Peak Oil Project (Individual Reflection)

 As preparation for our real project that will be coming up soon, we did a mock project on peak oil to allow us to understand the work that we would we dealing with in the real project. Firstly, as a group we allocated roles to research each of the perspectives of peak oil. I felt that we worked together in harmony and was able to complete the task with ease.

Next, Mr James asked us to do a fish bone diagram to summarize all the information we needed, the diagram was neat an tidy and we were able to proceed with our next phase, In our next phase we had to decide how we would convey our message of effects and management of peak oil.There was some conflict here as we could not decide on what we should do, but in the end after much discussion all of us came to a decision to teach the younger years on peak oil. We hen had to come up with segments on how to teach, what to teach and any teaching tools we may have to use.

This phase of the project was tedious, as the group members had to be pushed to do work, most lacked motivation to work and most of the work was unevenly distributed. I felt that I should have found a way to motive team member to work, so that he work that we come up with will not be sloppy or half baked but in the end, we managed to produce work to be proud of.

A week before our lessons, we decided to get other people's opinion on our project and asked 5 teachers on our project, they all gave helpful comments that really improved the performance of our work, I strong suggested that in our real project we should get other people's opinion on it.

Lesson day! We were quite nervous on the day itself but everything as ready there was no turning back. The lessons went well the year 7 throughoutly enjoyed the lessons and ave good feedback on the lessons. This means we had achieved our aim to successfully teach the younger generation on the effects and management of peak oil.

If I had to improve something, it would be group team effort and work distribution as I felt our group did poorly on those areas, Still, I think that our group achieved quite a lot from this mock prject and now we were ready to face the real one.
