Zhengyang's most recent reflection achievement
This week's theme in Play is 'risk analysis.' The
Hyperball trophy is up for grabs this week, and maps will feature both high-risk/high-reward opportunities and low-risk/low-reward areas. It's likely that you'll find yourself on teams with
mixed risk tolerances. So how do you decide which approach to take?

You¡¯ve been around Synthesis Teams for a while, so you know that good teamwork means more than just participating in the game and communicating with your teammates.
It involves cooperative planning, coordinating roles, and shared decision-making. It¡¯s about including everyone and checking in on progress toward the team¡¯s goals.
This month, we¡¯ll take a closer look at these important aspects of teamwork as we examine your
goal-oriented collaboration skills.
Zhengyang, here's what we observed about your teamwork skills during play: One thing you did especially well was showing interest in understanding strategies, like when you asked, ¡°I wonder if you would call your strategy right now a defense strategy or would you say it's an offense strategy?¡± This shows you're thinking about how the team could work together, which is crucial for effective teamwork. Another great thing we saw was your supportive nature, as reflected in statements like, ¡°We need to find people who want to get involved and help with this strategy.¡± This helps create a positive team atmosphere. One way to grow even more is to take a more active role in strategic planning and decision-making. For example, you might volunteer for tasks or suggest specific roles for teammates. Why is this important? Because helping to shape the team's direction can make reaching your goals together even more rewarding! Keep up the great work while opening up to these new opportunities.
Observations based on your participation in Play sessions in 3 of the past 4 weeks.
On your journey to make any team you join better, you'll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Our Discussion sessions are carefully designed to provide opportunities for you to practice these critical communication skills in various ways.
Last week's theme was
"Fair Play." In games, 'fairness' means both teams have the same opportunity to succeed. In discussions, there are no teams. But there can still be fairness. In addition to weighing ethical dilemmas about fairness, students were tasked with working to make sure all their team members had the opportunity to contribute. After all, there should be a fair chance for everyone to share their opinions.
No right or wrong answers. Just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.

Reflection for Zhengyang: Does the communication in your team room show that everyone has an opportunity to speak?
Zhengyang, we¡¯re glad you were able to attend a Discussion session last week! We appreciate how you listened to your teammates¡¯ perspectives. Active listening is an important¨Cand sometimes undervalued!--part of good communication skills.
To take those skills to the next level, consider sharing your point of view a bit more proactively next time. If you¡¯re not sure how you feel about a topic, try asking a teammate a follow-up question or volunteering to read some of the slides aloud for the group. Your insights are valuable, and we look forward to learning more about your unique communication style in a future session.
Anyone who's on the path toward becoming a Supercollaborator is able to keep improving their skills and making course corrections. We look forward to seeing you at future Play + Discussion sessions, and we'll continue giving you feedback on your teamwork and communication skills.
