I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the pig dissection lab. I was able to explain to Trey some areas that he didn’t understand. I made it easier for him by showing him. I realized that my partner is a visual learner so, I used visuals to teach him how to find certain organs. If I was ever confused with something I made sure to ask for help. I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to make sure we communicate our ideas. We’re humans so we can’t read each other’s minds so in order to have a common purpose, we have to communicate. Before we started this lab Trey and I read the overview so that we could split the workload equally, and give roles and responsibilities. We also made sure we had a common goal; to dissect the pig without completely ruining it.
