Getting Into Groups

Being Split Into Groups

In order to be split into groups out teacher, Adam, randomly picked out names and put us into four different groups. Initially I was placed in a group with three other boys, however Adam decided it would be wise to place me in another group as I feared that I wouldn't have had any say in the ideas if I was in a group with all boys.

After making a few changes to the groups I was placed with Crerar, Lauren and Igor.  Unfortunately for Igor he was now with three girls but he didn't seem to mind too much, and as a group we agreed to make sure that he had his say, as I knew that he was in the same situation that I was previously in.

I believed that our group would work really well together, especially us three girls as we all had similar ideas of what we wanted.  The one problem I could see occurring was the language barrier between Igor and the rest of us, and many a time he would have to tell us to slow down because we were talking way too fast.  Apart from that I thought that we would blend well and get the task at hand done as we all had different strengths that we could play to as a group.

First Group Meeting:

I unfortunately missed the very first meeting as a group in which they discussed all of our ideas and tried to come up with something that we could all agree on.

I was told that this didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped, as when I returned on the second group meeting they hadn't really come to a decision at all. I believe this was because everyone was so fond of the ideas that they had come up with that they didn't really want to have to change them.
