In my group’s video, we include descriptions of the Cell Cycle along with an introduction. In the stop motion part of the video, we showed the different phases of both Mitosis and Meiosis. Overall, my group and I worked well together. I put together part 1 of Meiosis and had help with part 2. As a group, we put together the video completely. What I did well was contributing and collaborating with my group. I do feel that I could’ve done better with voicing my opinion and would’ve changed the way the video looks and use better editing software. However, the most meaningful part of making this project was making all the different phases and bringing the Cell Cycle to life. I enjoyed this part because it helped me learn more because I was able to visualize what happens clearer.

In our PSA we have incorporated statistics, pictures of litter in Philly and news articles and other resources. The reason why we choose this topic was that I knew that littering was a big thing and it is a problem that needs to be solved and drawn attention to. I saw this because littering is a pollutant and that pollutant goes into the environment and that isn’t eco-friendly. The thing that I was very happy about is how easy it was to work with each other and get something complete and finished on the deadline. Another high would be knowing my lines and doing the best of my ability. If we could improve next time I think we should have worked harder on talking about how the city of Philadelphia is affected by littering and what Philadelphia is doing currently on littering. Something that was meaningful was getting along with my group and making a good quality PSA. The thing I hope that our PSA does is to show awareness of littering and make people know what is a good PSA vs a bad PSA. Also to show that littering is bad.

In our video, we talked about the negative effects of oil spills such as killing plants and animals, disturbing ph levels, and polluting air and water. I chose this topic because it was something that I knew the least about and honestly I didn’t know that the effects of oil spills were this harmful. I contributed to this project by writing my part of the script, recording it, and putting the video together with the videos and photos that were shared with me. I think I did well with managing my class time wisely (in the beginning) because mostly everything got done in class and I never really had to work on it outside of class. I guess I could have spent a little more time creating the video and making it more creative. The most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA was being able to get a better understanding of my topic.
