Week 1:
During the first week of class we did a fun active that involved the class working as a team. The active was called "Star Wars". Star Wars was not like the movie either, it involved several circles that were different sizes and everyone in the class had to have their feet in the circle at all times until instructed to move to another circle. At first it was really easy to get everyone in the circles then one by one a circle was removed from the group, so it became harder and harder and we got more creative in how to fit everyone in the circles. Then we came down to just one single circle in which the whole class had to fit their feet into...lets just say we fit all of feet into the circle ( I will not give away our secret to it so that you can try it). I really enjoyed this it really showed us that we needed to communicate to get things done and work as a team. Even though we got everyone's feet in, we could have communicated better as a whole. I think we had really good team work overall!
Week 2:
During week 2 our class mostly work on doing our lovely blogs. This had been hard and fun all at the same time. I really can not believe how much I have created in this blog and how cool and somewhat easy it can really be. This has also been kinda addicting too...I have been finding myself at my computer now, which is good and bad at the same time. I really think that doing this type of work online is very creative and eco-smart as well because we are not using any paper at all!! This has really opened my eyes to other ways to be eco-friendly/smart. By the way everyone I love your blogs they are looking really awesome!

I agree with you on the star wars activity. Communication is key, and if people aren't talking then nothing will get done. I think we did well as a team too :) You're blog looks great! Cute frogs!
ReplyDeleteIngrid,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that activity as well. It was fun, and hard at the same time. I never expected to break a sweat in class, but that day proved me wrong lol. But I'm with you all the way when you say we communicated well but could have done better. If we do that activity again, we will dominate =P
Ingrid--I thought the star wars activity was a lot of fun as well. I found it interesting that you found the most important component of the activity to be communication. I guess I found the most important thing to be working together to share our space. It's crazy how something like a little ice breaker activity can make an impact on people in different ways....
ReplyDeleteYour signature "It's not easy being Green -Kermit" is so funny!! You are so creative!! --S
