In this class, we got to do a group activity where we were divided into four groups. I am in group three and there are five members in my group. Our team was responsible for producing a paper tower that fit the professor’s requirements. We needed to build the highest and strongest tower. We have 50 sheets of papers, one big tape and 10 paper clips. The extra credit goes to the top three groups from four groups. The first one gets 7%, second group gets 5%, and the third one gets 3% extra credit. My group got 3% extra credit. The group four got 7%, and group two got 5%.
1. Group Climate: The emotional atmosphere of a group.
Before the group activity, I never used to talk to my group members even in class. At the beginning, our group climate was cold, everyone kept silent and there was little or no talking. However, when the professor said, “You now have five minutes to get a plan on how to build the tower.” This is the point that the group climate began to change. People started warming up and the conversation began to flow.

Communication: the deliberate or accidental transfer of meaning.
In the group, we talked to each other and exchanged ideas on how to build the tower. This helped us come up with a plan of action. We decided that two boys should put the triangular towers together using tape and clip. Then, three girls used paper to make the triangular towers whereby would make one triangular tower. If a person had a new idea, we would discuss it together and come up with a conclusion. I felt very happy and relaxed when talking with my group
