Describe your role in the planning and implementation of the group task: I offered many ideas during our group brainstorming sessions; I gave input on what issues within the chapter we should focus on for the “role play” segment, and what terms within the chapter would be best to prompt thought and discussion during the presentation. I also wrote the chapter summary and made the group handout.
