Directions for Days 1 and 2
1. Begin
a word processing document that will be a cumulative journal/log of individual
work.
2. Write
for 10 minutes on this topic: describe yourself being sure to mention your
strengths and situations where you have used those strengths.
3. Go
to this site: http://www.ullazang.com/personality.html
and follow the instructions.
4. In
your personal journal, note what you found from the website and take 5
minutes to react to what you learned about yourself. Write down guesses
as to what your fellow group members would choose.
5. After
everyone in your group has completed this step, then share your findings
with one another. Would you have said this about yourself? Were you "right"
about each other? Look at the different choices on the website and discuss
what you learned about yourselves.
6. Practice
with the terms on the Zang website by telling your group members situations
from your life which illustrate those traits. If you do not agree with
what you learned, then supply examples that would disprove what you learned.
7. Give
your group a name that reflects your personalities. Put that name in the
title of your PowerPoint journal. Make a slide for each group member and
describe him/her using the terms you just learned.
8. End
class on day 1 by working through a likely conflict situation with your
group members:
· There
are 3 grades to be given for today’s work: A, B, and C. Determine who gets
which grade and why.
·
In your individual journals, record the things you did or said.
· Be
sure to note whether you behaved according to your type; be ready to share
this with the group at the start of the 2nd day. You have just
solved a conflict!
9. Begin
Day #2 by sharing with your group members what you wrote at the end of
the session. Explain what were the hardest and the easiest decisions that
your group had to make. Write that into your PowerPoint presentation.
10. After
you have completed step #9, go to the site below and take this questionnaire
individually. Print the questionnaire. http://www.qvctc.commnet.edu/classes/conflict/questnr.html
11. Refer
to your journal of yesterday and make notes on the printed questionnaire
to indicate where you behaved in the manner described. Follow the links
at the bottom of the web page to learn from this survey.
12. Reflect
in your individual journals on what you learned about yourself. Discuss
in full your strengths; talk about what made you a good group member. In
addition, name one area where you think you would like to improve your
skills of dealing with conflict.
13. To
culminate the 2nd day’s learning, add 2 slides to your PowerPoint
with a maximum of 10 words per slide to summarize the key points learned
in these 2 days.
1. To improve listening skills
2. To use “I” messages
3. To understand personal strengths
4. To evaluate new information
5. To synthesize information
6. To apply new information to the team process
I. A written journal in which you chronicle these things:
Your application of new strategies learned as you proceeded through the task
An evaluation of your team’s results
An evaluation of yourself as a team member--this evaluation must include terminolgy you have learned in this webquest.
II. The PowerPoint presentation which meets the standards explained above
The
situation:
The
local high school is trying to gather information to better understand
a current phenomenon: an increasing number of students who feel and act
hostile to others.
The
school’s response:
They
have turned to professionals for assistance and are hoping to get practical
suggestions they can implement immediately. You psychology interns are
the committee hired to advise the school on the increasing challenge of
students who seem to be alienated from the rest of the student body. Because
of your training in understanding different personality types and conflict
resolution, your charge is to suggest several ways to the teachers to better
connect with these students.
The
specifics of your job:
The
faculty will be having its usual 2nd quarter in-service the
week after Thanksgiving. At that in-service, they expect your group to
inform them of new strategies and suggest an action plan that they might
follow. In order to model real life applications of technology, the administration
requests that you present your findings in a PowerPoint presentation. They
further expect that the individual notes and reflections you have compiled
will be submitted at the same time as you make your presentation.
