Team Work

"Be creative in a Team"



In this lesson, I need to make a giraffe using spaghetti, drinking straw and marshmallow. It was an unforgettable experience and I learnt to be active in a group. I have similar experience of crafting an object with limited material, but this time inspired me about teamwork. While I was thinking the structure of the whole giraffe, I refuse to talk with my teammates. Besides, I also ignore the opinion from my group mates. Then I told my group mates about my plan and start to build the giraffe. As there are many parts of giraffe such as foundation, foot and neck, I can’t handle them very much. I spent too much time in thinking, so I failed to finish the giraffe in limited time.

Teacher gave us additional time to finish the giraffe. I feel sorry to my teammates and start hearing their ideas. I found that they created many creative ideas that I never thought about. I realize I really need to talk with my group mates during the thinking part. As every person think about different aspects, I can merge them together in order to create a perfect idea and save time for further production.


In the media industry, most of the work is a group project. I should trust my group mates and separate the work in many parts. It can increase the efficiency and creativity. As everyone can focus on a small aspect, we can concentrate to work creatively.
