compete from each other. Each member of 2 groups will be the first to turn around for
at least 5 rotation and they will walk as fast as they could from the end corner of the
room up to the front desk. There are pieces of paper in the table that has words and
sentence that they will transcribe in shorthand at the board. After transcribing, the
other member will be the next to do so.
