Evidence of Work
During this project we got to choose one or two classmates to team up with to solve a world problem. My group chose Obesity. We started by doing research and taking notes and by filling out the assignments in google classroom. Then we compiled it into a slide show where we spoke about our issue, why we chose it, why it matters, examples of existing things, and our solution. We believe completely if they brought something similar to our idea to fast food places or started our own chain it would help people by giving them the flavor they want with food that is healthier. |

I have very mixed feelings about this project because on one hand I was able to choose what I wanted to do but on the other hand it was very difficult and my partner and I didn't focus as much as we should've. Our group didn't argue at all unless we were joking around but that's the problem we kept just joking and didn't really stay on task. I did a really good amount of work but some days I got absolutely nothing done which is awful. I really need to focus up next year and get my grades and self together. I need to be able to work my hardest even if I'm having a bad day. Overall, I think Jackson and I did an amazing job and we didn't have any disputes or fights about anything and I really enjoyed having a friend as my partner. |
