Comment on such areas as: group roles, norms, themes and patterns, pressures to conform, cohesiveness, leadership functions, communication patterns, etc. Besides indicating what happened each week you are integrating the information to explain the progress your group as indicted by the lecture and readings.

Analysis Journal:

There will be three (3) journals for the course that will focus on analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of concepts. While engaging in the small group activity, particular attention should be paid to the group dynamics that occur. You are each asked to keep a journal of your reactions and observations in regards to your experience of our in-class group. Record this information in the group activity journals. In the journal, indicate/discuss your role as a 1) participant and 2) co- facilitator 3) solo facilitator. The 1st section, Reactions (3 points), will focus on what you did, thought, and felt in the counseling sessions. Document what happened, who said what etc. (this is where the video recording will assist you). Use the “I” pronoun and address what went on inside you personally.

Hopefully, it will help you to re-evaluate each session and your sense of personal progress. The 2nd part of the journal will address Group Processes (7 points). You are asked to comment on such areas as: group roles, norms, themes and patterns, pressures to conform, cohesiveness, leadership functions, communication patterns, etc. Besides indicating what happened each week you are integrating the information to explain the progress your group as indicted by the lecture and readings. It is not necessary to include the names of your group members as you write this paper.
