Communication Through a Window

The purpose of this group assignment was to take pictures of objects around Iowa State University campus. This assignment helped both oral communication skills and writing skills. First we had to find objects that looked interesting to us and take pictures of them. Second we had to create a story to go behind each photograph, this helped our communication through writing. Third we had to be able to present our story line to the class by presenting our final project.
Through working in a small group I developed teamworking skills to go along with my communication skills. I learned how to be creative with the photographs that we took; plus I was able to communicate the reasons why we took the photo. I found this meaningful because I have always wanted to know what goes through someone's head when they take a picture. I learned alot about myself and was able to understand more about what attracts my eye.
I really enjoyed this assignment because I was able to socialize with someone else about the work I was doing. It was interesting to have two different opinions on what object we wanted to focus our project on. Teamwork helped create a stronger presentation because we each had an area of communication that we were strong in. Any area that I was weak in my partner made up for and vise versa.
