In the past few weeks, I was required to collaborate with three other students to create a 15-minute group presentation for my Portuguese class. This was my first semester taking the language and the whole project was in Portuguese. This artifact is the copy of our group powerpoint, in which we discussed a fictional interview with supermodel, Gisele Bundchen. The project evaluated our speaking and writing skills, as well as abilities to work with others.
Group projects are often challenging, however, I was surprised by the dedication and effort that my other group members provided. Going into the assignment, I was at first daunted by the amount of time we would be speaking in front of the class and the fact that I had to heavily rely on others. But, this turned out to be the best experience I have ever had with a group project and I learned that I enjoy leading and organizing groups, especially when others also put in effort. Looking forward, I anticipate that I will try to lead more projects in the future and hope to continue working with other enthusiastic students.
