Week 5 reflection-Darrence Ng

Facts
We have Idled out what each of the group member has to do,what the resources are and who is to do the video taking,Darrence(ME) and Darryl. Shawn will post the Planing A and B which we did as a group. The Kimono will be rented by Shawn and Darryl but the rental fees will be equally divided amongst ourselves.
Ideas
For the rice eaten by Singaporeans and Japanese,I might cook some of it and bring it to the presentation for the judges to taste the difference.If we cannot rent a kimono,then we just take a picture of it. Darryl might also take a short video of how the modern marriage and traditional marriage of Japanese are difference. While Kelvin will take a short video of Japanese new year celebration
Learning issues
I learnt that a planner is very important so that we will not go astray or end up not knowing what to do next.
Action
We have decided to start on the project right after Chinese New Year

Week 4 Reflection-Darryl

Facts
We have created our 4 guiding questions, which have been posted by our group leader. Also, each of us in our group has been an area to study and research on. Having very little time due to other activities, our group has adopted this technique to improve our the rate of which we will finish the project. Instead of meeting once a week for several hours and completing it together, we do our part at home, then meet up for half an hour each week to combine what we have found out.

Ideas
In our report, we might be inculding the differences between how Japanese and Singaporeans celebrate New Year, and the differences in how they hold weddings.

Learning Issues
Our group has learnt an effective and valuable method of dividing work equally amongst our group members, instead of the usual method people use, which wastes a lot of time.

Action Plan
I have researched the area i was given by our group leader, and our group will combine all we have done.

Week 4 Reflection - Chong Jie

Facts : We have decided on the guiding questions to be used. We had trouble thinking of the questions as there were many requirements to meet for the questions.

Learning Issue : Through this, we have learnt that there are many types of cultures for different countries and researching them are not as easy as it sounds because there are many factors to consider.

Action : I have researched my question as have my group members. We will put together out research and formulate a plan.
