Feedback on team dynamics:

1. How effectively did your group work?
Our group worked very effectively together. I think at the start of the assignment we all had a lot of ideas and struggled to
bring them together into one cohesive unit and lesson, but after some discussion I think we established a really good plan and
worked well as a group.

2. Were the behaviors of any of your team members particularly valuable or detrimental to the team? Explain.
All of our team members contributed significantly to the group, but I would say Allison was our MVP. Her stage manager style
of organizing helped keep the group on task and focused and moving towards a finished product. She let everyone speak, but
she also knew when to take the lead and make sure things got done.

3. What did you learn about working in a group from this project that you will carry into your next group experience?
Working in groups is always tough when you have a group of leaders. As prospective educators, we all have distinct leadership
qualities. It can be difficult to figure out when to speak up and when to listen, and sometimes it can be hard for people to
compromise with other ideas.

Other group:
1.
I liked that the group had some specific examples of what they would expect from the students. The addition of design
concept statements was a smart way of integrating writing and literacy into a theatre lesson.
2.
My main question would be about the overall purpose of the unit. I was unclear as to what exactly their unit was. I
couldnt tell if they were simply teaching basic design, overall technical theatre, or costuming. The unit and lesson were not
specific enough for my liking.
3.
I think a stronger concept for the unit would have helped this group and would have directly affected their lesson as
well. In terms of the presentation, I would have liked for everyone to have spoken so I could get different perspectives.
