Personal Experiences Solving Problems in Small Groups
|
We work with other people in small groups to solve mutual or community problems occurs at work, in places of worship, at school, and in civic or social organizations. Instead of writing a personal essay, students will work with their class groups to generate a report based on the real experiences of members that illustrate key concepts from chapters one through four of the textbook, Randy Fujishin, Creating Effective Groups: The Art of Small Group Communication. |
|
The report should begin with an introduction and close with a conclusion. The body will contain examples from the group members’ lived experiences that illustrate these concepts:
|
“Chapter 1: Working in a Group” *Conflict: Good and Bad, *The Power of One *Diversity
“Chapter 2: Discovering Yourself” * Select two points from pages 28 and 29. * Apply each to a small group interaction of someone in the group.
“Chapter 3: Expressing Yourself Clearly” * Match two of the Climate Behaviors on pages 52 and 53 with two different real experiences of two members of the group.
“Chapter 4: Listening for Understanding” * Explain how the S.O.A.R Technique might have improved communication and productivity in prior small group experiences |

Don’t forget to take notes at group meetings so that you can document what you and others contributed to the report. Generic or broad comments will receive low grades. You must be specific. See the handout on Blackboard for ideas of how to be precise. Email me an evaluation of all group members, including yourself. Do not lift phrases from the handout unless you apply them to things people did.
