Communication in Other Environments – Den Building

Group and Leadership

During this activity, our group worked well together. There was no set leader of the group, but instead we each took on a different task to build the den. Some people had to gather materials, others found a suitable area to build and another person ensured we followed the criteria of the building. We each made sure that we contributed to our given tasks.

 

Explaining

When speaking with another group, we discussed their den building experience. They shared different strategies they used to build the den and mentioned the small challenges that they had faced throughout. There was also discussion on the initial ideas of their den and how much it had changed by the end of the activity.

 

Environment

I found that working in this outdoor environment was very calm and refreshing. It gave us all the opportunity to experience a new environment and be creative in the way that we worked, particularly as a team. I did not find it challenging to speak above the sounds of nature, I think that we may have been speaking quieter as we felt very relaxed and calm in the outdoors.

 

Negotiation

After completing our den, we had some materials left over. We decided to negotiate with another group and successfully traded items that suited each of our dens well. This was an important part of the task as it allowed us to work with other teams and better our own build.
