week 16 D1- Group Observation Project

For my Group observation project, I observed the Pioneer High School’s Service Learning Leadership class. I was able to go to their class and sit in a couple of times. I noticed that they do many things for the school and service related projects.  I believe this was a useful exercise, since I was able to see firsthand some communication concepts that we had learned. I learned about the way small groups work, and how you can cut down a group of people into smaller groups, and they work great as well. I was able to see how different groups in the class worked together on their projects and how everyone was engaged and worked well together. One thing that stuck out to me was the diversity of the class. Even though the class was very female heavy, and about a handful of males, the class was very diverse.  I think diversity is a good thing for groups and it helps with ideas that might have been over looked. I think the part that was the best about this project was, I learned things that I didn’t know before about service learning. I was also about to see concepts and how they play out, and that helped me with learning and understanding more about the concepts. I don’t think anything can be improved for this project, I enjoyed doing it and believe that I got a lot out of it also.
