Reflection Kulani And Erin

• switching teachers in the middle of the year made yearbook disorganized and confusing.
• learning new programs to create the yearbook took up a lot of time.
• We spent a lot of time talking about it and less working on the yearbook.
• job tasks were unclear and unorganized, always changed
• work was not shared equally, some worked harder than others
• seems like it was all put together last minute, we rushed to finish it 
• more people should be able to work on something on pic tavo instead of just one person.
• not many people followed through in the pages,was not supported by other members to get it done.
• a lot of people for weeks and weeks would not do anything to help.
