Marshmallow Challenge----an interesting activity

    Although the marshmallow challenge class has passed several days, it impressed me quite a lot.

    I still want to write something to record this vivid and meaningful class.

    Personally, I'm interested in these kinds of class activities which require some handwork therefore you can guess how excited I was when we started to prepare building the tower with noodles. However, when we actually began to work, passion was not enough. The classmates in our group are from FSH, FBA, FED but, unfortunately, NO FST. So we all had no idea about how to build a strong tower with noodles, don't even say knowing what's the purpose of marshmallow.

    Therefore there is no doubt that our group's tower didn't stand up at all! However, every coin has two sides. We had great fun in the process of building and learned a good lesson from this experience.

    The first lesson I learned is how great a role planning should take. Because of worrying about the time, we started to build in a hurry without a clear plan, which caused a series of trouble later.

    The second lesson is  the importance of setting a suitable goal. We put most of our energy to think about how to build a high tower instead of how to build a stable one. Our direction was not accurate and our target was much higher than our ability can obtain.

    The third lesson is that we should not be affected by others easily. When seeing other groups' towers gradually stand up, we were quite worried and lost strategy and finally messed it up. The standing tower of other groups gave us so much pressure which made things worse.

   The last but not the least, failure is nothing because we got three treasurable lessons from one failure. Quite worthwhile, isn't it?!
