throughout the day. Individual differences in sleep demands are influenced by several variables. It is typical for various ages and genetic makeup to have varying demands. While not everyone has the same sleep routine, it is important to always ensure that you obtain the recommended amount of sleep by being aware of your own needs. One definition of stress is the physiological and psychological reaction to demands or difficulties from without. Stress is defined as the body's and mind's response to demands or obstacles from without; it is typified by heightened tension, unease, or strain. It is a complex response that affects both the body and the psyche. Expectations that exceed one's perceived ability to handle them are often the cause, and this can lead to a variety of emotional and physical reactions. There are several strategies for lowering stress and overcoming its detrimental consequences. Studies have demonstrated that regular exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease11,12 and enhances the health of those suffering from a range of other conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and age-related disorders. We hope that more studies in this field will expand our understanding of the processes behind the health benefits of moderate-intensity exercise and get us closer to developing innovative therapies that improve quality of life. Thankfully, I can say that my team and group put a lot of effort into the slides and the class presentation. Working with others on group projects taught me a lot of skills that would come in handy later. Finally, we offer methods for communicating results and evaluating teamwork.

 Blog Post #1: Group 3

Samantha Suarez

            Throughout these past couple of weeks in SPC 1017, I have learned more on how to be a part of a group and how to work together while being in a virtual class. Being in a virtual zoom class is not the same as being in person, due to the fact that there is less communication in a virtual class. However, our professor changed that and gave our class a path to communication by dividing our class into three groups of six to seven people in each. Each group was assigned a chapter, or module, to create a presentation about and present it to the class. Each and every person in every group had to participate. To be able to have better communication between the people in the groups, we created a WhatsApp chat. Starting off with group 1 being assigned to Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication. Group 2 was assigned to Chapter 9: Communicating in Groups. Lastly group 3 was assigned to Chapter 10: Group Leadership and Problem Solving. I was assigned to group 3, as well as my other Since each group was assigned a different chapter, we each got to learn from each other when the presentations started.

Group 1- Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication

            Group 1 had an interesting chapter about intercultural communication. Their presentation touched a variety of interesting topics. When Group 1 presented, they explained and described the relationship between communication and culture, as well as described to the class the role that communication has on culture. I learned from this presentation that intercultural communication is interactions between people that belong to completely different cultures and that communication between them is difficult. I learned about the relationship between dominant and co-culture. Group 1 also went over ethnicity, sex, gender, native language, race, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, age, disability, and so much more. Group 1 did an overall amazing job in interpreting and explaining their chapter. 

Group 2- Chapter 9: Communicating in Groups

            Group 2's presentation was about group communication. Group 2 showed the different types of groups that there are. They even showed and explained in great detail how groups are developed. In their presentation, they explained and went over the different stages of group development, including; forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning, and transforming. They also went over the different types of groups that there are. I remember some and those are social groups, support groups, work groups, virtual groups, service groups, heterogeneous group, homogeneous group, etc. I learned that healthy groups have ethical goals. I learned that being part of a group is like being part of a team where everyone works together to achieve one goal. Group 2 even went over accountability and how group members are accountable of their responsibility and their part in the group for working together towards the groups goal. In this chapter, there are three types of conflicts that were mentioned. The three types of conflict are Pseudo-conflict, issue-related group conflict, and personality-related group conflict. Group 2 presented their chapter clearly and in great detail which helped me overall to understand the chapter as a whole. 

Group 3- Chapter 10: Group Leadership and Problem Solving

            I was personally part of this group and I learned so much when I was doing my part in this project. My group's chapter was about group leadership and problem solving. We as a group, talked about how leadership works in groups or teams. My part in this project was explaining and interpreting what leadership is, the five common formal leadership styles, informal emergent and formal leaders, shared leadership functions, what a role is, task leadership roles, and maintenance leadership roles. I learned that there are multiple maintenance leadership roles which are, the supporters which encourage and give others positive and encouraging words, interpreters which use what they already know and help other group members, harmonizers which help solve problems, mediators which help find a win-win solution, and tension relievers which help others deal with stress through humor. Another interesting point that I learned is that taking on leadership is a really important role and you have to be responsible for your actions. My group and I worked together to conquer this project and we did a marvelous job at it. We communicated through our WhatsApp chat to figure out who is getting each part and we all kept our contact with each other. We all updated each other and helped each other out with what it is that we have to do and succeeded in our presentation. 

                In conclusion, I really enjoyed working in groups for this project. I believe that when you break apart a chapter between multiple people and then put the presentation together as one, you end up learning way better than just reviewing the chapter by yourself. I cannot wait to continue being part of a group and working together to achieve our goal in completing the projects together as a team. I believe all of the three groups did an amazing job in working together, creating a presentation, and presenting their projects to the class.
