Interdependence Draft

Sunday, December 6, 2009
Interdependence is people or objects in a group depending on each other. For our MeneMac core we have a lot of interdependence throughout the students. We have many group projects and everyone has a part. If one person does not do their job the whole group may suffer a bad grade. It is your job in a group to make sure that you do what is assigned to you and it is also your job to make sure that all of your group members are doing their job.

For Media class, we are assigned many group projects. Some group projects are making P.S.A.s or music videos. If one person does not do their job then the video will not be successful and the whole groups grade will suffer. We all depend on each other to get the job done.

For Biology, we have been assigned a group project called ECyberMission. It is a national science project competition that includes 3-4 people in each group. If someone in the group doesn’t do their job then you will not do a very good job and you will not win.

For Modern Hawaiian History, we are assigned small group research projects. An example of this is the “Causes of the Overthrow of the Monarchy” research project. We were put into groups and each group member was responsible for a part of the research. We had to make a PowerPoint about what we researched. If someone in our group did not do their research then the PowerPoint would not be complete. The whole group suffers if one person does not do their job.

For English, we were assigned a project called KC3. It is a group project that includes six people in each group. There are 5 parts to this project, they are: website, survey, interview video, powerpoint/script, and interactivity. The group decides on which members are doing which part. Then we create a timeline, making due dates that the whole group must follow. If someone does not do their job we will not be able to compete and KC3 videoconference competition.

Interdependence plays a really big role in our MeneMac core. We all rely on each other to do what they have to so we can get the job done.
