Healthy Heroes

2009
Our project is about living a healthy life. It looks at people being under/overweight,related diseases, healthy eating options and fitness levels.It also looks at keeping some of our vital organs healthy. By doing this project we are increasing our creative writing skills as well as our research skills. At the end of this project we hope that people will become more aware of their weight, energy levels and exercise, and would be more conscious of going to fast food restaurants. We would hope that people would choose a healthy snack, if any snack at all in the future. For our project we will use computers,the internet and healthy eating food books to research and get ideas from. In the end we hope that it will help people to live healthier lives. People will feel better about themselves and will make healthier food choices.

Team Collaboration

First we chose our topic.Then we split that up into pieces - health in general, healthy eating,eating disorders and exercise. Next we each decided what each of us would write about. This part was easy as we all had something that we wanted to write about.Acacia chose health in general including keeping vital organs healthy. Gavin chose eating disorders. Louise chose eating healthy and Oisin chose exercise. Finally, we grouped our information together. We did this so that the readers would be able to follow it more easily.

We overcame challenges by being democratic. We decided that if there were any disagreements about the order of our information we would take a vote and the majority would decide the best order. As a team we worked pretty well together. We worked as a team at the start to decide how to do things and what to do. Then we worked on our own and only worked as a team again at the end to put the whole thing together.TEAMWORK!

Team Diversity

As individuals we are all very different but we used our own abilities to create our individual pieces then combined them together in the end to create our project.
