It is important that each group find ways to include each and every member of their group in the work and presentations. This will be an important part of the grade assigned to each group.
Each team will receive a group grade that reflects the cooperation, enthusiasm, innovation, and achievement of the entire group. That team grade will become part of each team member’s final grade.
The first Team activity will be a group report on portions of the assigned book: Between Hope and Fear. This will be a 15 minute discussion of the portion you are assigned, giving a synopsis and evaluation “from your viewpoint” of what the authors say about college age students.
The second Team activity will be work on the Hard Choices Exercise. There will be time to read the background material and work together to solve the Exercise. On the last day at the Baca each Team will report on its solution to the Exercise.
