Part I.<\/p>\n

Watch a prime time
\ntelevision show (or rerun) in which the episode focuses on a group of people
\nwho are talking to each other in formal or informal meetings as the context for
\nthe show. You may choose from the following: The Office, Law & Order, the
\nShield, 24, The Unit, or reruns of shows such as Friends, Seinfeld, or Everyone
\nLoves Raymond. If you would like to use a different show, send a message to
\nyour instructor to get approval for your choice. Take notes while you watch the
\nshow so that you can notice and recall who played group task roles, group
\nmaintenance roles, and any self-centered roles. Your notes in Part I should be
\nintegrated into your answers to the assignment questions in Part II.<\/p>\n

Note: This assignment is
\nnot referring to communication that occurs because of people\u2019s personalities or
\njob skills. Please refer to Figure 9.1 in your textbook for specific group
\ncommunication roles.<\/p>\n

If the show you have
\nselected does not give you an opportunity to observe a small group working
\ntogether in the particular episode you have chosen, please choose another
\nepisode or show. It will be difficult for you to answer the questions well if
\nthe show does not match the purpose of this assignment. However, you can
\ndiscuss poor examples of group communication roles as well as good examples and
\nshow your learning. You do not have to find only good examples of group
\ncommunication roles. If you cannot find a show with a group of people who are
\nvery clearly in a small group communication situation, then you may need to
\ndiscuss a real-life group of people who are communicating with each other in a
\nsmall group situation.<\/p>\n

Part II.<\/p>\n

Read the following
\nquestions. Write the answers to the questions, review your work, and submit
\nyour answers. Integrate the key concepts and key terms from this lesson into
\nyour answers.<\/p>\n

The answer to each
\nquestion should be approximately 6 to 10 sentences in length. You should write
\nyour responses in complete sentences free of spelling and grammatical errors.
\nPlease type your answers in a Word document and then paste your answers below
\neach question in the space provided.<\/p>\n
