1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.

In today’s lesson i have learnt that everything that you read in the newspaper or in the media is not true and it is up to you to decide whether the information given is factual or fictional. Another thing i learnt was that media can be manipulative to sell their story so that the audience or the public will buy their product.

2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.

One area i would like to concentrate on during this project would be to organise my time management and another would be to make sure that i am always keeping contact with other group members so that i wont let other group members fall behind me.

3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.

One way my group could resolve any disputes is we could all sit at a table and talk together as mature men or we could just take our dispute to the teacher and ask if he could help us resolve our problem.
