This week our lesson focused on the group process. We did a team activity were one person was blind-folded and the other person had to talk them through a obstacle course. I liked this activity because it can be as easy or as hard the group members make it. It's a simple concept, one person can't see, the other person can. All it takes is two member who can communicate clearly, decisively, and with trust. If you can't be clear, decisive, and have trust in your partner then it's not going to be a very productive exercise. The same concepts of group teamwork from this exercise could be applied to the relationship we'll have with our other Hixson section leader, when communication will be so imperative to create lesson plans, prepare for class activities, and deliver lessons.
Your emphasis on communication is great. I'm glad you took that from the lesson.
ReplyDeleteCory! indeed it is :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that us as peer mentors need to communicate with each other clearly, decisively, and with trust in order to get the best experience and help that we can, and create great friendships!
