What is it in your life that makes you want to suceed or do better? Now tell us if you feel it is internal or external.

CELEBRATE YOU

Instead of talking about the class and teambuilding this week, lets talk about us as individuals. i want you to tell about the most exciting, fun thing that has ever happened to you or something you accomplished that made you the so proud. Describe the instance and what you felt.

OUR TEAM MOTTO!

Below you will find four quotes on teams and team building. Pick the one you think best describes what we are trying to or should be trying to accomplish, and explain what the quote means to you.


1. A group is a bunch of people in an elevator. A team is also a bunch of people in an elevator, but the elevator is broken!
2. The ratio of We's to I,s is the best indicator of the development of a team.

REFLECTIONS

Looking back on the week, we sure go alot in for such a short amount of time. What are some observations, revelations, changes, thumbs up, or just thoughts on anything we did this week.

This week we are going to take a minute to evaluate our progress as a class. Please answer the following four questions as honestly and openly as you can. Think about the activities we have done and the roles you have played and the roles you have seen others play.
1. What strengths do you bring to or group?
2. How do you rate yourself as a leader and as a follower?
3. What behaviors have you observed from other team members that you like?
4. What behaviors have you observed from other team members that you dont like?

VALUE CONTRACT LIST

Now that we have been together for over five weeks, we should have a good feel for where we want to go as a class and what we want to accomplish. It is now time for us to put together our value contract, so that we have on paper the standards we plan to live by and hold each other to. You are to list two traits or characteristics that you deem necessary for individuals in  a teambuilding, cooperative group to exhibit in order for the group to thrive.After listing your traits, please give a breif explanation or description of each so that we all know why you feel they are important.
