The Julius Caesar project was an eye-opening learning experience for me. I was responsible for several parts, including designing the website, commercial, the “Letters to Portia” box, and writing my designated parts of the speech and the petition. I took the lead on the website, which was my favorite part of the project. It allowed me to be completely creative with my work and add different elements, all while learning new techniques. I am most proud of the website because I added my own personal flair to it and made it appear professional. Although I gained valuable insight about campaigning, I discovered that I prefer working alone than with a group. Throughout the project, I became frustrated with certain members of my group. I felt as …show more content…
Since I recently ran for sophomore class president, I was able to apply the methods that I have learned to the project. This aided my success in engineering an effective website, speech, and petition. The least enjoyable part of this project was depending on my other group members to complete their tasks. At times, I found myself completely revising the sections of their work because they did not meet my vision for the project. I overcame these challenges by assigning my group members roles to complete, such as bringing in baked goods or completing social media pages. Despite this being a fun and insightful project, I would make a few minor recommendations.

I would also prefer the option of working alone, but having fewer requirements than a group consisting of five people would. I recommend these slight changes because I understand that it is challenging to work with a group of people that you cannot trust to do their part …show more content…
Our work was completely original, especially the slogan that we created, “Win the race with Portia”. This slogan was derived from the fact that Portia sounds like Porsche, which is a sports car brand. Although we excelled in this category, I feel as though my group and I could have been stronger in the collaboration category. Although all of the group members completed their assigned tasks, some of the work produced was not adequate for the presentation and required revision. I would give myself an A on this assignment because I worked hard on it, not only in class but at home too. I took the lead on assigning roles and taking on multiple tasks to ensure that all of the work was completed properly. I would give Ani an A as well, because she completely filled her objectives, especially with the speech. Although we wrote it together, Ani spent a lot of time perfecting it and ensuring that it was four minutes long. She was also a key component in creating the posters and the slogan. I would give Tabitha a B because she completed her tasks, although some of her work had grammatical errors. Tabitha was responsible for writing parts of the petition, creating the Pinterest page, and baking the brownies and cookies. At the beginning of the project, I was frustrated with her because she would not work on the project in class, but she redeemed herself by bringing in the treats. I appreciated that Tabitha took
