How do the ladder and mouse trap activities connect to our next unit, climbing?

idk, the only thing that i can think of that the ladder activity could mean would be that we cant do some things by ourselves. as for the mousetraps, while it was kind of fun, i could find any meaning for them (that related to the class).
I think that the ladder meant we needed the help of others to do it and that we cant really rely on ourselves for the rest of the activities. We should get used to the idea that we need to help each other. As for the mouse trap activity, i have no idea what it meant other than to cause pain in a funny way.
I think that the mouse trap activity focased on doing things safely and safety is imporstant when it comes to climbing.
The ladder activity focased on safety, but it also focased on teamwork and finding solutions to problems. When climbing gets harder we will have to use more teamwork to help the person climbing.
I think the ladder activity was really interesting because it got really challenging when you had to go all the way to the second to last step, i didn't make it to the second to last step. The mouse trap activity was a lot of fun to do and it was an easy activity because our group had really good team work.
Both of the activities rely on other's abilities to hold on or balance. For example, with the mouse trap activity, when we were stacking the traps, we had to pay attention to our surroundings and yet, at the same time, focus on them so they didn't go off. As for the ladder activities, I thought of it as a gateway to trusting others to hold on to you when you are reaching a certain height.
i think that the ladder was to show us that we need to trust others to overcome tasks, and be able to trust others when in need. For the mouse traps... idk i think it was to show cooperation and trust with the people who are helping you.
The mouse traps had us deal with equipment that could end up hurting you if you're not careful and precise with setting it up. For climbing, we need to make sure we get all the knots right, so ballying and climbing can go as safely and smoothly as possible.
As for the ladder, the people on the floor had to use their feet. The same goes from rock climbing. The bally-ers must use their feet to give themselves a proper position to catch the climber if he/she falls. The partners who climbed the ladder needed to find balance and support each other. When someone climbs, he/she must be as close to the wall as possible, using both hands and feet to hang on, thus the balance factor.
For the ladder activety, I think part of it is showing us what we will be doing up high only on a smaller scale. It shows us that not only will we need to face hights, but we will have to trust each other to get to the top. We wont be able to just rely on ourselves climbing the wall, we will have to rely on others to catch us and make sure we don't fall. Just like in the ladder activety, we'll have to use strategy to work our way up as well.
For the mouse traps activety, we had to push aside our fears of getting hurt in order to complete the objective. The only way we'll be able to get to the top of the wall is to put aside our fears of falling or getting hurt and move forward. We had to work together to set up the mousetraps and move them across the gym just as we will have to work together to set up our climbing system and get everybody to the top of the wall.
Maybe that you have to use teamwork in order to get the job done because it can't really be done by yourself or at least with some help, especially the ladder activety. - anne d.
The mouse traps related to climbing in a few ways. If you don't COMMIT to setting the mouse trap in one motion, you'll end up getting hurt or scared. If you don't commit to grabbing the next ledge while climbing, same situation. Teamwork was obviously a factor to prevent injury, and same goes for climbing. And both situations are tense!
I think that the mouse traps and the ladders relate to the next unit in the sense that we are going to have trust people even more now and rely on others to help us when we need it and we are also going to have to trust that the equipment we're using is safe as well. The ladders made me realize that I'm going to have to get used to the idea of others helping me.
i think they relate in the idea that you can't handle everything by yourself, and if you confront a scary or difficult situation with a group instead of by yourself, it makes the whole experience easier and more fun.
I believe that this whole mouse trap mind game you played was to make people do something they did not want to do because they were afraid. I know that even if some people didn't say it or show it much, they were still scared of holding that trap and setting it up because it could slip and snap at any point. So basically, you need to keep very alert and cautious while holding it and stay focused on what you are doing as well as everyone else ( because you can't move if you are holding the trap, so you need help to move it) and I missed the ladder activity because I was passing back the 1209123490 i.d.'s you collected.
I think the two activities are related to each other because we need to learn to work together (safely) and not just rely on yourself, but on others too.
the ladder activity meant that we needed the help of somone else to be able to do something. The mouse trap was similar becauase we needed a lot of confidence on our group. I was afraid that the mouse trap would hurt my finger. My group did a good job with this activity
in both activities, i noticed that we all really had to pay attention and pain seemed more immediate. They both taught us that every move we make is important in climbing and we also have to work as a group.
I have been teaching since 1995. I started teaching at Winston Campus Junior High in Palatine. In 2001 I began teaching at Fremd. I am an assistant golf and wrestling coach. I have also coached boys gymnastics and I was a sponsor for Powder Puff Football and Outdoor Adventure Club. I am the 4th child of 5, 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother. I am married and I have two great boys 2 1/2 year old and a 5 week old. Chase and Brody. I love it when I come home and chase yells out "DADDY" and has a big smile on his face and is coming to hug me.

I think the ladder activity was different but interesting and the mouse traps were sort of related how are groups work together when were climbing.
I think that the mouse traps and the ladders relate to the next unit in the sense that we are going to have trust people even more now and rely on others to help us when we need it and we are also going to have to trust that the equipment we're using is safe as well.
