BLIND STORY On our PPD session, we did an activity on story writing. This activity was special we had to get into 3 groups randomly and seated facing back to the white board. A marker was given to each group. We couldn't communicate with each other. The task was to write a story without talking and one person can write only one word at a time. 4 rounds were given to each group. The stories contained about 30 words our story was about 2 friends going to the forest and make a trap at bottom of  a tree. But the story was bit off by end. So we learned that, Without communication we cannot predict what others are thinking. Communication is a must to do a task successfully. If something is not yet done completely and we don't know how to fix that, it will get end up like a mess.
