500 word

With our first English project we learned how to use blogger, and its different applications. Our group goal is to put together a concise and funny comic, while sending a message. This will be a challenge because we are doing a comic, instead of typing a letter like we did in project number one. This will be challenging because when we did the first project we just had to copy and paste our letter from a word document onto blogger, or just type it straight onto blogger. However our groups plan is to draw our comic out on a piece of paper and then scan it. Once we scan it we will use blogger to put the pictures online. We will get the pictures online and organize them in the order of our comic strip. I think this project will get different results from our group because we all discussed and agreed on a topic. Because we have collaborated and agreed on a topic, it will be interesting for everybody, causing students to get more into the project. This interest in our comic topic, causes people to participate more in discussions, and making decisions. Group discussion makes things better because you are getting everyone's feedback and ideas, which will give you more topics and opinions. Also we can give constructive criticism for each other's ideas or things like grammar, spelling, and making sure the story we are creating makes sense. If our story doesn’t flow properly or make sense, people won’t be able to enjoy the humor or message from the comic. Nobody would benefit from a poorly written comic strip, and people would lose interest. Another reason positive feedback is useful is because it can make others feel better about their work. They can get their constructive criticism and work on their draft to improve our comic strip. We want to make the posts as best as possible so the readers of the blog are satisfied with our work. We want them to get the correct message and humor out of our comic. Our group has cooperated very well over the last few days and needs to continue to do so. It’s important we all continue to listen to others and to participate in our group discussions. We need to listen to whoever is discussing and make sure we understand their views and opinions, and listening will allow our group to do that. Whenever you are talking, you want your group to pay attention, so you need to be respectful, return the favor and listen to others when they are talking to you about finally, after we all collaborate and come up with a good topic, we all need to do our job. Everyone in the group will be assigned a specific job in order to create the comic. We have already come up with the ideas for the individual comic boxes. Everybody in the group just needs to do their individual slide, and we will finish the project with ease. We have already worked together to get the hard part down, now all we have to do is the finishing work.
