Gyro Scope and Adventure traits your working on
Good work today, let us know what your group went through while doing this activity. Second part that is connected to the peer and self evaluations we did last week. I asked you to look at your evaluations and choose a trait that needs work, what is that trait and what did you do this week that developed or enhanced this trait? (efficacy,trust,reflection,responsiblity,self esteem, modeling, empathy, communication, problem solving,collaboration)

I think we did well durring the activity. Lauren still got wet, so there is room for improvement. As far as the evaluations go, I know that I don't have very good conversation skills. I try to improve this all of the time, but the truth is that I really don't have much to talk about. I know that this trait goes along with communication.

We didn't spill much water using our method, which is pretty good considering how risky it was (Somersaulting backwards across three people). We got everyone involved and managed to somewhat accomplish the goal. I need to work on communication and being more open with people. I tried participating more in some of my other classes.

The Gyro Scope Activity sounded like a lot of fun. I was not apart of it, but it sounded like there needed to be a lot of effort and hard work for the activity to be completed successfully. One trait I think I need to work on is opening up about my life more and really connecting with my group members.I think it would be awesome to have a real strong bond with my group because, I think, strong bonds create a genuine group.

ReplyDeleteFor the first part, our group went through just making our choices of what was the right way without hurting anyone. It was difficult to assign roles, but after, we were set. Even though our method was by chance at times, it worked efficiently in the end. What Im working on is being more open to talking my feelings and such. I guess I can still work on that more. Other than taht, can't wait for new challenges.

I thought our group did really well with the challenge. The hardest part was actually coming up with a plan that actually worked. Once we had a plan everything was easy from there. We were able to complete the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe trait that I need to work on is trust. For this challenge I was able to trust in my group and know that no one would get hurt. But I still didn't want to be the person you had to do the flip. I knew nothing would happen to me but I didn't feel comfortable putting myself in the position to let something happen.
The hardest part for my group was thinking of a solution that would work. We tried, but Lauren still got wet. If we did the activity again, we would need a different solution. As far as reflection, I need to be confident in my abilities even when I'm scared, like for jumping or climbing blindfolded. Overall, i think our group does really well with trust and communication.

Our group did a good job with this activity. We started think of ideas right away so we could figure out what worked and what didn't. Once we found our method, it went really good. I trust my group a lot so I wasn't afraid of them dropping me or anything. The trait I needed to work on was communication. I agreed with mostly everything my group said so there wasn't a lot for me to say regarding the challenge.

I was absent when the class did this activity but from what other people said, it seemed very fun! The trait that I'm working on is trust. I mean, I trust my group members but when I'm high above the ground, I get nervous. I'm also trying to take more risks in climbing and be more adventurous.

Our group was successful with this activity. We even got a chance to try our method with the coffee can with water and it was also a success. With this challenge I was able to see how much trust everyone in the group had. We were all able to pitch an idea. We tried a few different methods but in the end only one worked. Everyone in my group did a good job in making sure their feelings about the method were heard and they did a good job making sure we all stayed safe. I was absent for the second day of evaluations but for this challenge I was really able to work on self-esteem because with this challenge I was one of the people kneeing on the ground that allie flipped over on and in order to play that role I had to be confident so that she wouldn't get hurt. This also helped me take on a new role of responsibility.

My group had really good communication skills. We listened to each other and tried each other's ideas to see which one would make us successful. I think some people didn't trust others when they had to flip but after trying for a while, they began to trust their group. The trait I had to work on was self-esteem. I need to have more self confidence in myself so that I can climb all the way to the top. I keep thinking that I can't make it and I feel like that's stopping me.

Our group did fantastic. We communicated well throughout the whole activity. At times it was honestly very painful ( Aha) but we were able to get through the activity quite well by listening to each other and our hearts. What I worked on a bit was problem solving. I tried at times to come up with some ideas that would help with getting through it better. It did work out at the end. :)

Our group did pretty well during the activity even though we kind of cheated in the end by not using all of our group members. We considered everybody's ideas and tried a few different techniques. The traits I need to work on are communication and empathy. I tried to communicate more with my group by sharing my ideas and giving my opinion about other people's ideas. I find it difficult to be empathetic with just about anyone, and I know it's something I need to improve.

It was really hard and i thought it was really weird how we were going to do it without spelling the water. But, i think my group was really clever and it was finny how we thought of things and they kind of worked. which was really good anyways. My trait that i think i need to work on is i think my self esteem. I want to be more sure of myself in the things we do in that class and outside the class.

My group kind of struggled with this activity because we had so many ideas, and we didn't focus on one of them enough to practice to see if it would totally work. In the end, we seemed to pull it together and just wing it! haha. we didn't spill that much so it wasn't a total failure(:
ReplyDeleteThe area I need to work on is trust, not just in my group but in general. It's not something I can improve on in a weeks time, but it's something that I can work on.
Kelseeeeeeee.
This activity was fun and challenging and different, I really enjoyed it. I felt that my group did a good job listening to everyone ideas and thinking the whole process through. While doing this activity I tried to work on trust; everyone on the group had to trust one another to not spill the water everywhere.

This activity was fun but also very challenging because it is difficult to multi-task. I like how my group get together and try to figure out ways to do it. About the evaluation, I think it's a good idea because now I know what is my weak part and from now on I can do more on that.

During this activity, my group had a hard time agreeing on a way to do this challenge. The trait I needed to work on is communication. I was challenged during this activity to communicate well with the group and that everyone's ideas were heard.
