(See grades 11–12 Language standards 1 and 3?here?for specific expectations.)Chair: “Next on the agenda is Basic Skills Development. We’ll start with D.21 Listening. Please write the following “word for the day” and quotes for the day:”. . .(read definition & quote).”Word for the day: TEAM: a cooperatively functioning group. A group of people organized to work together to reach a goal or goals.“Quote for the Day: Benjamin Disraeli: I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?Napoleon Bonapart: A leader is a dealer in hope.D.24 Speaking: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1?Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11–12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and SS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1b?Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decision-making, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed.Chair: “Next on the agenda is Speaking. I call on (_______________________) to please rise and read todays speaking exercise.” What Team Members Can (and should) Do to Help Their Team Become High PerformingBy Jesse Lyn StonerTeam members make two common mistakes:Mistake #1:? Thinking it’s the team leader’s responsibility to pull the team together and waiting passively for that to happen.Mistake #2: Accepting mediocrity because they assume there is nothing they can do.Ultimately a team’s success depends on the team members, not the team leader. In fact, over-dependence on the team leader can prevent a team from reaching its full potential.?What you can do as a team member to support your team on its journey to high performance?Teams move through predictable stages of development, but how quickly and easily they progress depends on whether the needs of the team are being met during each stage. And sometimes teams can get stuck. D.22 Reading: CCSS.ELA-RA.R.1?Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the SS.ELA-Literacy.RI.11-12.1?Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.Chair: “Next on the agenda is Reading. Please read the following excerpt and proceed to the writing exercise for today. After you complete the writing exercise, go on to the math exercise. You have six minutes” READ THE FOLLOWING:Please read the following:The JAG “E” Competencies are about teamwork and leadership. There are five areas: E.26 Team membershipE.27 Team leadershipE.28 Public speakingE.29 Compete successfully with peersE.30 Demonstrate commitment to an organizationHigh school extracurricular activities and organizations (band, chorus, football team, yearbook staff, JAG Career Association, etc.) all provide team building experiences that are valuable for the rest of a student’s life. Practically every career involves people working with people. To be a successful professional, you need to know how to work with others. Parliamentary procedure is an important concept that gives you skills to interact with others in a considerate and efficient manner. You also must know how to be a member of a team. You need to develop leadership and followership skills. You ABSOLUTELY must be an accomplished public speaker. Successful team members understand how to compete with each other in a professional, win-win manner. And most of all, a team is only as good as the commitment of each member. What is a team? What happens when a group of people come together to get a job done? What are some of the skills that a team must have to be successful? When you are a member of a team, what are your responsibilities? Why are team leaders necessary? What would happen if a team had no leader? What would happen during a team activity if all members tried to lead at once? What if no one on the team could speak effectively in front of the team? What if team members placed themselves above the goals of the team? What if some members of the team were not committed to the goals of the team?We learned the Basic Skills (JAG “D” Competencies—listening, reading, writing, speaking and math) can be improved with consistent, daily practice. The same is true with team membership skills. Remember, Leaders are MADE not BORN ~ Vince Lombardi. Our mission in JAG is to help you to be good team members and good leaders. We will discuss it and practice it. You will improve if you accept responsibility for your future. A team is a group of people who work together towards a common goal or purpose. A team needs a leader. Sometimes leadership is shared among team members depending on the current team objective. Sometimes it is the quarter back, sometimes the running back, sometimes a defensive player who must lead the team. To arrive at a solution, the team must have loyalty and commitment to the common goal. Team members must be committed to each other. A team, as a whole, succeeds or fails together.D.23 Writing: College and Career Readiness Anchor Writing Power Standard . . .W10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purpose, and SS.ELA-Literacy.W.11-12.4?Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

CONTINUEDE.0 TEAM BUILDINGCONCENTRATIONPlayers stand in a circle and count off so that everyone has a number. Player one starts by calling out his own number and another number at random, for example, “One, four.” Then, player four calls out his number and another random number, for example, “Four, five.” After a few rounds to get the hang of it, another dimension is added to the game.Now the players must clap in unison, in four beat units. The first two beats are hand claps with beats three and four claps to the knees with both hands. During the first two hand claps is when the numbers are to be called out. The object of the game is to see how many pairs a group can get to before someone messes up, forgets their number, or the group is unable to clap in unison any longer. The game becomes challenging because while players are concentrating on listening to their numbers, the tendency is for the clapping to get faster, which means that they will have to call the numbers out faster, as well.Once they understand how to do it, ask students to set a goal: How many tries to get to 10 cycles?E.O TEAM BUILDINGBALL TOSSStart with all of the players in a circle, with one person holding a ball. The starter throws the ball to the person directly across from them. That student then throws the ball to the person to the left of the starter. Play continues the same way, which each person throwing the ball to the person to the left of the person they got the ball from, until all players have touched the ball.Now a pattern has been established, and the game starts. The ball will be thrown around the circle in the same way, with each person always getting the ball from the same person, and throwing the ball to the same person. Once the group has found its rhythm, add another ball into the mix without breaking the momentum. Add several more balls and see how long the group can go without dropping the ball. For an added challenge, use balls of varying sizes.Once they understand how to do it, ask students to set a goal: How many tries to get to 10 cycles?ASSESSMENT/REVIEW (REFLECTION / FEEDBACK)List the five JAG “E” Competencies:E.26 Team membershipE.27 Team leadershipE.28 Public speakingE.29 Compete successfully with peersE.30 Demonstrate commitment to an organizationHow can you mold yourself into a good team member?FINAL ?: CHECK-OUTWHAT WAS IT: What was the main point of today’s lesson?RATE IT: How important to your future do you feel today’s lesson was?RATE THE TEACHER: What was good--bad?RATE YOU: How well did you “listen”?How are you feeling now (inspired, thoughtful, happy, sleepy, other)? ................
