MAIN BODY
Reflection
The presentation in week 21 was the on the Queen Victoria which was a group project of
3-4 students. In order to reflect the team work during the presentation development and

intentions and spirit for the completion of project successfully (Pfutzenreuter, E.P.D. and Frega,
2020).
Storming: the second stage in which I examined that the grace and excitement in starting days of
the group formed has faded and everyone in team including me showing temper, ego,
disagreeableness and much more all resulting into conflicts. During the discussion on the layout
of the presentation there was huge contradictions between the group members regarding that
(Vesa, 2020).
Norming stage: the stage at which the conflicts and heated environment between the group
tends to settle down. As everyone of us gained the zeal to groove back into working in order to
prepare the best presentation in class.
Performing stage: a stage at which team hit its stride and working in cohesive and supportive
manner with each other and also issue were addressed politely to be resolved easily making easy
