Project 2 reflection

The soccer tournament went better than we had hoped it would go. We only had enough students that showed up to make on team of 10 but we also had a number of teachers that participated in the game as well. For example Mr. Holly, Mr. Phillips and Ms. Durrant. I fell that this was a better thing top have happen than the original game because this offered the students a chance to compete with some of the people that they were getting homework from throughout the year. Something that we could have changed about this project is the fact that we did not have enough student which is something that I feel we could have combated by coming up with team rosters. Those rosters would not only consist of player names but it would also have contact information such as email addresses and telephone numbers.

For my last help project i attempted to help Dre with his teacher vs student basketball game. I helped him make signs that promoted the event. But i was also supposed to help him by playing in the game so it ran as smooth as possible. But because of the graduation ceremony that was going on in the gym last night we couldn't play in the gym. But we are rescheduling the game for next week.

help project 1

My first help project was helping Gabby and Olivia with their project. I helped them paint new lines for the basketball court that is located outside of our school. I helped with the drawing of the chalk lines and I also painted over the chalk lines with white paint and I helped them get paint. I also accidently spilled one of the cans of paint and they had to innovate and come up with a way to make it look attractable. So they came up with the hotspot. It was a challenge for me because I have never had to paint the outlines for an out-door court ever before.

Milestone dates

For this project we did not really have any milestone dates because what we did was make one poster advertising the event that we wanted to hold. Then went and told the people who we knew actively played soccer and got them to be the team captains for the 4-5 teams that we wanted to be signed up for the competition. The good thing about that was it took out the part in where we had to go out and contact the people that wanted to participate in the activity if they wasnted they play they had to organize their time with their team captain. That way we did not have to go and postpone the event from its original due date.

For my next project I propose to make a soccer tournament with my co-leader. We hope that there will be a lot of students that will show up because of the advantage that they are able to take. Because we are a school that does not offer PE in our curriculum. And because that is a state requirement we think that this is a good opportunity for many students. As a final project we envision it as there being multiple teams and that we split the two teams up according to goalposts. That way we are able to manage two games at one time. After that we will have a two game elimanation process going so that we can have the people who want to play play for the maximum amount of time.

Reflection

The basketball tournament did not go according to plan as I had thought it would. The posters that were put up to inform people to participate did not hook in as much people as I thought it would have. But to me I felt the objective that we were trying to meet was obtained. The goal that we wanted to make was that everyone who played would enjoy themselves and not regret switching out of their clubs to play for a day. We wanted everyone that came to actually have fun playing.

The original proposal called for everyone becoming a part of a team depending on the grade that they were in. But the day of the game we had 13 people show up. So we had two teams of five and then had three substitutes that came in when the two team captains wanted them to join the game. All in all I believe that this was a success because of the chance for everyone to get into the game and the fun atmosphere the game was set in. Neither of the teams had a a real intention on winning for destroying the other team it was just a friendly game.
