How were your leaders helpful?
What was the most challenging issue for you during this activity?
What did you learn about yourself and your classmates?
Sorry no video I'm working on it.
We choose the leader's because they were willing to help the people throught the activity. They were making sure the people were listening and following directions. That people were getting step on to. That we need to stick to together and work as a team and not goofy off either. We did a nice job over all.

I think we chose the leaders that we had because so far in our class experience those three people were some of the key people who have been directing our class. But I also think when choosing it was very sudden. It was spoken at once..and people didn't have the chance if they wanted to really choose a leader. Patrick asked..however, in the middle of class I don't think anyone would respond to that question.
ReplyDeleteHowever, our leaders did a great job. They were encouraging the whole time..and when the class needed to be assured of where they were and needed assistance they helped and made systems for the class. For me, this activity was challenging ..in that definitely my personal space was hindered greatly. I was not comfortable with the pushing and shoving so much. From this activity, I learned that our class is getting a lot closer. Though there are students of so many personalities in our class.. when we come together and are open to one another we can have fun, build teamwork, and communicate with each other. :)
oops. The one above is ..

Those leaders were chosen because they're loud, know how to direct, and people like that. The key issue with this was that everyone was in need of reassurance where they were. We all know the school but it is harder to have trust when you are blindfolded. Another key issue was that the amoeba was loud, and people in the midst of the loud-ness could not hear the directions.I learned that it is challenge for us to really be one, an amoeba._brenda^.^~
ReplyDelete-We chose Pat, Sarah, and Ally as leaders for this activity because so far, through most of the team-building activities we have done, they have stepped up and led the way for the rest of the group.
ReplyDelete-I think the leaders did an overall great job. They made sure that everyone understood what was happening, and what each person needed to do(ex: the stairs, doorways, rope) They directed us each in the right way, and stopped us if we were about to hit someone. Also, each leader gave us ways to make the task easier, like for going through a doorway-grab a partner and be in pairs.
-For me the most challenging part about this activity was to put all your trust into three classmates to lead you in the right direction, an not want to find a way to peak through your blindfold.
-I learned that through the last couple months are class has really changed and progressed. I think we are a lot close, and do trust each other. I think we feel more comfortable with each another, and I think that is very important.

We chose Pat, Sarah< and Aly as leaders because they are loud and have helped out the class in the past as leaders.
ReplyDeleteI think the leaders were really good at being leaders for this activity. They helped everyone get through all the obstacles. They made sure everyone understood what was going on too. They stopped us when needed and made sure no one got hurt.
I think the hardest part for me was trusting we could make it through everything, such as the doorways and stairs.
i have learned that are class has become closer and trust eachother more.

We chose these leaders beacause they are the most involved the the activities. They can lead groups very well as a saw in some of the activities we did in the past. They help me and others by speaking loudly and clear and had good stratagies for when it became difficult for us. I thought it was really hard getting down the stairs and getting on our knees and going under the rope because of how little amount of room we had. I think this activity showed us how to trust one another and trust in the leaders for the activity. I also learned that we can listen to eacher other and what they had to say for ideas too.

well i'd like to say that i'm glad there is no video..i may have cursed a few times (: oopsie. we chose ally because she is loud and decisive, we chose pat because he is inventive, and we chose sarah because she always knows what she's doing. i think the leaders were helpful, except for when they were yelling at us. i didn't like that..i couldn't see and i was squished in between people. they did a good job for the most part though. the most challenging issue would be not knowing where i was, i really didn't like that. i learned that we really can get through stuff together, and i thought we had a pretty good time.

I don't know how to answer this because I wasn't here on Friday! It seems like I missed an important activity :/

I thought we chose the leaders of our group because we they are trustworthy and loud. THey have good communication skills. Its important to trust the people you work with, otherwise it makes the task slow, argumentative, and boring. So i thought they didf a pretty good job. They were helpful in guiding us. The most challenging issue was being blinfolded. I did not value my vision enough and took it for granted till i was blindfolded, so that was another positive in the activity. I learned from the classmates and leaders is that we, as a class, should be able to trust each other.

- I think we choose Pat, Sarah and Ally because they are the ones that lead us to do team building activities.
ReplyDelete- The leaders where helpful by directing us which way to go and telling us what we are going trhough. They also told us that we where near a wall and to touch the wall. Its was really helpful for the people that were near the wall and able to touch it.
- The most challeging thing for me during the activity was getting really close to me and getting in to my personal bubble. I was okay with it because i was around people that knew and was okay with. I really hated getting shoved and pushing that was the only problem with me.
- I learned that we have to be really close to each other and have to trust one another. We as a team have to trust every one in class and the leaders.

we choose those leaders because they were the loudest and the ones to most likely to help the class get through it. the helped us get through the challenging parts of the activity and had good advice in how to accomplish the activity. i think the most challenging thing was keeping the blindfold on for that long and when we were walking it was soo slow and we kept just bumping into eachother, creating headaches lol. i learned that we got through this without complaining and that we saw the fun-ness out of the activity.
ReplyDeleteim disappointed you didnt put up the video...
Those three leaders were chosen because the class knew they would make good leaders, but also because they wanted to be leaders. If those people had not wanted to be leaders, they would not have done as good of a job as they did. For the most part they did a really good job. Sometimes they forgot that we couldn't see, so we weren't able to do some of the things they asked of us, but then they would correct themselves quickly. It was challenging to listen and stay quiet during this activity because it was tempting to try to figure out what to do next by talking, but that made it difficult to hear what the leaders were saying. I learned that, when put in a difficult situation, our class was able to work together to overcome the challenge.

I think that everyone chose leaders from previous experiences knowing that were agressive in acheiving our goals and are supportive. I know I wasn't leading the best I could but I think Pat and Sarah did great. I wasn't a part of the AMOEBA so I dont know what the most challenging part of that was but I guess leading the class down and up the stairs was difficult. We were pretty loud the whole time so that is something we could have worked on.
ReplyDelete:) Ally Manade
The way we chose our leaders was that three of our classmates got up and we all agreed they would be the leaders because they know how to reach goals and they are supportive people.They were really helpful because they told us were to go to be careful and not hit things and when we were going through the stairs the leaders were all being really carefull with us and guided us through the whole activity really good.The most challenging thing was having the blind fold on and not peeking because there were times when it was a little scary and we didn't know where we were at. What I learned about my classmates is that we are staring to come together as a group and like we start to trust each other more. I think our leaders did a good job on Friday(: what I learned about myslef is that I can trust my self and not peek and stuff during these kinds of activities. And I also learned that I can trust the people around me and if i cooperate things will turn out good(:

I personally think we chose the leaders we did because they are loud and arbitrary. They know what they need to do to finish something. Our leaders gave us advice on some techniques to get up the stairs, through the doors, etc. During this activity, my most challegning issue was trying to walk at the same pace as everyone else while only relying on the aid of our leaders. I learned that working together means more than just helping each other out; we also have to listen to others in our class to try to figure out what our common goal is.

-I think we chose those leaders because they have been lead us in the past class activities and stepped up.
ReplyDelete-I think three leaders had a great job in this activity. They spoke loudly and clearly so that everyone can hear the directions.
- For me the most challenging part about this activity was to be together with my classmates all the time and following them in the same directions. The stairs was the most scary time to go through!! But the leaders gave us ways to make sure everyone is safe to go.
-From this activity, I learned that we should trust each other and work together to achieve the goals. This activity made us more close!

I believe we chose Sarah, Pat and Ally as leaders because they own a strong personality, leadership skills and are very creative. They were very succesful being learders, because they were very loud, didn't let anyone get hurt and guided us to achieve our goals as a group. The most difficult part of the challenge was to keep my eyes closed and don't give up. From this activity I learned how to trust people I don't know well!
ReplyDeleteMarina Ramos da Silva d:-)
We choosed Sarah, Patrick and Ally as leaders because we know they have good ideas, the 3 of them know how to lead a group, listen to other peoples opinion, be loud when they have to be and most of all they have a strong personality. They were helpfull by telling us when to take a step, looking out for us and basicly not letting us get hurt. The most difficult part of this whole activity was that i coulndt see or peek, i had to follow my leaders and trust on somebody else to be my eyes. I learn about myself that i can actually trust my classmates when it comes to doing activities like this, i also learn that my classmates would do their best for us not to get hurt.

We chose Pat, Sarah and Aly as leaders because they're the loudest in our class and in past activities, they've stepped up to lead the class. They were loud and good at directing us through the doorways and getting us down the stairs. I think the most challenging issue was not being able to see where i was going. Anther challenging issue was being squished with everyone because it made some people almost fall. I learned that I am kind of clausterphobic when Im in tight spaces and I learned that I can trust my classmates to get me out of difficult situations.
ReplyDeleteChristina Greenbaum
I think we let people choose who they thought would be the best at leading, almost like self-nominating. They were very good at motivating people and it helped a lot. One issue I faced was being in the front of the amebia, and trying to go a certain pace but then forgetting others had to keep up too. I had to remind myself it was a group effort. I learned that when doing activites like that, you cannot leave anyone out, because everyone is a part of the final product, good or bad.

We chose our three leaders because they were good at leading the class whenever we did other activities. They really helped us move our amoeba to where we needed to go without hurting ourselves. They gave us good tips when we walked through the doorways and under the rope too. The most challenging thing for me was to trust that I wouldn't run into anything and to trust myself to not peek under my blindfold. I learned that our class can really work as one to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteNicole Janowski
For the activity, we chose pat, ally, and Sarah as our leaders because consistently they have been the ones to step up and take the lead in the past. The leaders were helpful because they led us around, made sure we were safe, and helped the group stay focused and participating. The most challenging issue for me during this activity was trusting that the class wasn't going to crush me. Haha. Since I was in the very back, all the pull if the rope was heavily on me so it was a little challenging to breath sometimes haha but besides that just trusting my instincts and the leaders to help lead me safely around. This activity helped me learn that the class can really cone together (literally and figuratively) and work together. Also, if we allow ourselves we can trust each other. -- Samantha Noga
ReplyDeleteI chose the leaders because I have seen and heard them lead a large group of people before. Those three are exceptional leaders and are qualified to lead the class so to speak.
ReplyDeleteThe leaders were helpful because they described what to do in precise detail. If one leader thought another leader "left something out," they spoke up and improved the situation.
The most challenging issue was to figure out the boundaries of the hallway. Another one was going up/down stairs; I thought everyone was squished during that time. I really like how easily we went through doorways. The amoeba flowed right through them with minimal trouble.
I learned that I have to be more confident in trusting other people or a group. I have to trust the whole amoeba even though I'm a small part of it. I also learned a group is responsible for is actions. A person in the group is still the group.

We chose the leaders we chose because they were vocal.
ReplyDeleteThey were helpful because they were able to comunicate to us clearly.
A challenging thing was that at times, it took a while for us to quiet down when the leaders had to say something.
I learned that though it can be quite hectic, we were able to succeed at doing this without anyone getting hurt. I learned that to do that, we had to break a confort zone and had to get close to people that we may or may not know.

I think we chose those particular leaders because they have voices that can project loudly which was helpful in a lot of activity when we needed direction fast without being able to see them. They also communicate their ideas well and quickly. I think the most challenging issue for us was going up and down the stairs. A lot of people around me were rushing just to get it over with even though the leaders told us to slow it down. I learned that I can be independent and also can be a leader without being a chosen one. As a class, I learned that we can stick together and help each other when necessary.
ReplyDelete-Jessi J
I agreed on those leader because they always have great ideas and actually talk about them instead of keeping it to themselves. They all stand up for their thoughts. They helped me by telling me where I was now and then so I could picture it in my head. The most challenging thing was they didn't say specific names. They just said like "you, go to the right" and I didn't know who they were talking to. That some people get annoyed by other not following directions. I got frustrated when everybody was talking over the leaders because I didn"t know what to do.
