Class 9

March 22nd - Class 9

Tonight we did a lot of group work with scenarios. We were split into groups and sent on our ways, each with a problem that we had to discuss what we would do in that situation to help calm the person down only using verbal communication. Our scenario was about a prisoner going on a hungry strike to protest reasons unknown to us at the time. After 20 minutes we came back together and discussed as a group our solution and any improvements to it.

After that the class was split into two groups and we learned about how to deliver bad news. I was apart of the group that had to deliver the bad news. We were told that we had to tell one of the people in the other room that both of their parents died in a car crash that night, but beyond that we weren't told how to deal with their reactions to the news. This was an interesting experience and it was cool to take apart of it. I thought it was a very good learning experience for us as a class to have.

After that we did another scenario like the first one in our original groups where our topic was once pulling a lady over and she didnt want to talk to us as a police officer because she was worried her baby daughter being scared of us
