  8. Group participation paragraph We all did an equal share of work. Jasmyn set up google docs and showed us all how to do it. That night we all had our own homework which was to come up with 2 facts about him each, then we put it together. When we came to class we just all added stuff on because we did it off google docs. We weren't really assigned a specific role we pretty much just added to each other's ideas. Like when one of us writes something and ask us to look over it we would basically add on to what they wrote or make it more clear. And because we were doing it on Google docs it was incredibly easy. -
