The act of reflecting allows us to pull out the big takeaways that we'd like to remember from this project to make recalling them easier.
What are some of the most interesting discoveries you've made working on this project?
I discovered many interesting things ranging from sea serpent witness accounts and photographs/videos which really add a layer a mystery behind it. I also concluded that I really enjoy solving mysteries/puzzles/problems and I want to pursue a career down a path which I get a lot of exposure to those.
What extra resources would be helpful for this project in the future?
I feel the way I approached this project was fairly sound. I started with the mythologies behind the serpents then found other stories relating to similar creatures. Then to wrap it up, I decided which real-life sea creatures could fit the bill and expressed my theories on the topic. In the future I may look at other sources such as YouTube.
š¹ What did you enjoy most about this project? š„ What didn't go well in this project? š± What will you do differently next time?
I enjoyed the suspense and mystery surrounding the project.
Slight bit of poor planning which led us to have to work extra on the days closest to the end of the cycle.
Write out a more detailed planner, as well as get my group more on the same page the whole time.
