Project Review
Our project was called Comida con Causa. This project was about how we researched on food equity in Central and South America. By us doing this we gave ideas on how we can take on food waste and food inequity in our own neighborhoods and how we can help. One way we helped was we worked with produce goods stop help with food waste. Produce goods is a company that is trying to stop food waste here in San Diego. We learned about different cultures and how these cultures have a special dish and we were showed how it was made. By this we were able to we with people from these cultures that had a restaurant here. We also built some planter boxes that we put in a low income community and they will serve as a resource.

This article was useful because it made me understand how chile’s dictatorship started and how the country suffers with inequity of money. I found this article from a college library. What strikes me about the text is that in the beginning it says that Brazil’s military rulers have regularly blamed democracy for the nations ill’s. What I found interesting about this is that Colombia’s guerrilla leader was a priest that was supporting radical programs. Also how the classes suffering the most formed a movement for national liberation in the 60’s by 1968 it was a national force. And they advocated land reforms and socialization of the industry. Also what struck me was that Chile was fastened to one of the most bloodiest dictatorships ever because of all the murders. Also how the military dictatorship determined to punish the working class by extending the working week to 48 hour from 44 hours without extra pay they canceled wage raises promised by Allende and ended distribution to poor districts.
Improvement in work
I feel like i improved my quality of my work during this project because i got lots of help with my work from my teachers because i was communicating them them. Throughout all the drafts i definitely improved the way i write my essays. My first couple of drafts i didn't really like the way i was writing my introduction paragraph so i got critique and and changed my whole intro paragraph and now i feel like i have a strong intro paragraph now. Some helpful critique was transition words to keep my paragraph going and not sound weird. Also something that was helpful was when i write i should focus on writing about the topic and not writing about small unnecessary topics that don't matter. All of these critique pieces were given to me by Matt. I'm glad i got critique by him now my paper is better.
Project Reflection
Something that i was the most proud of this project was getting my planter box finished. Once my group and i completed our planter box together i was relieved. Because this part of the project took a very long time. The way i collaborated effectively was it came to design my planter box i chose the design and when i chose i then went on to recreate my planter box design on the sketch up and i feel like i did well and helped out my group. I have never used sketchup and i feel like i mastered it and sketch up was a new skill that i learned. Some soft skills that i developed was communication. Communication because i was keeping in touch with my group when they needed help. And also with my teachers.
What would I do differently if I was to do this project again?
If I was to do this project again something I would change is a few of things. One i would change is the way I showed myself off. I would show my partners that i will be willing to help,that i’m motivated to do good quality work to make our projected a A+ product. Then i would change the way i work with others i would want to communicate with my partners way more than i did.
