In History Alive today we did a game of tug of war to represent the war and show a metaphor. There were three teams the red team, the blue team, and the white team. The red team represented the British there for it had the strongest and tallest children in my class to show how the British had stronger men but had less men. The Blue team represented America with the more small and weak children in my class but it showed that America had more people join in so they were more weak but had more people join in. The white team represented France and France and England were in a huge fight so they went and helped the blue team in the war later on. Our teacher Mr. Solarz offered the blue team a prize the prize was tow things that we could earn in our class. He offered us the prize to show us that since America won they kind of got a prize and that prize was there home back. Though sadly there was a member of the blue team that did not get offered a prize because he was the one helping America wing there home back. In the war the White team kept cheering on the blue team because France and England were in a huge war and they wanted nothing to do with them. There was a part of the red team that was still sailing there way through a long journey to get to the war so fewer red team members were there. In the war the red team had to get a blue ribbon on the rope to pass a bag. Well the blue team only had to prevent them from doing that in less then a minute. This was done to show how the British were stronger and had a better chance but the blue team was more weak and needed more help in the process, Though I have to say I felt like the blue team and lots of confidence.
| 1. I was a member of the blue team. The blue team was the team that represented the kids in our class that were more short and weak. 2. I felt confident because we represented America which had more but weaker soldiers. Though I felt like if I had a group of more kids that we could win it. 3. At the very begging I thought the Red team would win. But as the tugging started I thought that our team the blue team had more chance of winning then the red team. Everyone was so hyper and tugging with all there strength because they thought they were getting a reward. So almost everyone on the blue team hopefully felt confident like I was. 4. When the rules changed I felt very confident we just had to keep the red team away from a certain spot in less then a minute. The rules also had that my team got help and the red only got Mr.Solarz which is a lot of strength but we got like 10 kids added. So I felt really confident when the rules changed. 5. Well one of the reasons the blue team won was because we had more people and the kids on my group were all exited and confident in my perspective. I think the number 1 reason why we won was because every one was so confident. Though the big number 2 reason was because Mr.Solarz! I knew he kind of had to let us win so it would match the war. But once it was over he said that in the end he tried really hard and did his full strength. |
