To do this, we went outside and did an activity called "Group Write" in which members of the project groups had to draw a symbol that represented their project on a piece of paper using a pen that was attached to the end of five feet of string. Everyone has a different string and the group must work together to move the pen around and draw the symbol.
In debriefing this activity, we talked about what made the activity difficult and how groups met that challenge. This discussion shifted to how these same elements of challenge and approaches to success can be used in working on the projects that groups are tackling in class. We then focused a bit more specifically on communication and did a ball toss activity that challenges people to communicate effectively and clearly.
When we went back inside we recapped this discussion by focusing on what effective communication is and what it is not. Notes from this discussion are below:

Homework:
If you have not done so already, be sure to turn in your discussion around which projects you felt we should choose (this is from our activity on 09/17). If you got this assignment back today and it needs revision, make those revisions.
If you have not done so already, complete the Project Logic Model Sheet do so for homework. If you got this assignment back today and it needs revision, make those revisions.
