In the first workshop of Week 2, you will be formed into a small group of 4-5 for the purpose of undertaking your facilitation session scheduled for the Week 10 - 12. During the first four weeks of Trimester you will need to complete Activity 1 (option 1, 2, or 3), Activity 2, Activity 3, and Activity 7 from Groups Work! Although you need to complete these four activities for the purpose of this assignment, you will find that they (and other activities in the book) are designed to help your group work effectively. The activities must be completed as a group and attached as appendices to your assignment. Then, individually, you need to reflect on how completing these activities has impacted on your group effectiveness and development.   In particular: (a) How has the process of engaging in and completing such activities impacted on your group effectiveness and development (a broad approach)? and (b) How have specific outcomes of the activities, e.g., information shared, agreements and plans made, etc. impacted on your group effectiveness and development (a more specific approach)?
