Colabborative

Over my lifetime I have down many collaborative assignments and tasks. My favorite one was one of my first. In about sixth grade we received a collaborative assignment to build a building that functioned electronically and looked good. Being our first collaborative essay everyone was confused at first. We all knew each other but had never been allowed to work with our peers without it is considered cheating. So at first everyone wanted to do it their own way, and after a few arguments with my friends we worked it out and took the best ideas that the group could agree upon. Each person was sent to do his or her own part of the project. One did the electronics, one made the outsides have the structure, one anted, and so on. This was much like real life and we did not even realize it. Everyone did his or her specialty and we made it all work together perfectly. While learning how to work in groups.
