Group B Extra Credit

/in /by

1. Assignment title: Spot your Group

2.Assignment objectives: Students will interact with members of society as well as applying what they have learned from their chapter that was assigned to them by the teacher. Then students will demonstrate a specific situation that applies to the main message of the chapter. It will give them the opportunity to view group work outside of the class rooms and witness it in real life situations. Through this assignment students will be able to apply course concepts to real world group work, experience group roles in action, and reflect on the stages of group development.

3. Assignment description: Students will do two hours of service learning in a group setting i.e. boys and girls club, feeding the homeless, etc. Then in class they will act out what they did in service learning and apply it to the chapter given. They will pick a situation that happened during their service learning project act it out and somehow connect that to the chapter given. For example, if they wanted to go to the Boys and Girls club and had chapter three. During their visit,  maybe they witnessed a child sitting by themselves they could connect that child to an underpersonal member as stated in chapter three. They would have to act out as a group the situation where the child is sitting in the corner and then half the group would act it out and half of the group would explain the situation and connect the experience to the chapter for there fellow students. This way,  the students are able to learn about the chapter through real life experiences not only visually via demonstration but verbally as well.

4. Assignment instructions: In order to be successful in this assignment, students must fulfill the two hour service learning requirement and the students must connect it to the course. Time limit is 7-10 minutes. Must use presentation aids and have a well prepared skit.

5. Assignment evaluation: Organization, clear ideas, easy to follow, perception of team work. They have to have the service learning plan printed off the CIlearn printed and signed. This will be graded out of 50 points.
