A county elections trainer meets a brand-new group of poll workers who have not yet agreed on roles or ground rules. The workbook's capstone is a full mock precinct. What should the instructor do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You would not start a pickup team's first huddle with a full game if nobody knows positions yet. New election judges need norms before a mock precinct that depends on everyone. Build the group, then run the high-interdependence drill.
Full Explanation
Group development phases should inform activity choice. A full mock precinct is a performing-stage, high-interdependence task; a newly assembled group still needs norms and simpler collaboration first. Launching the capstone immediately, converting the day to lecture, or converting the mock into solo homework ignores how groups become able to work together.
