Project Description:
For this project the very first thing that we did was research and watch videos about the topic we were going to learn about to intorduce us. Then we started to build and gather ideas about how we would desighn or mask and the topics we would talk about throuhout our essays. Once we got ideas we started to work. We had a few weeks to choose to eaither work on or mask or our essay, which I think was a good amount of time. Then once we started to finish both the essay and mask we had to refine them and get them both graded. That was the first part of of this project. The seconed half of this project was the design piece I really enjoyed doing this part of the project. The very first thing that we did was we got put into groups and we started to develope these ideas of how we could set up our exhibition and we all had such great ideas as a nineth grade class but we had to come up with one. So we sort of combined everyones ideas and we decided to have a maze like thing throughout the building and have it as the Cycle of Socialization. We got assighned new groups and a certain room and section that we would have to work on and desighn. Then finally, it all came together and we ended up having an amazing exhibition, I was really proud of the way it turned out. |

Reflection:
I believe that I grew a ton as a writer throughout this project. I needed the help from Sara to become a successful writer, I think that I used my time to write my essay very wisely, that is an important skill to have. I also learned how to write in many different forms, one being TEA paragraphs. In my Socialization and Identity essay after reading it over and over I could tell that it was better than anything I have ever written before. I think that it was this way because I put in effort and time and that is key. One of my largest takeaways from this project is my gender and what I have learned from society about being a woman and who I am told to be and how I should look. So because I learned this I now look at things differently and through a different lense. I learned that you should never judge people just by the way they look, because you don’t know them at all. Since this project I have stopped listening and following what the media is telling me. I have definitely changed my view on social media since this project. My main goal as a group member was to take the leader role, and also to try to have creative thinking. I had success when being a group leader it was exciting and new and I really enjoyed taking part in that role. A challenge I had was creative thinking. I was not a big part in the group to come up with the big creative ideas. I would usually just build off of them or help my group members to build their ideas. As a group member I took mainly the role of a leader. It was very different for me but also good for me. I learned a lot about myself and how to be a leader which can be a very good skill. I think that I contributed a good amount to my group. If I were to grade myself based on my effort I would give myself an A, just because I contributed and help with the success of our room and idea.
