Throughout this huge unit I have improved and developed some important and useful skills. One skill I developed was how to research information better. While I was researching Indian Affairs, Mrs. Wood (our librarian) taught me and my group how to use the virtual library. Using this method of research will help me with project in many different subjects in the future. This unit has also helped me with my time management. Having deadlines for each part of the book helped me understand how to easily complete a large task in a small amount of time. Now that I have learned how to evenly distribute tasks in this unit, I will be able to do this with similar projects and units.
While listening to my peers thoughts and ideas, my listening skills have improved in a few different ways. While listening to my peers, I have gotten better at following other peoples' thought patterns and ideas. I am also better paying attention and retaining information that people are verbally communicated to me. Normally I have difficulty learning things from hearing it, usually I have to visually see thing but this project has helped me learn by hearing things.
I feel I need to work on flagging important things in my book. While I was reading my book, I tried flagging important parts. However I didn't do a good job selecting flags while I was reading and I didn't explain why I flagged it on the flag so I had to read the page again. In conclusion, I feel I need to work on being more organized while I'm reading a book in order to make my life easier when I have to do things after reading a book.
