drawing challenge
Today I have to do a blog about this drawing challenge that we did last week the interpersonal skills that I used were verbal communication because we had to describe the picture and active listening because the person had to listen to the instructions
The interpersonal skills were helpful because we had to listen to our partner and because we had to listen to the other people’s instructions. The person I worked with was hunter f we worked well together when he was listening to my instructions
If I did it again I would try to get to do a better job at drawing the hellions level that I was working at was level three.

I came into the cabin wondering what was that noise lightning bolt just hit the engine. It was about to explode. I quickly inflated the lifeboat and quickly put all the essentials I needed to survive and jumped in and paddled away. Bang Pow the boat exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. Oww a piece of shrapnel just went into my arm. I ripped the piece of wood out, patched up my arm and went to sleep. Then when I woke up the storm had gone and kept paddling until I found the land. It was a very sandy and flourishing and heaps of coconut trees and what I thought to be mangoes differently applets I left the mystery of foot for a couple of days until I saw a bird eating it was like it must be ok for me to eat if they're eating it by now I have made a shelter and some fire it turns out it was ramengo it was a very juicy mango I said I have started to write help on this start of the beach and very big logs I've seen a couple Plains pass by hopefully lisping left and send help I don't think it's a meal on the island anymore because I've seen of the council tree, not mine I have to stay in the world then hopefully not be spotted help is coming I saw written this guy with the crop duster that's a good relief just got to stay.

Karen
The story is about a very mischievous Karen which gets into a lot of trouble...
¨ I am Karen and I am 49 years old. I'm blonde and I have a fringe so I go to the hair salon every Friday to maintain my hair. I have two kids one named Jonathan and the other one is Tinkerbell. I'm going into The Warehouse now to buy some hand sanitizer, shampoo and a toy for Tinkerbell. All I can see on the shelves are stupid Nerf guns & Red Velvet shampoo, but I want a Blue Velvet shampoo and a pony for my Tinkerbell. I also want a toy for Jonathan, 3 green fidget spinners and 2 pink fidget spinners, however, there are no pink fidget spinners. I'm getting very angry¨.
¨Can I speak to the manager!¨?
¨ Yes, I’m the manager and I´m in charge ¨.
¨YOU do not have Blue Velvet shampoo and you just have stupid Nerf guns on the shelf at the moment. I want a pony for my daughter and I want 3 fidget spinners for my son¨.
¨It's Nerf gun week that's why we don't have any other toys on the shelf and the blue velvet shampoo has already been taken by other customers¨.
¨I want you to order a refill right now and get those bloody Nerf guns off the shelf you stupid little boy¨ screamed Karen.
¨I´m not a little boy now get up get out of my goddamn store you stupid Karen stop that hurts and get out of my store¨!
Final guitar tool store and go to the McDonald's next door and buy a Happy Meal for my kids since this Warehouse is so stupid.
On the way home, Karen gets pulled up by detective chicken nugget
because she assaulted the manager of the warehouse She's going to jail for 3 days and 2 nights because of assault to Kyle the manager of the warehouse.
