April 7, 2014-Capture the Flag

On April 7, 2014 our class played capture the flag on the field. The class and our T.A had to work together to set up the game without receiving assistance from Mr. Neufeld. I noticed that compromising was needed to be made when working with other people because you can't get things to work out exactly in your favour. People had different representations of how they wanted to set up  the cones and so therefore others got frustrated when it didn't go their way. A few people in the class were able to get most people's attention, which told everyone else to quiet down and to just listen. When another one of my classmates was projecting their voice to get the rest of the class's attention I didn't interupt and listened to what they had to say. My leadership role from today's class was near the end when I helped to put the cones/frisbee away. While we were playing capture the flag I ran to the other side many times compared to the last time I played in January. Even if I knew I had a chance of being caught, I still went because I wanted to get the most out of the gym class and I wanted to take risks  instead of being afraid. At the end of the block I was happy because I made an improvement from last time. I noticed that I may have even participated more this time by running to the other territory more often. I thought capture the flag was even more fun this time because I made more contributions. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to get everyone in the class to listen to your instructions however there were definitely other ways in the gym block I was able to improve upon and be proud of as I described.
