Group Dynamics

In class we get to choose parts to help organize a play or skit, such as lead historian, director, video editor, script editor, and producer. I try to choose or get the role of the director. I like the director because I get to come up with ideas and talk a lot. Also I just love to direct people in the right direction, from  attitude to storyline. I always love to help others and myself feel good about their projects. When I am director I do talk a lot and take leadership of the group. I do not sit back and wait. I am always putting input, ideas, and direction into the skit or play to make it as good as 6th graders can make it. I love this role because I get to put many ideas into the skit or play, talk a lot, take leadership, and most of all I like to direct. When I am in a group working on a skit or play I do like to work with friends because I know that they will do nice work and not just mess around. Another thing that I like about working with friends is that I know they will appreciate me for how much effort I have put into the play or skit. Some bad things about working with friends is that if you have a situation that turns into an argument you could have a disagreement that becomes a problem between your friendship. To resolve conflicts in group situations I usually talk about it to my group and then divide the work up (between my group members) that we are struggling to finish. That usually works. If other people are talking and I am not getting the chance to talk or put my ideas into skit or play I use a louder voice and try to get there attention.
