My Rope Reflection

What I learned from this activity........

I learned we have to listen and communicate. We have to ask ourselves what is the objective and what background knowledge can we use to help make our objective successful. We had to build trust and I actually asked myself, "Did we give each other the opportunity to voice our opinion to figure out how we were going to fulfill task and our leader's expectation?"

I felt frustrated after 10 minutes when we still were in doubt of having all the angles formed. Our outside help was not given the opportunity to share the vision of becoming successful in our outcome. We did not let him guide and scaffold us in our task. Oops! Big mistake because our overall outcome of forming the square was not successful.

What actions or decisions will I use when I return to the new school year?

I will definitely make sure I build trust with my coworkers and students. Communication will definitely be an important factor. I will give each student the opportunity to use their voice. I certainly will do my best to scaffold their learning every step of the way. Certainly, set norms and clear focused objectives. Build background and make sure the comprehensible input is understanding. I will definitely use this activity with my students.
