Project in a nutshell
The goal for this project was to make a policy change for location in our local area and then follow and predict how this change will affect life in the area. To do this we studied climates and ecology to learn how various different changes can affect life in an ecosystem. To do this our jobs were to make a presentation for our class that introduces our location to them and tells them what out plan was. Then we were required to make predictions of how our areas would change for 50, 100, 300 and 1000 years if our plan was implemented and if it wasn't implemented.
For my groups change we requested the implementation of solar panels on the side of a hill near a local reservoir. Our plan was to implement a set of 2500 solar panels in an area slightly larger than a foot ball field. To do this we first researched different kinds of solar panels we then figured out a price for enough solar panels to fill out the desired area. After this we researched the living things in living in the nearby area. With this we checked how the implementation of solar panels could affect them. The final thing we did was do research on future events then with this information and some rhetoric. We made prediction on how our change could affect the area

Reflection
Our project had some ups and downs and I know personally that the people in my group and including myself could improve on their behavior, However there were things we all did as well. For example when we all worked on the project we did a lot of work and nearly completed it in a couple of days. We were also very flex able adding and changing or presentation to fit what was needed. It is best seen with our predictions as we changed and revised those numerous times in order to better fit our guild lines. However as previously stated my group and I had a couple of major issues as well one notable one was how off track I was for part of the time. This something I know I can improve on and plan to on future projects. Another thing I struggled with was controlling my group as a number of my group members just stopped doing work for while only doing it in short burst when the teacher told them to. This is something i need to improve on so when I'm placed in similar situations I can get them to focus on the work and not socializing.
