Reflection July 13,2009

Today was pretty cool. We got to really test our communication and team skills. The council is broke up into three groups. Each group will be responsible for creating their own Cps High school from scratch. We can put anything into these schools if we fill it fits. My group started off by Creating a school caked Unique Learning Academy one of our schools goals is to promote positive and strong student teacher relationships. Also our group worked pretty well with coming up with a mission statement and how we would reach our mission statement. We think the teacher should be available after school and that the teachers should be out going.
We played Jet Fighter it was a very difficult game. I had the job of playing B. My job was to communicate with the whole group. Even though I felt that I did an ok job I caused my team the while mission. Termaine who played A had the mission and he didn’t really tell me what it was. Me being the type of person I am I took a guess and go the rest of the group involved. I was close but me and my organization in that game I misplaced Diana’s note and the note had the last clue for us to finish the mission. But if we would have had 3 more minutes we would have completed the mission.
Also the guest speakers offered great feedback for us to think about what resources to put in our school. Also I kind of had a second thought about what limits should there be to extracurricular activities. I’m doing a small sort of research problem to find out what’s wrong with Kenwood. Someone told me the clubs. I thought and some groups turn into cliques and this separates the school. I have not fallen in to this problem even though I’m a highly active member of my school. But for those who are not in clubs feel this is a problem, I really respect their Opinions and feedback. Now I have to think of a way to try and reunite the school.
