During today's SMASH day, we did an activity which each group had to get their marbles, passing point-stickies, and into a cup at the end. There are point-stickies of 10 and 15 points, placing randomly on the table. During the activity, we could use anything to block, bounce, or lead the marble to the point-stickies. However, in one condition, we have 2 chances but could only flick the marble twice in each role -- flicking only.

I was a critical thinker and an effective communicator while participating the activity. It's because that first of all, we had to think of a way to get the marble passing as many point-stickies and get as many points as possible; and secondly, we were working in groups, in which communicating was a really important skill for us to succeed the task. For some specific example of how I showed that I was a critical thinker and an effective communicator is that I've been thinking how the marble would bounce if I put the plastic cardboard in a certain position, and then I discussed with my group mates about my ideas, then finally we tried if it worked together.
