Comparison with India
We had a video Congress with people from India from the same age that we’re doing the same project. Both sides could ask question, here is a reflection on how it went
The video conference went well. In the beginning it was a little bit awkward because we were the first, but later on it went well. We started with asking questions, we didn’t get really long answers more answers like yes or no. We think that that was a kind of disappointment because we expected longer answers because that would be easier with the comparisons. When they started with asking questions we gave answer with longer answers and that went well. We all answered the questions. There were differences, for example with the extra activities, because we have like a sports day and a fancy fair but they don’t have any extra activities.

Reflection on project
What went well, want went wrong?
The making of the poster went really well, we all had our own tasks we divided them really well and everyone did their work.
What went wrong, some of our group members didn’t stick to the deadline, which was a little annoying because we had to finish everything on time. And one of our group member was sick for almost 2 weeks which was a little sad because we had to do it with less people, and they couldn’t give their opinion. We also couldn’t communicate well the first 2 weeks but after those 2 weeks it went better and better, also some people didn’t want to change their work, which was a little problem because then the weebly would look different, but that is fixed as well
Our conclusion is that in the end everything went well but next time we have to stick better to the deadlines and communicate better.
