Write about the roles that evolved in your group during the Red/Green game. These roles should be categorized in task-oriented roles, and maintenance-oriented roles. Also, discuss the essential nature of trust in relationships based on your findings within your group and the other groups.
Small Group Discussion Evaluation
You will participate in a problem–solving group discussion and then write an original and thorough evaluation of your group discussion in the following three areas; quantitative participation of each member, qualitative participation of each member, and an overall analysis of the group's communication as a whole. You must site evidence of library and/or Internet research on your group discussion topic in a bibliography.
Speech Outlines
Write two original outlines for each assigned speech (informative and persuasive). This work should follow a traditional outline, including an attention step in the introduction, sign-posting transitions, three or four main points supported by at least two references each with referenced sources indicated, and a conclusion with a summary or concluding statement. You must site library and/or Internet research on your topic in a bibliography.
Speeches
You will receive a minimum passing grade if you deliver to the class an informative and a persuasive speech. Speeches should be no longer than six minutes and no shorter than four. At least four sources should be sited within your speeches. Your speeches should follow an outline structure, stating the thesis and your propositions. Creative transitions should move your audience through your speech.
Group Discussion
You will receive a minimum passing grade if you meet three basic criteria of participating in a group discussion: You speak up, you know what you're talking about, and you allow and invite other quieter members of the group to participate in the discussion. You must show evidence of library and/or Internet research on your topic in your input to the discussion.
