What did you do for your project? The project I chose to do was to create a good sports tournament.

Why did you do it? I chose this project because I was curious about how tournaments like the Nba and Nfl are so successful.

Who did you do with? The people who accompanied me were Greg, Meela, and Dylan.

What didn’t you include in your planning? I believe our planning could have had more bibliography on the sites we used for research.

How did you show the HHS school values during the whole process? Please be specific. The value commitment was shown by trying to finish and get more numbers when the tournament was a little low. The value achievement was displayed when we finished creating our project, this was shown by us celebrating because the workload and stress would be lessened. Respect was shown when we were all collaborating and talking about creating a sports tournament. Finally Resilience, we all displayed this when we came across the problem of when we should do the tournament, we all pushed through and found out that most students would be better off doing it at morning tea and lunch.
