Since I was restricted from speaking, I felt that I couldn't contribute too much in the communication area, but I trusted my classmates that they would come up with a safe and effective way to get everyone across the electric fence. I didn't have a say in which method was used to cross, but I wasn't worried about it because I knew that I could count on my classmates to communicate amungst themselves and use the best idea.
During this activity, I did not contribute as much as I wanted to. I feel like I was not able to communicate my feelings toward the class. I was uncomfortable stepping on others' back to get over to the other side. I think this is more of my fault because I never took bold actions to express how I felt, so next time I am hoping I can be able to tell the class what I am and am not comfortable with. Even though I was uncomfortable, I trusted that the people around me will help me reach the other side SAFELY. There were always people around me willing to stabilize me when I was loosing my balance while trying to get over to the other side of the fence. Generally, I feel like I can trust my classmates with activities like the "electric fence".
In this activity, I feel that we got our communication to the next level by involving many ideas to come up with what we had. Though, as we've been reading on this an in class, many people felt uncomfortable with the method we all used. If we could've had more communication, then maybe there might've been an idea around that situation. Besides that, I feel we had great trust thoughout the activity. No one got hurt while crossing, which was great. -Maggie Lundholm
In terms of communication, I was able to contribute by helping others understand what we were doing. When people didn't know what the plan was, I told them what was going to happen, and I think others were doing the same thing. This made sure that our class was together and everyone followed what was going on. When it came to trust, I felt that the whole class did a great job. Of course, there were times when people felt that the activity wasn't entirely safe, but people stepped up and contributed ideas on how to make it safer. For example, some people helped support/spot the crossers from both sides. Also, someone came up with the idea of having an extra "step" so that it would be safer and easier to climb on the guys' backs. I thought that our class was able to really trust each other with our safety.
During the electric fence activity I communicated by talking out the ideas brought up and how they may or may not work. Watching the video back, I think I could've helped people get more involved in sharing ideas and being more apart of the group activity. Trusting one another was key in having a successful outcome, and I think that the majority of us showed that we can trust eachother to get us to the other side safely. Not only that, but trusting eachother to know that if we mess up and touch the rope that someone will step up and say we have to start all over(that's tied in with trust and communication) and by starting over a few times, we showed that we can accomplish that. -Kelsey Clay
I contributed by making known some of the ideas we had, and we did try them out, even if we decided not to stick with them in order to be more safe. I think that we could have included more people in the process of choosing an idea of how to get over the rope. Watching the video some people were just sitting off to the side, probably because they felt they didn't think they could make any helpful contributions at all. I think we need to change that and let them know that all ideas are welcome, and could possibly help us. I believe that I did trust the people kneeling on the ground, and I trusted that the ideas that were given to get over the rope were good and safe ones. Through my trust in the people who were kneeling to get over, my trust in them hopefully assured other people that they could also trust them to safely bring them over to the other side.
I tried to help Erin's idea for it. I tried to give more ideas on the way to do it, and I also just agreed on what we were doing, which is fine. I think many of us did contribute multiple ideas and different thoughts on the ideas. I believe the communication was very good in this activity.
In this activity there wasnt much that i felt i could contribute. I was fine with the idea that we decided on and just went along with it and made sure i went over the rope without touching it like i did the first time. Next time we sould make sure everyone is comfortable with the decision before going for it.
For this activity i didnt really contribute much but i did share some of my ideas with a few classmates, but what i did contribute was a positive attitude, even though how we got over the fence wasnt my idea i still participated in the activity and i felt that whoever came up with this idea did a good job. The communication was good because everyone knew what we were doing and understood how we were going to do this activity, but next time we have to listen to those who arent comfortable with what we are doing. Trust was very important in this activity we had to trust the people kneeling, those helping everyone get over, and ourselves. The people kneeling had to trust everyone that was stepping on them to make sure they stayed safe. Mr. H had to trust that we would admit when someone touched the rope.
I didn't do too much for the group durring this activity. I try not to give too many suggestions, because I have done most of these activities, or activities like them at one time or another. Part of the class is learning for some people to get creative and come up with answers. If a person already knows the answer from a past experience, thats cheating a bit, and no one else learns anything. -Rob Fisk
I felt like i didnt contribute much in this activity or any of the other acitivity, but i still listened to others and their sugestions. I did what people told me to do because i trusted them and i also agreed that it was a good idea. -Yvonne kang
I helped figure out our plan to get over with the group of girls but mostly just got everyone's attention to share our idea. I trusted the people we were stepping on and helping us over. I knew that if they felt they couldn't hold us up they wouldn't have stepped up to help. Our method seemed to be the safest way I could think of completing this activity and I'm glad everyone trusted the system.
During this activity, I contributed to the class by listening and following the method that the class is going for. And I shared my ideas with some classmates. I felt uncomfortable with the method we used because I didn't want to put my weight on someone. Also it was hard for me to go on top of Alex's back. Since we couldn't think of any other method that does not involve putting weight on someone, I didn't say much about it. I think it worked out well.
Mostly I think the most important contribution I made was just having a positive attitude about the things that were brought up. The difficult part of this activity was that there seemed to be no ideal solution, so instead of searching for an easy way, we just had to search for the least hard way.
Even though I, like some other people, was a little nervous for my turn getting over the rope, I trusted that we had enough people stabilizing everyone as they got over. And after doing it the first time, it wasn't so bad. -Michelle Erickson
I contributed to the electric fence activity by listening and following the method we chose to use to go over the fence. I communicated with the group about the worry over going over the boy's backs. Also, we trusted them and the other people that helped us get over the fence. At the end of the activity as a group we discussed if our method was effective. This communication led to us redoing the activity. Since we were able to communicate we were able to do the activity more successfully.
During the activity, I contributed by listening to ideas from other people and going along with their ideas because they seemed to be the best. The way it relates to communication and trust is that for communication, we are able to listen to ideas from other people and try to work with the idea so we can get everyone over to the other side. For trust, we had some people make a sacrifice and lend their backs to the whole concept so that we can get to the other side safely. I think this was very challenging, yet fulfilling. :)
I didn't contribute much during the activity. Instead I listened to everyone else's ideas and followed their instructions on how to get over the "electric fence." Since I didn't have a better method, I trusted that my classmates would pick a solution that would get us to the other side safely.
I contributed to the activity by following the instructions and having positive attitudes through out the whole activity. I think the communication we have was okay, but I do prefer a more specific communication, for example a whole class discussion, which allow us to speak out our ideas to the whole class and we can together select which one is the best fit. Throughout the activity, I trusted my classmates, especially the people who lied down on the mat and who gave their shoulders as a support to others.
i contributed to the activity by being a stepping stone for people to get over and i also helped people get over by guiding their feet over. The communication we had was just okay some people just seemed to be standing around doing their own thing and some seemed to be working. I jist wanted to get the job done as quickly as we can without fail. I trusted people wouldnt crush my back during this activity and i trusted people would listen to the people instructing.
To be honest I tried to take a part in this, but I felt as if I was being block or ingnored in a sense. I had a very good idea but we messed up ONE time it was over. But, we tried the other idea, messed up tons of time but yet kept on trying that one idea over and over. But, I trust some of my classmates and I am working hard to trust more and more. And all in all I had fun and learned new things. I was kind of unconfortable stepping on peoples backs. -bev hope
i couldnt speak during this activity so i didnt really contribute anyhitng to the activity. but i thought they were deffinately gunna find a way to get over it without my help.
I tried contributing by suggesting ideas of getting over that I thought would work. When they didn't i contributed by listening to others ideas and trying to help people over. I also tried rotating out the bases but they help firm to their part. I really tried to contribute the aspect of safe by thinking about what logically would be safest and easiest.
I posted my comment before reading everyone elses and after reading bevs I'd like to comment again. I think as a whole our class can try to listen to everyone. maybe on the next game-thing we can sit in a circle and discuss as opposed to just being in blobs while discussing leaving out over half the class and sticking hard to one idea even though it did work out in the end.
It was hard for me to contribute because I couldn't speak, but I think others took the lead and accomplished the goal well. The only thing I noticed about the way each of us communicated was that we were just each in our own groups.

I didn't have any ideas for completing the task, but I listened to other people's ideas and I was fine with the idea that we should get over the fence by stepping on people's backs.

I also trusted the people supporting me at the fence who made sure I wouldn't touch the fence. I was a bit skeptical when people came up with the idea of jumping over the rope in pairs, but after seeing some people do it successfully several times, I knew they would be safe.
I feel that i talked about the ideas and how risky they were during this activity. As a whole we need to listen to everybodys ideas but also people need to speak up.
