Team Collaboration
Each group member made different contributions to our website. Clayton was part of a thinkquest team last year. He researched the process of running for and becoming president. Jon researched President Obama's plans for the military. Laurynn researched his plans for the economy. Brad and Jeremy were two new students in the class part way into the project, so they worked together to research education. Cody took a leadership role among the group and researched both immigration and the environment. He also helped the others organize their files and upload them to the website.
Team Diversity
We are part of an alternative class, called LIFT. The acronym stands for Learning through Integration, Flexibility, and Teamwork. It is a mixed 7th and 8th grade classroom. Our team consisted of three 8th graders and three 7th graders.
