The Spanish Educational System: The Game

           

Hi! this week i´am the Analyst and here i leave the questions about the Snake´s game :)

       What was the best part of the activity?

This was an unusual activity, we do not always play in class, so,  in general the activity was fun, but the best was our intention and our enthusiasm even though we had no luck throughout the game.

 ·What was the worse?

The worst part was when, although the questions were right, we fell into a serpent and had to retreat. While we drank it with humor and a lot of motivation

    ·What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)?

The organization that we conducted for this practice was a success, all working hard at home and then put in common the questions we had written. We were a long time doing it, but we are proud of our work.

 .     What was the worse?

The worst moment was choosing the questions, was difficult because they had to be easy but also interesting, plus we lost the derby (Barça-Madrid), we were working hard.

  

 What have you learnt?

We learned a lot about the educational system of our country..    

    

What do you need to conserve -as a group- for the next weeks?

Our motivation, our happiness and the desire to work..    

  What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next weeks?

Our organization and pay more attention

See you soon!

The Spanish Educational System: The Game

HI! I´m the tracker of this week.
The game consisted of 100 boxes listed. All groups started in box 1 below. Within the board had stairs that you were carrying rows up in the direction of the winning number. They had also snakes that make you fall down several boxes, It was dependind the case. We were 3 classes of 3 different days playing this game. The fisrt two days were winning the "Hakunamatateros" but finally won "Never too late". It had a lot of variations with the positions of the groups. You could study a lot but in the majority of the cases it was luck. We had only 2 prices, and they were for "Never too late" and "Hakunamatateros". A fun way to learn everything about our education.
