If my classmates and I were trapped on an island along with a group of first graders, I think we would manage. Staying alive in a situation like this certainly wouldn't be easy, but considering our discussion in class, we would put our minds together and make it out of there alive. The key thing to remember is that everybody has something to contribute. Some people are loud leaders, while other quietly observe. The hard part is finding out who can work together.
One thing we had plenty of in our class was leaders. Diamond was keeping us all organized and making sure things didn't get out of control. Alex and I were taking charge and assigning roles to everyone and establishing a "game plan". Emory was working on how to keep us from fighting by creating a small government. The disadvantage was that there were a lot of people that kept quite even though they had great ideas. Akbar finally spoke up and decided that the first thing to do was scout out the island and find a water source. That was a necessary task and to be honest, I overlooked it. It may take one to lead, but for us to live through and experience like that, we would need to all work as one. I think we would.
I completely agree. This was kindof like the small leadership discussion wehad in Mo Ranch, because I know that there are some smart leaders who kept quiet in the group.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Although the people who were really quiet weren't really involved, they would probably stand up in an actual situation like that.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we could survive. We have many smart, talented, and resourceful people in our class. But i'd still be scared out of my mind. I could be with Bear Grizzly and still be scared out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteWe would more than survive we would thrive and make a community. The only worry I have is the first grades, because I know kids are a pain in the butt. What will we do???
