Team Collaboration
First, we brain stormed together about ways to lead a healthy life. Then, we each picked a topic we are believe and feel most strongly about. For an example: one of us loves to exercise so she decided to research about healthy ways to get fit. That is how we got our research done. Then we started to write paragraphs about our topic on a new page on thinkquest. After that, we started focusing on conventions to make sure there are no errors with puncutation, grammar, capitalization, ect. We went over each others work to revise, edit, and make sure all facts are true and percise. Once that was complete, we made drafts for each of the paragraphs we chose to write about. Finally, once all the editing was finished, we typed our paragraphs on a new page.
Team Diversity
Diversity enhanced our website strongly. We all believe in the same things but look at it in a different way. That gives us three points of view. That is really helpful. Some of us look at life in different ways, so we know how to really touch other peoples lives in various manners. We all believe in the same basic religion, but different details. For an example; one of us is Lutheran, one of us is Non-denominational, and the other is Baptist. All of which are Christion. Every person in our team has different every day diets, ways to exercise, and genes. Each of those things affect our health. In our narrative piece, we will include things to do, things not to do, and facts all about ways to lead a healthy life.
