1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? How or Why not?

Our image has not changed during the project because we decided to stick with our plan.

The form of medium that allows me to best connect with Jesus is a sad and quite music because it shows the suffering of Jesus.

I like this represention because it shows that Jesus can see what we are doing on Earth so if we commit a crime, Jesus would know.

The factors that currently shape my image of Jesus is that Jess is controlling the universe. People are scared to commit a crime because they want to go to heaven and if they do commit a crime, Jesus can see that.

1) What words and or images come to mind when you hear the word Jesus.

Journal Entry 1 - Selecting Groups

Posted on by rlakshman.
Categories: 9-3 CST/IST (project 4).

1. List TWO problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups.

The two problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups are that you might have to pick your friends who dont do their work. Another problem is that someone might pick you in their group but you dont want to be in their group so you dont do your work.

2. Which type of student do you think would be selected first?

I think that the type of student that would be selected first are the smart students who always compete their work to the best of their ability.

3. Why do you think they were selected first?

I think that these students are selected because it would get the group a good mark and a smart student can explain the task so the other group members would understand. 

4. Which type of student do you was selected last?

I think that the lazy students who dont do any work are selected last. This is because group members would give that person a responsibility and if the person doesnt do his task, the whole group loses the mark.

5. What beneficial characteristics can you offer to your group?

Some beneficial characteristic I can offer to my group are that i would work to the best of my ability and help other group members.

6. List THREE things you personally would like to improve on during this project.

The three things I personally would like to improve on during this project are that the two groups could join and create a mini tutorial or an interactive activity. Journal entries which give us guidelines to our task and teachers checking our folder once a week and give us guidence.
