Week 8 - Working together as a team!

Today Room 7 worked together in their desk groups and negotiated as a team different jobs they needed to do to complete a team challenge. We were learning how to use our multiple intelligence "People Smart".
To work as a team we had team monitors, a manager, a recorder, a speaker, and director. We worked together to discuss what teamwork looks like and does not look like using a T-Chart. 
After this we worked again as a team to talk about how we felt during the team challenge. We used a P.M.I. Chart to list down the Plus (positives), Minus (negatives), and anything else Interesting we noticed. 

Plus: It was fun! We worked together, getting together. We were thinking really hard. Listening. Respect by helping each other.
Minus: Not listening. Calling out or yelling. Felt left out or not sharing ideas.
Interesting: Started out bad, but then it got better in the end. We were able to work together better. 

As a class we decided that it would be a good idea to do more team work challenges so that we learn how we can work better as a team. We felt that this would help us to have more Plus' than Minus'. 

Here are some photo's of us working in teams together.  

QUESTION  What do you think teamwork looks like?

    3. Yes, that's an idea. Could you ask the quieter team members questions to involve them? Would this help?
