Organised means being able to arrange all the upcoming events into specific orders, follow them and be on top of them. Task 6 was exactly one of the assessments that I can have practice and improve on this skill. This task requires me to create a formal script using dramatic techniques and perform a play between ten to fifteen minutes through representing an issue that my teammate and I think is important to us, which was sexism. My group focused on how women are being less respected and how they are being treated unfairly compared to their male colleagues in some male-dominated industries.
Before this assessment, I may not be the best at managing my time because for each task we usually have plenty of time to prepare for, so I won’t get as much of the opportunity to plan when and which assessment I should start first. However, in this task, I was working with quite a small group, three people including me. We basically had to have a completed script within a week.
Unfortunately, this task was assigned in one of my busy weeks. During that week, I had a design assessment due, a science test the next day and a French reading test to study for, so I didn’t really have enough time to work on this English group project. But since this task was not just my own business, I had to give more priority to this one. Previously, I might have put all the effort into the closest upcoming assessment, which was to finalise my design folio, and ignoring the other assessments before finishing it. Whereas this time, I have learnt how to identify and choose which one to begin with by putting into consideration of the weighting, the difficulty, so how long the assessment is going to take me to finish, and then the amount of time until it is due.
