Working In Groups

Whenever we work in groups, people are always assigned a job. Whenever we get to pick the jobs, I am always the editor. Being the editor is one of the most important jobs you can have. And if the editor doesn't do their job, people will end up reading the script and having no idea what it says. Even though most people don't want to be the editor, I like doing it. Honestly, I really don't care what job I get, but if I had to choose I would probably have chosen being the editor.

Whenever you are working with your friends, there can be many pros and cons. One of the pros is that you work together much better and are willing to listen to each other more. One of the cons is that it's also much easier to get side-tracked.

Whenever people are getting into a conflict, it really depends on what they are fighting about. For instance,  if two people are fighting about what color to make the props, I would just tell them that it really doesn't matter what color it is, because I don't think the teacher is going to bring our grade down because we used a color she didn't like. But if it was something more important than that, like a whole group fighting over a lead role, I would say that whoever is the  lead has one part, while everyone else gets two. In the end, it depends on what the conflict is about.

If someone was trying to take charge of our group and wasn't listening to my ideas, then I would probably just tell them to someone else, because if they didn't want to listen, there is still three other people in my group. Besides, we are all writing this together. When we made our story this time we just wrote down our ideas and tried to put all of them into the story.

I haven't really had many "difficult group situations", but I guess there was a time when we spent a lot of time picking our roles, and didn't have that much time to write our story.
