Reflection

We did it!! Well done group! Despite all the arguments on choosing the subject, despite all the days spent brainstorming then when we spoke to Meena she tells us we're on the wrong track, despite all the endless mind boggling reading we had to do, despite all them days organising each others roles, despite Akeela and her car accident (well done), despite not finding a group study room in the library despite one of us had always had to come late and despite the final day when the mouse wasnt working in the presentation WE DID IT!!! and we did it GOOD! Well done group. You all did really well in your parts way better than rehearsals. Towards the last few days it did get stressful especially due to all the other assignments that had to be in during that time. In the last two weeks I kept thinking what we were missing as it felt we had left something out however what we had learnt and when we brought our pieces to the table it did seem to work well. Initially we did seek to do a commonsensical knowledge based presentation but when Meena did the lecture on Multiculturalism talking about liberals and communitarian's we excreted faeces into our lower garments (we shit ourselves) Jaide and Habeeba approached Meena on this issue and then it was decided that we will present multiculturalism using these theories. Whilst brainstorming we came up with the idea of making it humorous and like a panel discussion then we all got on with work on our own parts. Rehersals did seem a mess at times but it was good fun. During the presentation the mouse had a delay which i didn't realise as all the practiceses in the library the mouse was always quick to respond which did startle me but i tried hard to keep my composure, the most worrying part was the humor and thank the ontologically existing God everyone found it funny. I was really impressed with the group as a whole when Meena asked the shocking question after weeks of preparation and 20 nerve racking minutes; "What does all that have to do with multiculturalism?". Yet once again we got the ball rolling and every group member answered the questions and showed that we were a group with group chemistry because quite often in the other presentations there is always the one person who answers, being host i was afraid it would be me! hahahaha. It was well worth doing if I had to do group work again I probably would choose the same group and the class was great support as well as Meena we have to thank Meena for not asking anymore difficult questions as we all know her questions can throw us all off. Well done every one.
