Group+Work

I worked with a group of about five students in the psychology class. The assignment was to come up with a skit to perform in front of the class. The skit had to be about some serious subject or event but within the skit the students had to do something discreet and ask the rest of the class about it afterward. Each student had a defined role within the skit. Everyone had a part in the skit and everyone in the group was able to contribute to the writing of the skit itself. I was very impressed that it was not just one student that took complete control over the process. The students did have some questions about what was needed to be in the skit and the different terms used which I was able to help them with. It was really fun to work with the group and even gave me a part in their skit. We had an opportunity as a group to run through our skit outside in the hall and I was able to help the students some of the different things they could do to make the skit more fun and give them a chance to poke fun of me a little bit. My interaction with the students lightened up the stress they had about the skit and what they were going to do for the skit. I was able to help them see that they can have fun with their learning and still get the message across.
