Article Groups

Article Groups

I had so much fun with every group presentation from first to last. I learn a lot of new things from all of the groups including my own. I really enjoyed writing our own twist to the fairy tales because it was more truthful, and not so perfect like unicorns and rainbows. One of the most important message from changing the story line is we all know that nothing ends up happily ever after and we all understood that. The goal was not to create the perfect ending but to make your own story. The group that had us create a Pinterest taught me how to create my own board and pin things to it. I have a Pinterest already but I only used it to look for DIY ideas and never pinned anything. I like had to relearn technology. The group that made us take the survey was funny. I’ll admit here now that I actually took the survey twice and the second time around I answered “annoying” for all of the questions. I had so much fun playing pictionary as a class activity during the gamer group presentation. It made me think a lot of how I should draw in order for others to be able to interpret it. Just as writing essays when you have to be able to convince your reader to see things the way you do. The last group had a pretty fun activity having us built our own little invention even though our group’s invention didn’t go so well. I was determined to make it work. I was able to find the flaws and mistakes and adjust it so it eventually worked a little towards the end. Doing the activity taught me that even if you fail, try again. Find out what is wrong and fix it. This can fit into any academic situation and is very useful. Overall I had a lot of fun with these activities.
