Terms and Concepts IntroductionTips for EngagementTeamwork- the combined action of a group of people, especially wheneffective and efficient.As students are working intheir teams, rotate around theclassroom to ensure that allstudents are engaged in theprocess. If you find thatsome students are notengaged, ask them questionsto reengage them in theirgroup and in the activity.Setting the Stage and Opening QuestionsBegin by saying, “What do the Tennessee Titans, the Atlanta Braves andthe Washington Capitals all have in common?” Students should respondthat they are all teams.“Right! Those are all different teams, and all the individuals on thoseteams have to work together to accomplish goals. Today, we are going tolearn about working as a team toward a specific goal. To start today’sclass, I’m going to pass out a short questionnaire that asks you about yourpersonal strengths and limitations when it comes to working as a team.Fill this out, and hold on to it. You’ll need it later in class.”Pass out the student handout and allow students time to complete theassessment.Say to the students, “By the end of class today, you should be able toidentify a goal your team can accomplish, list the strengths andlimitations of yourself and your team members, and create an action planfor achieving your goal with your team.”ExperienceSay to the students, “You’re now going to work in teams to complete these small tasks that are all related toworking as a team. Each group will have a handout where you will list your responses to each of the tasks.The first task you and your team will complete is to brainstorm three to five words that describeteamwork. The second task is for you and your team to come up with a definition of teamwork. The lasttask your team will complete during this part of class is to write three guidelines for working with teamsthat you all feel are important.”Group the students into teams of four, pass out the team handout, and allow the teams to complete the task.Teamwork Makes the Dream Work 2
