Group Project Communication Worksheet
Communication tip (Yes, and…): Helps group work: sharing ideas briefly, building on an idea, asking quiet members, agreeing who does what, updating the group, summing up decisions. Hurts group work: only pushing your idea, going silent for days, mocking an idea, side chats in meetings, changing plans secretly, blaming in the chat. Build on ideas (“Great point. Let’s add it to the plan.”), don’t shut them down (“Boring. Next.”). Time sums: share equally = minutes ÷ members; time left = total − time used.
