Boys, Girls, Dramatizations, and Idiots.

Today, was considered a "fun day" at school (for who? the teachers? o.o *PFFT* yeah righttt.) It was the calm before the storm of exams (not really that big of a storm). The idea is that the grade 5-6, 7 and 8's are split into 22 groups (that were predetermined) with 7 grade 5-6 groups, 7 grade 7 groups, and 8 grade 8 groups. There were 11 different activities at different parts of the school and each activity will have 2 groups at it competing for a point also each group will go to 5 different activities. So as I was saying I was in the "puma" group (all groups named after animals) and in that group there were 4 girls and 7 boys which was less than others. Our first activity was creating a 'boat' (or boat like structure) out of cardboard then having 2 group members sit in it as it is pushed around an obstacle course by the others. The reaction on how the people of our one group acted is going to be part of this dramatization. in each of the coming posts I will run: 1. the real thing that happened (boys being dominant and girls watching) , 2. what would happen if the group was only made of boys, 3. what would have happened if the girls took a more dominant role and 4. what would happen if the group was only made of girls. Not only are these gender differences different in thinking but also in outcome. I will list the variables and ideas that take form in my mind. also my independent research and found research will be listed in the bibliography. I will try to take as short of time and be as detailed as i can but it is hard to do, takes a long time and will be at the end of my priorities list because of the exams that are going on this week. (excuse till exams are over.) If you read this I shall try to take a short time though I am a teenager (ADHD, Hormone, procrastination, etc,etc.) and it is summer. (boys, vacation, no thoughts, fun, shirtless boys, etc,etc,etc.) Will try hard. Bye
