Out of each final product I completed for exhibition, I am most proud of my individually done art piece for Shani's class that I centered around homelessness, and was put into the category of poverty. I'm also somewhat proud of the game I programmed, but could have spent more time on it by using a whole different (and better) game concept. The concept I was initially thinking about using was Tetris, but I soon realized that it would require me to learn much more and use a larger amount of time. Also, if I were given more time with my art piece, I would have done it on a larger scale so it turned out more life-sized.

A habit of heart I feel as though I used throughout exhibition was cooperation, mostly because I took into account others' ideas and attempted to follow through with them. An example of this was during the 'Hair Stories' project, when there were so many people in the group that every idea had to be considered, and instructions had to be followed. I realized that I wasn't in a position to disagree with ideas, or even try to direct the group. I offered up the occasional suggesstion, but having so many people in the group can be difficult, especilly when there are so many contradicting ideas. A habit of mind I think I practiced throughout exhibition was connection, especially through the 'Scaling your World' project. In this project, I was able to connect the signifigance between dilation and ratios and the real world (shown below).
Throughout preparation for exhibition, I worked in two different groups: one for the 'Scaling Your World' project and one for the Hair Stories we performed. The project group I worked in for the hair stories was larger, so I basically contributed by editing the script, learning my lines, rehearsing my role, and performing during exhibition. During the 'Scaling Your World' (find tab under math-10th grade) project, I contributed by helping complete calculations and helping construct the final product. As far as the last preparations leading uo to exhibition, I helped by hanging up Hair Story posters and by hanging black tarps in the classroom.
Something I'd like to keep note of for the coming semester's exhibition is that visitors will want to interract with your pieces somehow; it makes the exhibition more two-way. A clear example of this is the piece we had displayed in the front (not my piece), showing the homeless person and the sign with the message, "I want change", shown below. The visitors were allowed to write something that they wanted to see a difference in on the slips of paper provided, and use a thumbtack to attach it to the piece. Making your final product somehow more interractive overall improves the visitor's experience by letting them contribute to their surroundings.
