=//__Marie reflection 1 - Due Oct 9th, 2009 __//= Marie's home page Marie DobsonTuesday, October 20, 2009 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? 2.How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?I am working on my project in school when I have down time. If I could do this month over again I would have gotten started on my plan much sooner so I didnt waste so much time. 3.What kinds of decisions have you found yourself making recently? Have they been good decisions? What are you learning about how you make decisions and what kind of effect these decisions have on your learning?One decision would be who to be my mentor. I had planned on having my old sign language instructor but after trying to get in touch with her unsuccessfully I had my friend go talk to her to find out she no longer works for that school. So instead I will have Ms. Fisher be my instructor. Decisions help my learning because it gives me a lot of control when it's up to me. Also it makes you change your plan to fit the new decisions. 4.What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc? I havent quite learned more about my working style or interests because I'm still in the planning phase of my project. when i start to actually do the physical parts of my project I think it will help me learn much more about myself.
 * Making Great Progress

5.How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?i already answered 6.What new questions do you have now (about yourself, the project, your topic)?After meeting with my advisor it brought up a whole bunch of new ideas. Now after our meeting my plan would be to sit in on a classroom and see if using signlanguage inimizes disruptions. So my questions now are whose class could i sit in on, and when can i start! 7.What did you learn about your topic/subjects that you didn’t know before? What connections among the various things you have studied and researched do you see? Have you had any “aha” moments? What were they and how did they affect you?I haven't started to do a lot of research just yet. I need to research the origins and how it differs. 8.• How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project?After meeting with my advisor, it helped me get a clearer picture on my project. I planned on just using sign language myself in class, and Ms. Knight gave me the idea to see how an entire class can benefit from it.
