Group Reflection (Discuss and answer these questions as a group)

 

How did your procedure today change from what you had planned?

We didn’t get to put the organs in the canopic jars. We had to throw them away. We ended up using a lot more rubbing alcohol than we expected.

 

Using the senses of sight, touch and smell, describe today’s experience.

Sight: The blood was disturbing but other than that we were fine.

Touch: It is really disgusting to put my hand in the chicken’s butt. We also had to put our hands into the lungs.

Smell: Horrible! As soon as we put on the rubbing alcohol we could barely breathe.

How did group roles support and/or challenge your group?

It was hard for the procedure police to be actively participating while while typing the whole procedure.
