Using the safe classroom and constructive feedback information on page 27, develop feedback for the student in the following situations:

1) Violet is a member of your group for a class project.  She has a lot of creative ideas and is very enthusiastic but also has same trouble following through with actions.  She tends to get excited and may talk a lot but also tends to interrupt.  Provide feedback that:

2) Jim is a member of your group who has a lot of helpful ideas but also feels that only his ideas should be considered because he feels he has more experience than the other group members.

1)      Focuses of behavior rather than the person

2)      Focuses on direct observation rather than inferences

3)      Focuses on description rather than judgment

4)      Focuses on here and now or in the future rather than there and then

5)      Focuses on behavior in terms of more or less

6)      Focuses on sharing ideas rather than giving advice

7)      Focuses on the value it has to the receiver

8)      Gives feedback in small amounts

9)      Focuses on what the person can use.

10)  Is given at an appropriate time and place

11)  Uses clear ad concrete examples

12)  Uses “I” statements rather than “you” or “we”

Your group will role play providing feedback for these group members (2 separate role plays); each time, one student will be Violet or Jim and react to the feedback.

1)      Using the pictures provided, decide how you stop this dog and cat from fighting?  Develop a plan.

2)      Who has more power in the fight, the dog or cat?
