In a group project, people didn’t know their roles and everyone was doing the same question. What I would’ve done differently is give everyone specific directions in order for people to know what’s going on.

I remember a time where I was supposed to visit my mom for Christmas. I was so excited to see her, as It had been a while, but when we got there we ended up waiting for a half hour because she was not home. My aunt actually got really mad, because it was Christmas day, and she was missing time with her kids, and the situation would have been avoided if my mom had told us she was going to be late.

Today for Advisory Period, My group-mates and I were challenged to " Build a Pyramid " with an elastic band. It was a tough situation to be in, Along with tons of miscommunication. We all learned together as a group to have patience with each other as well as speaking with a calm tone. After all we ended up being the first group to finish in our class. We all learned to understand and work with each other properly to accomplish the pyramid.

One time at the fair I thought my friend Jessica was bringing the show supplies, but she thought I was bringing them. When we got to the barn, we had nothing. We had to borrow supplies from someone else. So next time, I will double-check by saying, Are you bringing the supplies, or should I? That way, we won’t forget anything.

I remember a time in school where a friend overheard someone else saying hurtful things about another friend, but when we all spoke about it to clear things up it was a complete misunderstanding and they were talking about someone else in a good manner.

My dad uncle and I were on a ride and there was a large washout and I was not figuring i would make it through the washout and ai was correct I drove straight into it and we all had to pull the quad out of the mini ravine it was in so we now call that the "grand canyon accident"

In math class my group was doing the same question. Which caused us to not finish on time and it became homework. We could communicate and said I got this question you can do this question but we didn’t. Communicating could’ve solved that situation and it wouldn’t have been homework.

Once, I planned a surprise party but didn’t clearly communicate the date. A friend thought it was the next weekend and missed it. Next time, I’d confirm details with everyone to avoid misunderstandings!

With the cups, we the talkers couldve spoke more, instead they just pointed around and the whole group was laughing. Next time we could have someone more serious as the communicator.

I was doing a project and my partners were doing something they weren’t so I communicated with them and told them what do to right and then they started to do the right thing and not the wrong thing.

# data[].attributes.body
everyone has come across a time when a situation was misunderstood and communication could’ve really helped in that moment. One time I had a group project for history class, and one of my group members we’re not helping. And I was getting frustrated and upset because they were contributing to the project. But in the end all we needed was communication because my group member was just overall confused on what to do and what part to contribute to on the project as group.

In situations where miscommunication can happen, I think it’s important to take a step back and look at it from everyone’s point of view, and I get to the bottom of where the miscommunication happened, and just do our best to get to the solution we’re all hoping

Something that we could've done differently during the activity, is trying to take more and also understand others. And all as team to agree to do one thing and have the patience for it.

# data[].attributes.body
My team was not doing the best a listening. We did have slight communication in terms of signals, eyes, and others. But unfortunately, those didn't help much for the situation. People started to pull when they weren't supposed to. Or maybe someone was trying to do their own strategy without telling the speaker. We need to learn to alert other and make sure we listen to make a dependable and honest team.

There was this one time I was arguing with my girl at the time. She was yelling at me but I was being calm and not yelling back, I told her I didn't want to argue during that  time, and I tired to be as calm as I could, she didn't get the hint tho, I tried fixing the problem with her but she still didn't fix it,  the next time I would do differently is that I would just walk away and give her space that she probably needed

Today, in this period we did this string thing with cups and we all had to use teamwork to help each other but it was more difficult;t because we couldn't talk so thats why the communicator had to communicate for us but since we all worked together we were able to finish

with the cups the talker didn't talk much but instead did what he was thinking. i think next time we should pick a better speaker.

A situation where there was a misunderstanding was when I had to work on a project with a new group. I didn’t want to tell them what they had to do so I just ended up doing the project myself. Better communication could have made a difference because we would all have contributed to the project and they would feel like they could also put their input. What I will do differently next time is to have courage and talk do a group of people I have to work with and all work together for a better outcome.

me and my friend were getting mad at each other and we would stop talking and then we just talk about it and we were friend again

In high school, there was a time when my friend and I were supposed to work on a history project together. We decided to split the work: I would handle the research, and she would create the presentation. We agreed to meet a few days before the deadline to put everything together.

When we met, it turned out that both of us had assumed the other was also researching. I had focused on gathering detailed information, while she had been busy designing the slides without much content. We ended up rushing to combine our efforts, which made our final presentation less effective.

Next time, I would make sure we clearly outline our responsibilities and confirm them in writing. A quick text or message summarizing who is doing what would have prevented the mix-up. Additionally, setting a mid-point check-in to review our progress would help ensure we’re both on track and avoid last-minute stress.

Talking to people is when like you can communicate when people like need help with the work that you can help them with the work and that's what communication is and talking to people that's with it is about so yea fatima s

During a group project no one was sure of their roles and what they were doing which caused the project to turn into a total mess. There could've been better communication and something i would do differently is talking to the group about the parts that were needed to do

in a class that i have we were working a a big class project , everyone in the class has a part that contributes to the overall product, we either had individual projects or we were in groups, I had multiple individual ones and one partner one, as the dead line came near I communicated about my partner editing it and making it perfect while I edited my mini projects , we talked and they made it seem like our teacher was giving am extension on the due date, they said that is was originally due that friday but he talked to the teacher and she said she finalize the project Monday morning instead I said ok and went on with my day while still putting little details into my projects , when I had asked to make sure he edited our group on he said yes, so I wasn't to worried until when I got into class and asked about the extension and if it was true , she said that she hadn't spoken to him at all today , so when I looked at him confused and he claimed that he said maybe she would give it even tho he said she 100% did give an extension, but we still had a good chunk of time to finish if we needed to, in my mind he had already edited our project but when I had asked again he did a nervous laugh and said he didn't know he was supposed to work on it even tho we had been doing this project for weeks, in the end the teacher did give an extension till Monday to help not only us but some other students as well , we finished in time but if something like this were to happen again I would be sure to be super super super clear on whos doing what and how to manage time, even If the due dates far its better to have it done before its needed just in case you need to do a last minute switch. it couldve gone in diffrent directions tho , she maybe could have not given an extension and he probably wouldnt have gotten the project done in time

Today when we were doing the activity we didn’t communicate properly. We didn’t know which cups to pick up. This led us to not be able to complete it. We could have communicated our goals better. We could have clearly stated what we wanted.
