We studied about human relationships and how individuals can interact with each other. There are many types of relationships and some could be good or bad relationships. We investigated relationships within novels such as 'The Body' written by Stephen King. We came up with words to describe good relationships with someone, whether it is being honest, caring and thoughtful towards them. Then we created a poster to illustrate our ideas. This method would remind us that we must maintain good relationships with someone in order to become happy and successful in life, without good human interactions, we would be no where. This project allowed us to reflect on our behaviors and interactions with our peers. It reminded us that we must be nice and be kind to our friends. It was a wonderful assignment because we could use the things we learned to apply to the project such as, listening to your friend's opinions when creating the poster and accepting group decisions that we made.
