Assignment: Storytelling/Group Fractured Fairy Tale
Rational
To participate in a small group process and experience group interaction principles including; decision making, consensus, brainstorming, leadership functions/styles, and agenda setting and apply them to achieve a successful, positive group experience.
Criteria
In a small group consisting of 5-6 members you will be asked to present a Fractured Fairy Tale. Each Storytelling member must have 2 minutes of dialogue. The group will utilize the brainstorming method to create a list of potential Fairy Tales. (Ex. Classic Grimm's, Disney, Hans Christian Anderson, and Charles Perrault etc.) The group will then use consensus to come to their final decision. Group members should note whether the leadership is implied, emergent, or designated, authoritarian, democratic, or laissez-faire. You will need to set an agenda in order to achieve your goals in a timely fashion.
Creativity is strongly encouraged!
