Class work 3-20

102 Group Work Plan

●       Define specific tasks necessary to complete the project. List them below.

-one person attend workshop each week

-meet Wednesdays

-assign individual work (research)

-communicate

-2 articles

-2 interviews

●       As much as possible, play to individual group members' strengths, not their weaknesses. That means identifying the skills and resources each group member can bring to bear on the assignment, and planning the project in a way that takes advantage of those skills and resources to produce a stronger final paper. Make a list of skills and resources for each group member below.

-creative writing

-speedy writing

-writing center

-vocab

-grammar-

-don’t procrastinate

●       Divide tasks among group members. Each group member should be involved in both the research and the writing stages of the project, but that involvement may take a variety of forms. Remember to play to each others’ strengths. More than one group member may be assigned to each task, but one group member should take the lead for each task. Write group members’ names next to tasks they will take responsibility for.

-one person attends workshop per week

-rough draft due by 4-20

-one interview per person

-one article per person

●       Create a schedule, including deadlines for specific tasks and regular meeting times with the entire group. Use the calendar provided, or use something like Google Calendar, which can be shared with group members.
