Summary: 

     The Tundra Biome is the most coldest biomes in the world. This Biome is so cold that it makes it hard for life to live there. This is why in the Tundra there is very little vegetation or life there. If you were to survive in the Tundra, there would be many things to consider, such as: Food, Water, Shelter, Fire, and knowing all the dangers. Besides the cold weather, the Tundra Biome has almost no resources. Although it is abundant with water, it lacks vegetation, which makes it hard to find food or find trees for wood to make fire. It also has many dangerous animals and plants such as polar bears and monkshood. There are also no trees in the Tundra, which reduces your chance of finding shelter and materials.

Backward Looking:

      In what ways have you gotten better at this kind of work? I believe I have improved on researching information on certain topics and text production. I believe that during the project, I gradually started to find reliable information a bit faster. To find reliable information, I would research on one topic, such as 'Dangerous Animals and Plants in the Tundra". I would find one website, write down the information it has on that topic, and find another information with the same information. If the first website I looked up didn't have any matching information, I wouldn't add it. This is how I found information on this project. During this project, I think I got faster at it.

Inward Looking:

     How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work? I feel like the Biome Project was a really fun project to work on. This is because it was satisfying to work on the text product and finish it and learn about the Tundra Biome. The part that I particularly liked was making the text product, mainly because I liked how it looked like at the end and the information it displayed. The part I dislike about this project was the Diorama part. Normally, I would feel happy to work on a Diorama on a project, but I feel like the making of the Diorama didn't go as I thought it would, and I feel like we finished it a bit late(?). Overall, I think I enjoyed most of this project, though.

Outward Looking:

      What grade would you give it? Why? If I were to give a grade on my specific part on the project, I would give myself an A-. This is because I believe I did a really good job contributing to the team and helping them with the project. However, I also believe that I could have done a little better on researching information or doing more work in the Diorama. This is because I believe I could have contributed more into making the figures in the Diorama, since I feel like I didn't my full effort on it. I also think I could have found a little more information on the text-product part.

Forward Looking:

      What would you change if you had a chance to do this piece over again? If I were to do this project again, I would plan out what I was going to do, the deadlines, what I should get started on, etc. This is because I feel like I didn't plan out as much, which made me feel a bit mad or frustrated at times. I would also like to improve on the Diorama part of the project. This is because I believe things could have gone a little better or I could have improved on that part. The things I could have improved on during the diorama was the materials used or the planning.
