Hunter Gatherer II

On Friday we wrapped up our Hunter Gatherer experience by creating a ritual for each of our respective stories. This, I must say was much better than the fish ritual, which I found to be a little dull. Perhaps that’s just because I wasn’t having a great dat during the fish ritual, but I really though that this activity panned out well in the end, and I learned something from the experience. We found it a bit odd to add words to something that had no words originally, so we basically kept it to the sounds we had in the first place. I think that the one problem here was that it had only been two days since we had done the original pieces, and we ourselves had done the original pieces. I think it could have worked out better if maybe another class had acted out skits and then left us written documentation of the occurrences and then we had done rituals from that. This would have removed the though of “well that’s not actually what happened” from our minds, because we wouldn’t have been the ones coming up with the story. Despite this I think this was a very good way to end the week, and though I was sort of turned off to the whole activity, I think I found a way to take something away from it in the end, which is all that really matters to me.
