Great job today again everyone on another effective and successful Friday Intermediate community-building activity. Today's challenge was to think critically about which 4 items your team felt would be most important /necessary if stranded on a (somewhat) deserted island. We saw a variety of different selections, from
matchboxes to
tarps, and from
mirrors to
books on edible plants. The best dialogue though, came from the creative and elaborate justifications that groups shared regarding each of their four selections. It is always fun and engaging to "think outside the box"!
As we perform theses activities, please remember that our purpose is to build a more effective sense of community in and between our classes, and within and around the school. Remember to allow and encourage all group members to "have their say", and that differing opinions doesn't necessarily mean wrong opinions.
I was encouraged to see everyone in my class treating each other with respect and debating what to bring to the deserted island. Keep collaborating and learning from each other. Everyone comes with interesting ideas and experiences that are different.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting to listen to other groups choices and explanations, It helps me think differently on using the tools for different reasons.
