Game of Trades

     In class today we were put into groups. Within those groups we were given materials to complete certain tasks but not enough materials to completely finish all of said tasks. With this we were set forth to trade, negotiate, and plan out with what we were given. Some groups decided to make alliances, others made deals about the prize that we'd receive. All types of tactics were used in order to become the first group that completed every single task. Our group, we didn't have multiple things however we persevered through that and managed to complete 3 out of those 5. We decided to group up with another group trying to complete the task in exchange for half of their winnings. Sadly though, we didn't win because another group went out and did what they were supposed to do and win and I personally congratulate them for that accomplishment. However, it was a little annoying because it felt like our group just could make quick, fast, and efficient trades. The activity was kind of fun tho and hopefully we could do some more things like that in class.
     This can be used in real life because with business there is always things like this happening. Even someone who wants to make it big starts off limited, however they do everything in their power to make sure that they fulfill what we know as the American Dream. Communication and being able to collaborate is going to be an important skill we need for the near future and when we're in the 'real' world.
