Reflection
During this project, I was able to communicate with my group very effectively. We decided to split the work up into three sections to maximize our effectiveness in class with our limited time. I was tasked with researching the Halloween Crabs, Masked Pufferfish, and the Spookfish. While researching these animals, I learned how to better transfer information from the internet onto paper by having a more organized task bar.
