Week of november 5 - 11

Hello Folks!

Here is what is listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages from D2L for this week.  The schedule for the entire semester, and the discussion questions for the entire semester are listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages, respectively.  In case you do not want to wait for the "Monday Post", you are more than welcome to get started by looking at those two pages on D2L.

Due this week:
*Read Chapter 10: Creativity in the Small Group Process
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)
*Continue working on your semester long project, Observation of an Outside Group - due by Sunday, November 18th by 11:59pm.
*Quiz in D2L.  Please log into D2L to take the quiz for Chapters 9 & 10.
 
Class Discussion:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE.

1). Provide an example of creativity from your own experience. How does it fit with the chapter's discussion of creativity?

2). Name five cultural barriers to creativity. What do you think these would keep a group from being creative? Have you experienced any of these personally? Explain.

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that has not already been discussed during this discussion week, that you found useful or interesting, and discuss it.

Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs.  (As a reminder, comments will only be counted for the current discussion week. I do not go back to past discussion weeks to look for comments.  Once a discussion week is over, it's over.  So please make sure you are commenting on a relevant blog post.  In other words, pay close attention to the post, and date.
 
Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://comm141p.blogspot.com/ and look on the right hand side of my blog to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words.
