Comparing Activity 1 and 2

Activity #2 was almost the exact opposite of activity #1. Though the goal you were trying to achieve was the same (making toys), the means by how that was done was different. Activity number one comprised of creating a attractive enough toy by yourself, so that is can be shosen as a winner the next class. In Activity 2, we needed to then make as many copies as possible of the winning toy working as a team. Also, the winner (Nikaya) was the "manager" of our little toy making factory, and she actually had the opertunity to "fire" us from the activity, resulting in an F as a quiz grade. It was a contest between classes to see who makes the most toys. As I mentioned in my last post about Activity 1, everything was chilled out, and people were having a good ol' time neatly coloring their little figure. On the other hand, in activity 2, people were very tense and nervous, and arguments were frequent. Also, the quality level of toys dropped tremendously due to the pressure of winning against all the other Humanities classes. We also needed to find a strategy that could make us efficiently creat toys faster, so we chose an Assembly Line type formation, where there was a cutting section, a glueing section, and a coloring section. I think Activity 2 gave the class a real idea of what factory life really could be like. In that case, i hope i never have to work in a factory again :P
