Lego Duck Challenge Reflection

Today I worked through two different challenges in a small group. The first challenge required me to work with my partners to build a duck out of legos in 4 minutes. The second challenge was a brain teaser where we had to solve a bunch of questions within 7 minutes.

 

After The duck Challenge:

What went well for my team regarding teamwork was: We complimented each other when things went well and helped each other to make our ideas even better!

What went well for my team while completing the actual task was:We came up with a really good duck design that I think was unique,awesome,and different from all the other groups designs!

What was challenging for my team in terms of teamwork was:We didnt really listen to each other and give each other a chance to say our ideas and help. Also everyone didnt really feel included in what we were doing.

What I would do differently next time would be: That we each had a few moments to talk and share our ideas ONE AT A TIME! Also I liked what other groups did which was “group roles” so maybe our team could do that so everyone could help and feel included/involved.

 

After the Brain Teaser:

What went well for my team regarding teamwork was: We did better at dividing up who did what and I think it was also easier since there werent as many people on our team since some people left.

What went well for my team while completing the actual task was: We figured out a lot of different answers to the brain teasers!

What was challenging for my team in terms of teamwork was: We all had good ideas, however everyone wasnt really opened to everyone’s ideas and just said “your wrong” instead of saying it in a kinder way and trying to help them. Also it was challenging since one of our team members left so we didnt have as much help.

What I would do differently next time would be: We could all talk kinder to each other and when someone wasnt being kind, we could tell them to please talk kinder and if that doesnt work we could then get a teacher to help us.

 

When working in groups this year, I hope that we are:

-Kind to each other

-Respet each others ideas and opnions

-If someone got something wrong,we can help them instead of being mean to them

-We learn from each other

-We have FUN!
