 * 1) Did you feel like you were in a race? Why or why not?

Yes I did feel that I was in a race. I felt like that because in all races, all the contestants try to go to the final spot we are given and come first so that they win the race. In this flight simulation also we were all given a certain destination to reach. So this is why i felt like I was in a race. Yes, me and all of my team members agreed on what to do. We did it because we could all go to a certain destination and we would not have any fights. An example is we all decided to go to Morob from Karuz. The most challenging parts of the flight activity was when we got a bad fate card. It was difficult because we always went behing schedule and we had to plan again how to catch up. If I do this activity again,I would learn the worksheets on time that are given in the yellow folder. One competency that I used was communicator because I always asked my team member before taking any step further in the flight simulator. I also worked on use use of technology because I did not go to any other website than this wiki and I did not misuse it in anyway.
 * 1) Did you and other team members agree on what to do? Why or why not? Give an example of one agreement or disagreement.
 * 1) What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? Why?
 * 1) If you we going to do the same activity again, what would you change?
 * 1) Name two competencies you worked on during this flight activity. For each competency you chose, explain what you did to develop the competency.
