Marshmallow Challenge Essay

Decent Essays
We’ve done marshmallow challenge twice and this is an essay about what went well and even better if.

Firstly, to me, the thing went well was that in the group, we discussed ideas actively. all of the members in the group took park in the discussion and I think because we had many ideas from each one of us, we could combine the ideas to make a goodstructure. However, under the timed conditions, this became a major problem. In the first try, during the 18 minutes given, because we spent too much time for planning, when we actually started making the structure we only had 8 minutes. This is proved by kindergarden students. When they do the challenge, they don’t discuss about ideas but instead of that, they start making the structure straight

    The field experience video that was my favorite was the Tim Bedley critical thinking videos. I really like this videos because the teacher keeps the students engaged and applies a problem based learning technique to help solve a problem that many the students have been struggling with.

To solve this problem, the teacher gets the students in a group and tells each group needs a table leader, time keeper, and somebody to record the information by writing the ideas down. The teacher then listens to the student’s responses and clarifies any misunderstandings.…
