Group Activity Report
Group 3
For: Professor Rivers

This week our team, team 3, spent the majority of our time looking over Professor River’s comments on our rough draft in order to craft our final updated draft. Each group member took their particular section, read over the comments, and made the appropriate changes. We had some issues with our text and the flow of our document that we all had to make changes to. We also had to watch the wording and terminology that we used in order to keep the vocabulary the same throughout. Overall we felt that our rough draft was actually a pretty well prepared document that just needed a few minor changes before the final submission. After we made all of the changes we then compiled the different sections back together, and formatted it into our final draft. We communicated very well with one another via gmail in order to get all of our sections corrected. We also spent time citing our sources in MLA format and inserted them into the document as footnotes. We also added a few sentences here and there after reading the entire document aloud to catch in problems with the flow of the text. Overall our entire group worked very well together and was able to divide the work load up in order to complete a very nice final draft. We all took an interest in the subject matter of our white paper and I feel that is what really helped all of us to do a nice job. This week was probably the easiest week for our group because we really did not have too many changes to make to our rough draft, fortunately. We also all started on our evaluation forms and talked as a group about how we felt each team member had contributed to the project.
