Today, Mr. Grey assigned my class a project for each group. Earlier a few weeks ago we researched on different ways of generating electricity. Each table group researched a different way of generating electricity. My group was to research on solar generating plants. The whole group researched a bunch of information and put it onto a piece of chart paper and into a concept map in a Google app called Mindomo.
A few days after that, Mr. Grey assigned us to type out an individual essay. The essay was on our knowledge of what benefits can be obtained using the particular way of generating electricity and the downsides of using that way of generating electricity. Since I did a lot of research with the group, I already had some information on the topic. I still had to research a little bit more on solar generating plants, but I ended up with a good amount of information on my essay.
Now Mr. Grey has assigned us our current project for this unit. The assignment was to either work together as the whole group, work alone, or split the group into pairs. My group decided to split into pairs for the project. I am working with my friend Jeffery who also did a lot of research on the project so I know he will also be able to contribute. The project is to create an accurate model of what the certain way to generate electricity would be like. According to Mr. Grey, he would like it to be functional but also safe because some ways of generating electricity involve burning of materials or other things.
We have just started on this project and are planning to meet up sometime to start the project over the weekend and do some things like planning out how we are going to do things.
