Self-Evaluation For Group Work
well~~in our presentation, we do spent a lot of time to disguss how to present our presentation, and how to make it perfect.
In this presentation, i have learnd a lot. I learnd that team work was very important.we could not accomplished the presentation by our own, but by teammates. Although sometimes we had different opinions during the discussion. But finally we had a common consensus.
And i think the most difficult part was to shoot a film. Because it really took a lot of time to produced the film,and memorize the lines.
