Gates Foundation HQ Management Specialist Post 6

"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus." (Bruce Lee)

Where is the focus of your group? Is everyone doing their job? Are you making sure to direct people when they need directed? You have the hardest job of trying to keep your peers (friends) on track. They may disagree with you and get upset with you, but they will smile and laugh with you when you earn your "A"!

Crunch Time:

It's getting to be crunch time. Remember our goal is to have every piece of the project completed by May 3oth. That is only 8 days away, and don't forget about the field trip, and the band field trip. We're getting close! Remember any issues that come up with your group, post them or get them to me somehow. Keep up the great work!!

Everyone is doing there job well. When some peoples jobs aren't needed, they will help out with some research or help getting started on the poster. I don't really need to make sure there doing there job because there usually always doing it. I usually get them started in the beginning.

Everyones focus in our group is great except Stevie's. Anya and ana are working on the wikki, Nicole and I are working on research, but stevie isn't doing anything! I asked her if she was going to do anything to help and she said no, and when Nicole asked her if she would switch seats with her so that i could help her with he powerpoint she said no. After nicole got a chair and pulled it over she moved. Stevies just drawing in her note book and talking.

I didn't really understand the quote today. My group i think is very focused. Today we went through our rubric and say the things we needed. Then we got on the computers and researched things for our power point. On Friday last week we finished all the questions, and in our power point we have a slide for every question. We're going to start our power point tomorrow in class. I myself will not be here on Friday, due to the Knobles trip, so Jillian or Emily is going to do the blog for me. I haven't had to direct anyone in our project, we're doing our jobs. I've told Jacob it couple of times to stop doing w/e he is doing b/c he wasn't working one of the days, and he got a little attitude, but in the end he did listen to me and the rest of my group and we were back on track! cya tomorrow in class!

The quote means that anyone can do great, as long as they're focused on what they're doing. Our focus is on getting a good grade and having fun. I'm doing a pretty good job telling people what to do, put i'm not pushing too hard. We're doing great.

The focus in my group is on the poster and the wiki. Everyone in my group is doing their job, too. I make sure that they all have something to do, relating to he project, at all times. Since it was only Danielle and I today, we had to do a lot of work to make up for the missing students and we also have to accomplish the jobs that we usually have to do. Today, Danielle worked on the wiki, while I put the finishing touches on our poster and then helped her find pictures for the wiki. So far, we have had no problems and we hope that we won't in the future, either.

Our focus is all on this project and everyone is doing their job. Today we researched more on our questions and Sanielle worked on the wiki. We also made some changes to our choice of project. We swiched it to a poster because no one was going to be here over the weekend.

The focus of our group is to get the research done so we can start writing the script for the video. All the group members are doing their jobs with no need to be directed. Today we did a lot of research for the questions.

I feel like I have to keep giving the group directions with their own job. I also feel like I end up with all of the work. But we did manage to work on the wiki. I'm hoping that we'll start on the presentation part of it very soon, only if we can get the research done.
