MGRP Reflection...

Woohoo! It's done! What a great experience. I was so worried about presenting my project to the class, however the way it was handled was fabulous! Instead of getting up one by one in a long drawn out presentation of countless well....presentations, a group of students set up their posters around the room, and the students that were not presenting made their way around the room listening to the presentations of all the other students. What I liked about this technique was the fact that 1.) it took away some of the stress of having to be in front of the entire class 2.) I feel like I really grasped the material I was presenting because I had to keep saying it over and over again and 3.) when I was listening to someone else's presentation I feel I was more in tune with what they were saying because it was more like a one on one conversation rather than just another student in front of the class blabbing again and me wondering when they were going to be done and we can move on to the next one. Overall, this was a great experience and I would recommend this type of research paper to all other teachers out there!
