I think what makes creating a schedule so important the success of our project, is obviously to keep the group on track and allow us to visualize the progress of our project. I think that without at least a tentative schedule, it can be easy to put things off that maybe actually need a lot more time to complete. In addition to this, making a schedule with “due dates” that may be earlier than actually needed can allow for us to have time to spend more time on that subject if necessary, or even re-do that thing if it does not turn out the way that we were hoping for the first time.
My group ended up picking the project about the Dreamers/DACA. I think that this one gives us the most creative freedom, and we can take this one in so many different aspects as well as there being many different individual experiences that we can cover. I think this one also will allow us to show a lot of emotion, and broaden people’s knowledge on a really important topic. The only real challenge that I can foresee with this project would be the possibility that people may decide that they do not want to share as much with us as we were anticipating, therefore we would not have enough material for the project.
This week we were all tasked with filling out the PowerPoint for one of the three project ideas that we had. Two of us were assigned to the same idea, and I think the biggest problem with this was communication. None of us really talked about what we were going for with any of the projects, which made it hard to give my contributions, because I was not sure the direction that the other group member was looking to go in.
