While planning all this work we had to take a lot of decisions to be organized such as dividing the work so that we can finish and then se check the information together to see that all was good.

egarcia539 — 2025-09-23 14:50:57 UTC

I do really well my part in the project because the information that I put was really good and it was really cool and organized. The most difficult part was that since we talked about the amazonian rainforest sometimes information was of the amazonian rainforest of other parts of the world and not of Ecuador, so we have to research a lot.

Analyze: What problems or difficulties did you face during the project? And explain: What changes did you make to continue?

egarcia539 — 2025-09-23 14:50:57 UTC

Something difficult was the time because it was a lot of information so if we wanted to finish on time we had to take award of time. What we do to solve it is divide the work so like that each member was always working and contributing.

egarcia539 — 2025-09-23 14:50:57 UTC

egarcia539 — 2025-09-23 14:50:57 UTC

I show empathy with one person in my community when I saw that she didn't reach the 90min while talking, so the action that I take to demonstrated it was giving her a part that I talk to help her.

egarcia539 — 2025-09-23 14:50:57 UTC

What I would like to change in future projects will be add more information because sometimes we say something but we didn't explain it and I think that if we had a better explanation we would traped more the attention of people. To myself I set the goal of being a little more pacient because sometimes I wanted to finish faster, but I control myself and keep going forward.
