Moon walking, moon pies and moonshine, but surviving on the moon, I don't know about that. Our activity in class required us to rank items we needed to survive a crash on the moon. This activity showed just how important group work is for the Starting 5, especially the female member (me.) The scores we found are evidence that our group is stronger together than apart.
Scores:My Score- 60
Group Score- 15
Best individual score on our team- 28
As you can see if this game was survival of the fittest I'm not sure I would make it out alive. However, what is important is that when the five of us worked together our group succeeded. Even the strongest member of our team in this exercise was better off with the team score.
Our group worked together to create the list of supplies through a majority vote. At times we disagreed but we were good at discussing the pros and cons of each decision until we all came to an agreement. This is different than group think because it is not one person making decisions that everyone agrees with; it is our group deciding what is right and putting the good of the group ahead of what we think individually. Our process in problem solving involved us starting with an idea, discussing the issue, and finalizing our decision after everyone was heard to achieve our goal.
Needless to say I am grateful that my group taught me a bit about surviving a crash on the moon. Next time I fly through space though I will be sure to invite my team members!
