They are positive. I remember having fun working with my friends to make the project come to fruition.
What did you do for your project?
For our passion project we did an american football sports tournament.
Why did you do it?
We decided to do an american football tournament because we are passionate about the sport and enjoy it.
How did the brainstorming of ideas go?
We think that the brainstorming of ideas went well and everybody’s opinions and ideas were heard and considered.
What was your driving question?
Our driving question was “How do you make a good sports tournament?”
How did your planning correspond to the finished project?
The result of our planning was a successful sports tournament that everybody enjoyed.
How did the planning help you?
Our planning and research helped us by giving us the knowledge we required to run a good sports tournament.
What didn’t you include in your planning?
We did not consider how we were going to present our tournament and as a result do not have any photos of our tournament. We also didn’t include much bibliography.
What will you do differently in your planning next time?
Next time I would seriously consider how I would present my project.
What went well with the creating and implementation?
We were able to well organise the tournament and everybody had a good time.
What didn’t go well for the creating and implementation?
It was hard for us to get a great amount of people to come to the tournament because it is not common in New Zealand but this also meant that the people who did show up to the event were all interested in the sport and tried their best. We also did not think to take pictures.
What did you learn about yourself during this phase?
Greg - I didn’t really learn anything about myself.
What did you learn about working with others during this phase? (Please be respectful here!)
I learnt that is important to involve everyone in your group and listen to everybody’s ideas.
How did you show the HHS school values during the whole process? Please be specific.
We showed commitment by working on our project every wananga period no matter what.
We showed achievement by creating this slideshow to present our project to the class.
We showed respect by helping those of lesser skill levels who needed assistance.
We showed resilience by persevering when times got tough so that we could run our tournament.
I didn’t really learn anything about myself by making our project but I did have a lot of fun doing it with my friends. If I did passion projects again I would do one of the projects that are run by teachers.
These are the critical literacy traits that I used:
