Journal 5-Miscommunication-Nightmare or Dream?

Our fifth visit to Loyola was unlike any of our other visits. For one, our entire group was there on time. In addition we actually had a structured game plan for what we wanted to accomplish during our hour with the students. Our objective was to pan out the details for our final group project, and obtain the remaining information we needed to complete the project. When it was time for 4th hour to start, my group and I encountered a locked door leading to an empty U.S. History classroom. A few minutes later, Mr. Gonzales showed up and gave us some bad news. Much to our dismay, we exposed a communication error between our group and Mr. Gonzales regarding the high school’s recently altered schedules. As a group we were a little bit frustrated, but at the same time, we took advantage of the opportunity to talk face-to-face with each other, and determined the best solution to satisfy the needs of the group project. This was extremely beneficial, seeing as almost all of us were extremely lost with the task at hand. We also took the time to get to know each other a little bit better.
