How We Are Doing

Since our last post, we have not made a tremendous amount of progress. In our research we have learned the top years of rainfall in California. We have learned that we are not the greatest planners for these types of projects. We think big, but take on more than we can handle and are forced to reevaluate our options. In our last meeting, it hit us that there is not much time remaining for us to work on this progress. Through this setback, we have learned the importance of scheduling out what we are going to do on a day to day basis. As a result, we have looked a calendar of what school days we have left to work on our project and have roughly planned out what our next steps are going to be. Our main end product is still going to be an infographic. After reviewing the amount of time we have left for this project, we decided to focus our time on making a visually appealing and informative infographic, rather than multiple other things. Also, we will continue to gather more data regarding this topic to finish off our project and have as much information to back us up and make the project feel complete. We can apply what we have learned in our daily lives to get into a habit of better managing our time. We have improved our ability of planning a realistic schedule of what work we have to do in a short amount of time. This skill will continuously help us in the future with school work and in life in general.
