Recall the last time you worked or studied in a group. describe, in detail, the stages your group went through as it developed, and the specific role(s) that you played in the dynamics of the group.

We were making a plan for the organization's schedule of activities. There were nine of us, all ladies. When we arrived at the venue, we had small talk in two or three groups until all the expected participants arrived. The presider laid out the agenda and continued to discuss each item. When I saw that my team mates could not take notes easily, I volunteered to write the points on the board so that they could copy the items that concern each of them. The commitment of each person to attend the activities was verified by letting them suggest or state their opinion. The meeting ended with majority of the ladies agreeing on major issues. I feel that if I did not volunteer, the meeting could not have ended on time.
