We had our last meeting on the 4th of April, 2010, 1pm at YunXuan's house. There, we we completed several aspects of the group project, including the full 2 hour long presentation, the instructional teaching powerpoint, the actual presentation and the report.
To increase work efficiency, we splitted work and for the 1st 2 hours of the meeting, we did individual work. I was in-charged of the creation and formatting of the powerpoint slides for the powerpoint lesson package, while Stephanie completed the instructional teaching slides and Yunxuan did the report. We went through the slides and selected the area which we thought was interesting, to be used for the 10-minutes presentation. It was then decided that I was to be responsible for the creation of the presentation slides. (10-minutes presentation). In addition, I had to complete and polish-up the report (lesson idea summary). The meeting ended at around 6pm.
We had a minor-meeting on the 8th of April, 2010 in school, and that lasted for around 30 minutes. We rehearsed the parts for the presentation and Yunxuan took charged of the English portions and Stephanie took the chinese presentation. It was decided that I need not present the slides since I was heavily involved in the editing and the background work. They then had to go back home and be responsible for the preparation of scripts for the presentation.
In my opinion, the presentation and the whole collaboration was a huge success. Despite the differences we had in the beginning, we managed to sort them out and I had a great time working with them.

After our first meeting on 20th march, we had another 2 meetings after that.
...
The 2nd meeting was on 27th march at my house again. We eventually decide to focus on the topic of "responsibility" as a whole and to choose out on 5 specific actions that shows respnsibility. We also modified our acticities and eventually decide on using podcast. We took a long time to finally decide on the activities and to start on our content. After which,we started on the actual powerpoint slides which we will use in our chinese CME lesson. We managed to complete the powerpoint slides and also our podcast recording. I was doing most of the content for the ppt with peisin while stephanie came up with the script for our sample podcast. After which, stephanie and peisin did the recording. In total, we spend around 8hours meeting at my house to do up most of the things. What is left is our lesson idea summary which we decide to do on our next meeting and also the formatting and design for our powerpoint slides.
...
Our next meeting was during on Monday,29th March during the 5hours break we have between our lesson. We worked on the lesson idea summary with the use of of the template that was given and managed to complete the lesson idea summary. We will be putting it down in regular paragraph format report in our next meeting. We are also left with our last and final powerpoint slides to the class which will be a reduced version of our larger ppt. We have yet to choose the best 10mins which we want to present to the class,so we will do so when we meet up.
...
The next meeting is decided on this Sunday,4th April. We will be completing the formatting of the powerpoint slides. We will be dividing the work up where maybe 2 of us will do the report for the lesson idea and one to work on the formatting of the powerpoint. We hope that by our next meeting on Sunday we will have done up most of the work.
