Resource used for photo: Dragonfly Pond
This project was very interesting (eye opening) once we had to work and combine our thoughts and ideas with the other class. The community project in itself focused on the idea of life and how lives would be lived around/in Dragonfly Pond. A lot of thought had to go into how certain placement of places and businesses would affect the community (whether it be in a positive or a negative way). We had to put into consideration the happiness of others as we created the pond. What I thought was interesting was how the other class handled the activity by creating their own community away from what our class had started. It pointed out how this does occur in real life (e.g. Granger). I am originally from Granger and I see a difference in communities when I moved to the Osceola/Elkhart area. So this activity really put things into perspective.
