Reflect on a major project or assignment, either from school or outside of school. Did you create a plan for completing it? How did your plan (or lack of a plan) impact the outcome? write how a 12 year old would.

One time at school, I had to do a big project on the solar system. I didn't really make a plan at first, I just kind of started researching and making a poster without really knowing what I was doing.

But then, as I started running out of time and getting stuck on some parts, I realized I should have made a plan from the beginning. If I had planned out what information I needed to find, and how I was going to present it, I probably would have done a better job and not been so stressed out.

In the end, my project turned out okay, but it definitely could have been better if I had taken the time to create a plan and stick to it. Next time, I'll make sure to plan things out better before diving in.
