Purpose Statement: This blog post shares the Group Charter that my Writing 310 group made for our project.
In my Writing 310 class, we are currently doing a group project that will span the rest of the semester. Since group work often comes with so many issues and problems, one of our assignments was to sit together as a group, figure out those problems and some solutions, and write out a “Group Charter” that we would all sign our names under in order to make sure that all the work would be done and everyone would be on the same page.
OUR CONTRACT:
Our group agrees to extend grace to each other, and work around each others’ schedules. College life is busy, especially with a pandemic going on, but we will do our best to make sure everyone can attend meetings. We agree to communicate with each other effectively, whether through email or text, and say whether we can come to a scheduled meeting/appointment or not. We will divide roles and work equally, and make sure that everyone has a chance to speak. If we have problems, the first step is to talk it out individually or with the rest of the group. The next step is to go to the instructor, who can step in if necessary. If someone doesn’t do their part of the work and doesn’t communicate, even when reached out to, then the work is reassigned and the person who failed to communicate forfeits their part of the work, and therefore their part in the grade.
