I think that our group worked pretty well for DLAE. We all got along well and there was very little conflict about who got what part. For the ibook there has been a little bit of problems because of my computer wasn't really working then when I got home it wasn't working when I was trying to work so things are going to be a little tight. I think that LF has been doing a lot of work and that she is the one who has been working the hardest out of most of us. We all have done a lot of stuff but LF has done the most. We all work well together and as much as we laugh and have fun we stay on task. I think that the DLAE project helped me work hard and even though not everything is done I learned how to do more things. I wish I had learned more about of what people did throughout the day in ancient Egypt. I think that our group has worked very very well together. I think that most of part everyone did their fair share but I think that LF has done the most and I wish that I had done more. If we could re-do the project I think that I would have gotten things done sooner and made sure that they were good and made sure that I knew how to do things instead of taking most of my time to figure out how to do them and still not understand. I think that we could have done better on our project, I think that I could have done a lot better and made sure that things got done faster. For the most part I think that we could have done better but some people did really really well.

When I work in groups I mostly am the one who is making sure everyone is on task because normally I am in a groups with boys so I am used to doing most of the work. I never mind because it soothes me and makes me feel comfortable knowing that things are going my way. This year is very different though, because almost every girl has also had the position that I  used to have so then everyone wants to be the one doing the work and making sure that everything is going my way and that everything is going smoothly. So this year it is kind of different for me to not to be doing anything and just letting other people do the work. I sometimes like to work with my friends. The pros of that is that when you are with your friends they don't really get on your nerves as easily and normally you are having fun and you all work together and if you like need to do it at home it won't be as awkward when you are at someone else's house. The only problem with that is almost most of my friends take the leader role as well and it just gets complicated because then everyone has different ideas and everyone wants to be in charge and then sometimes people get really upset over it and it turns into this big scene. When there is a problem in a group and it I am in the group but not apart of the problem I am normally the one trying to solve it. A couple things that do work are you can tell them that everyone gets to help out and no one should be bossing people around. When I am in the problem I am not a happy camper. I don't like when people come up to me and ask why I am mad at a person. The worst thing about me being in the group and apart of the problem is that I just kind of give up and say that I don't care and I separate myself from the group and just go with what I am given. When someone else is putting other people down and not listening to what I have to say or what anyone has to say I am normally the one that speaks up. I say that they are not the boss of everyone and that everyone should have a chance to say something and put ideas into what we are doing. The pst difficult situation that has happened in a group before was when I was took the leadership role and then someone who was absent for a week was also in the group then when they came back they were trying to be in charge even though they didn't know what was going on. The teacher even said that I was the one in charge and that they could help but since they weren't there it wasn't there place. But they kept on trying. The best group was when everyone let me do all the work and they didn't care what I made them say.

If I was being threatened that I had to buy everyone in the class cream puffs and that if I didn't I would die then I would probably tell a parent or a teacher. I don't believe that someone would kill me or hurt me really badly. I would

1. Tell a parent or teacher and have them at least give me advice. The bad thing about that it then your parents get involved and they get super protective over you and then sometimes people end up losing friends and it turns into this big crazy scene and no one really wants that. On the other hand your parents can deal with it and it won't ever happen again because that kid will have learned their lesson and their parents will probably keep a closer eye on them.

 2. Tell them to stop and say you won't kill me and if you hurt me then you will be in really big trouble. The good thing is they will probably feel intimidated and will back off a little but now they will probably try and ruin your life because you just made the teacher parent threat.

 3. I would just ignore them and not do anything about it because the person can't make me do anything. The bad thing about this is they could probably pick on you more but they could get annoyed with you and just leave you alone.

4. I would make a deal with them. The good thing about this is that they are still getting something out of it, but the rest of the people who may be involved are not.

 5. I would only bring a cream puff for me and eat it in front of the class. There are many cons to this one because you are rubbing it in there faces and then the person and everyone else would get really mad and they could all single you out. You could also feel good about yourself and stickup  for you instead of listening to them.

 The last one, number five is more realistic for me because I don't exactly do the right thing in some circumstances. If you are actually really scared and nervous then you should tell a parent but because I don't really mind not coin anything about I wouldn't do that.
