After looking back on my Franklin Virtue Project, I have realized that I
have learned a lot. It was a great opportunity to learn essential
communication skills that are necessary in almost every workplace in the world.
I had to learn to deal with people who were more unreliable and had to
pull some of their weight. This was very frustrating at times, but in the
end I was pleased with the results of my project. At the beginning of the
project I was not looking forward to working together in a group. But, as
I continued to work and communicate with my team members, I realized it was not
that bad after all. The key to having a good project was good
communication. At first it was awkward emailing people I did not know,
but this also changed to become more comfortable. Practice really does
improve these skills. This project provided great experience for the real
world.
If and when this project is done again, I would suggest using smaller groups.
It was hard to communicate with everyone because it always seemed like
someone did not know what was going on. By making smaller groups, people
from different schools can interact better, and it provides a better
opportunity to get to know those from other schools. Another
improvement that could be made is to tie in more information from your teammate’s
analysis. This would allow groups to interact with each other, and
allow for observation of other people’s writing styles our age. This
could be best achieved, by having one page instead of individual pages. It would turn out like a research paper with
each section as a part of one piece. By
doing this, students would be introduced to different forms of writing, and
unique approaches that they would not normally take. It would also be a form of constructive
criticism that would help everyone. I think this project
provided a great experience for us as students.
