Summary: This project is called the Charity Fair. This is a project where we have to come up with a product to sell at the Charity Fair which this year has happened from 5:00 to 6:00 on 12/16/15. This year I learned is that the teachers more flexible this year than last year because this year they allowed us to make the price of our product anywhere in between $0.25 to $5.00. Last year they made us make the price of each product $1.00 only! This was very frustrating for some people because with some of the products people made were worth way more than a dollar. And some products were too easy to make to be a dollar. And this year they made it more challenging for us because this year we had to present about our charity and make a trifold poster with all the work we had done.
Have you done a similar kind of work in the past (earlier in the year or in a previous grade; in school or out of school)?
Yes I have done something similar like this last year. Last year we did a charity fair as well but they changed it this year. Last year we could only sell our products for a dollar but this year they let us sell our products from $0.25 to $5.00. And last year we didn't have to make a trifold poster about our charity we were donating to we just told the class about it. But this year they made us make a trifold poster about our charity and our work that we did.
How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work?
I felt that our work was amazing especially on our trifold poster. Even one of my team members says if someone stole or damaged our poster he was going to be furious. My most favorite part was selling the origami and Rice Krispie treats because we could talk with adults, handle money, go around for a 10 minute break to go around and look at other people's products. I really disliked the math for it the most because it was hard for my team. The best part about the trifold poster was taking the picture of a Rice Krispie treat that we were going to sell.
What grade would you give it? Why?
I would give the project an A-. I would give it this because we worked so hard for it. We worked really hard on the math for the carbon footprint and our cost and profit. But we worked harder for our trifold poster because we had to make our product and take a picture of each of them. So this is why I would give our project a A-.
What would you change if you had a chance to do this piece over again?
I would like to change our product next time we do this. I would like to change this because we only made 16 dollars while some other groups made way more than us. And for about the first 20 minutes or so we stood waiting for someone to by something. While other group's products were littering the rooms like the Apple Cider in the fancy cups a group was selling. So this is why I would like to change the product next time we do this.
