The task is simple: in eighteen minutes, teams must build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow. The marshmallow needs to be on top.
We were divided into 5 groups and try to do that.
At first, as expected, we discussed how we should do and how the marshmallow tower will be. The discussion is confusing so we spent ten minutes already. And then, we came up with the good idea and do action. I felt it was well done. However, when 2minutes left the tower was leaning to one side. As a result, when time was over, the tower just fell down.
How disappointing!!(I felt)
After the battle, Rab taught the real meaning of the marshmallow challenge, how well the team work do. The key word was "Just Do It (like NIKE)." I was surprised that the result of kinder garden's children was better than the one of business school students. Repeating failures mean not bad but the process of success. That's why doing action is important whether the result is good or bad.
Thank Rab Paterson! Recently, I am worried about a few things. But I decide to do action firstly.The key word is just do it!!!!
Hi sho:)
返信削除Sometimes I also forget it, but through Rab's class, i remembered "doing is most important". We should keep it in mind and be active as kinder garden students.
Yeh, Just Do It!
返信削除Thanks for posting and I find it very interesting that you thought this was the most interesting thing you did in ELA. I will tell Rab and he will be very please.
Also, what a cool illustration! did you design that yourself?
