This past week, We have started to construct and build our machines and ours is coming along quite well. Everyone in our groups were assigned a certain job or focus area to work on. There are the engineers, the architects, and the storytellers.
I am an architect, and that means that I am responsible for making the final draft and real copy of our machine’s blueprint. But it is expected that we don’t finish it all at once because the engineers are testing every part of our machines and the plans and designs are always changing. 
We have been gathering all the materials we need for our machine, and are now cutting wood, assembling popsicle sticks, testing marbles, trialling simple circuits, and much more. I find that our group is really doing well at making sure that all our simple machines and the whole design can function properly by trail and error testing everything.
I think our group could have better communication skills, like, we take a really long time replying to questions or thoughts that we have in our iMessage group chat. We also have to try and work on staying focussed because a lot of our group is distracted by other groups, other group’s machines, and online bidding (?).
Anyways, other than those few things, I’m confident that my Metaphor Machine group is on the right track to finish with a great product!
