We were apart of an social experiment. We played a game based off of the Lord of the Flies. We had two leaders and the rest of us just felt uncertain.]]> 2017-01-31 19:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150651625 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150653399 2017-01-31 19:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150653399 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150653957  First we had to chose a leader. Many people voted for Caroline. I voted for Erin. Most of my classmates followed the crowd and voted for Caroline. We had to go around the circle choosing items that would be in the safe zone.Certain words were chosen and others we not chosen.]]> 2017-01-31 19:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150653957 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150654264 I knew there had to be some type of pattern. It was frustrating trying to figure it out. Certain words like berry, strawberry and blueberry were chosen. I chose cherry because it was a type of berry.]]> 2017-01-31 19:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150654264 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150655614 2017-01-31 19:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150655614 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150656673 Many people were eliminated. I was one of the few that was still in the game.]]> 2017-01-31 19:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150656673 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150656941 The Next Round we had to say why you think you should go to the save side. I said because I can help make plans. I personally did not know what to say because it was last minute and I was caught of guard. I did not think that would put me in the safe zone]]> 2017-01-31 19:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150656941 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150659118 Then we had to pick someone and tell why that person should not go into the safe place. I think this was an act to turn everyone against themselves. This act is very similar to what happened in the Lord of the Flies. As the story progressed they began to point fingers at each for events that happened. I think I started to feel that way when we had to vote someone out.]]> 2017-01-31 19:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150659118 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150660088 I thought it would be smart to not vote anyone out, but Ms. Lenart said we could not do that. So I decided to vote myself out. I thought if I shown how selfless I was, that the leaders my think I am worthy of the safe place]]> 2017-01-31 19:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150660088 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150660724 2017-01-31 19:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150660724 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661132 At after we finished accusing everyone of not being needed. The two leaders went to go decide who would be going to the safe place]]> 2017-01-31 19:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661132 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661489 While they were talking, I felt so nervous. I was not sure of they would pick me. I felt a level of insecurity inside. I was not sure what will happen.]]> 2017-01-31 19:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661489 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661945 When they came back, they decided that only three people would advance to the save round. I was not one of them. I was disapointed. I immediately wanted pt figure out what I had did wrong. I thought maybe I was not useful or maybe I voted myself out. I started to search for a reason why I did not make it.]]> 2017-01-31 19:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150661945 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150662798 After the experiment was over, Ms.Lenart began to explain the experiment.]]> 2017-01-31 19:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150662798 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150663393 We had to guess why certain items was safe and others were not. I guesses double letters but I was wrong. Later I figured out that is was double constants. That is why certain items like spoon did not work]]> 2017-01-31 19:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150663393 tjohnson01 https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150664874 I assumed I was not picked because of my reason. The leader explained that the only reason why I was not chosen because I was wearing a zip up jacket. All the chosen ones were wearing sweatshirts. Once I heard I was not chosen based on my attire, I began to think. I realized I was not chosen because of my reason, I was not chosen because I was not wearing a hoodie. That reminded me of racism. For example, many African Americans were segregated because of the color of their skin.  I began to forget about my reason or my accusation. I began to think that if I wore a sweatshirt I would have been chosen or I did not get chosen because of what I was wearing.  This expire mentioned left an impact on my life.]]> 2017-01-31 19:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson01/thwbseql97wm/wish/150664874
