the playing card activity

I had a seven and I was more or less ignored because almost everybody else had kings and aces. I think the game was supposed to show that status isn't usually given fairly to people. In this game it was decided by a shuffle and a draw.

the question game..states, hockey teams, colours etc

It took me a while to figure out what was happening in the game. I think it was to show us discrimination happens whether we know about it or not, because the team leaders never told us what our criteria for discrimination was.

the gender game

I thought it was a bad idea, I would of liked a little more "order" for debating a battle of the sexes. I found out it's more or less immpossible to figure out what the "better" sex was but it went from a debate to a shouting match which isn't right.

positive word poster

Our word was Courage and I Was NOT happy with our poster. Nobody in the group had much artistic talent to speak of and I don't like the idea of losing marks because of it. I took leadership class, not art class. If I had to do it again I would of done a background of some kind because I saw other posters with a background and I thought it was cool.

I think the story tells us to live and let die. Like forgive and forget, Kim Phuc used to hate the war for what it did to her but even she was able to forgive what happened.

Read the Roseto Mystery and share..

I guess the moral of the story is just to do things together and do what makes us happy. Apparently if we don't, we'll die.

Leadership Quote

My quote was "I don't know the secret to success but the key to failure is trying to please everybody" - Bill Cosby

I wrote it on a T-shirt because just about everybody wears T-Shirts. Since T-Shirts aren't out of style they tend to please everybody in their own way, but you can't wear a T-Shirt in cold weather so you can't ALWAYS wear a T-shirt.
