Puzzle Documentation 1

This is my first entry and I am a little excited to get started.
Wednesday morning we started working on our puzzles.
Not all of our group members were present, but the three of us made a start.
We just dove in, started grabbing edge pieces and forming coloumns with them, luckily some clumps of puzzle came out of the box correctly connected.

One thing I thoguht we did well was work as a team. We communally decided on the orientation of the puzzle on the board and started giving pieces to one another that they would need for their section of the picture.

One thing I noticed from Amanda and Allison was that they colour co-ordinated all of their loose pieces so that they limited their search when looking for a specific piece. That is a strategy I hope our group can adopt, however, I fear that the puzzle's elaborate design would undermine the usefullness of this technique.

I think that as a learner team work is important, and definitely works in favour of hte ultimate goal, but in this instance, the members of our team were so in tune that there weren't many new ideas or strategies brought up. If there were some conflict, perhaps we would have came up with a more effective technique.

This is a very biased point though, because I am usually a very arguementative individual.
