Team Collaboration
Ben: Overall, we did a great job with this website. Like any group, we had our disagreements sometimes.
Autumn: We decided to split the work we had to choose for the project into different people whose talents fitted it most. We learned different things we never knew before about computers.
Peter: We made a lot of compromises and listed all the ideas we had to find the best ones.
Hannah: I learned how to do better cooperating skills, and we learned all about that in our class on social and emotional skills.
Daphne: We learned to cooperate with each other.Overall, we did a great job with this website. Like any group, we had our disagreements sometimes.

Team Diversity
Daphne: My uncles are always making us laugh. That helped me come up with the topic. My family is originally from Columbia and Ecuador.
Autumn: I came here with some ideas about what we should put inside, like the comics. My dad’s side of the family originated from America as Native Americans. My mom’s side of the family was from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and Russia.
Peter: I brought puppets for the movie and did the flip book. My dad is from Finland and my mom was born in America.
Ben: In Thinkquest I contributed the idea for “Laugh Prescription” and I gave my funny personality. Half of my family is from Japan and my other half from my dad’s side is from Austria, Germany, Scotland and Ireland.
Hannah: I got the idea of the movies for our website and I thought of the ideas of the movies in science when we looked at websites of space that had movies. My dad’s side of the family is from Italy and Germany, and my mom’s side is from Germany and Ireland.
C.V. brought his funny personality and his love of food. He wrote the facts for the website. His mother is from England.
