  This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.

Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.

Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.

This is a good article about the norms on a team work. Each member of the team has to be committed to do their own part and pay attention to the content. This article also includes how member should interact and it provides guidelines for the group to follow.

TWC 301 Team Writing Part 1

shared by Heather Groen on 21 Feb 12 - No Cached

Heather Groen on 21 Feb 12

This website offers suggestions made by actual students on "surviving" and "thriving" in a group project environment. One student reiterates Team Writing by suggesting the use of a team charter. A "kick-out" clause is included here, which clear states the consequences if someone does not attend meetings or does his or her work. Other students bring up being open-minded about criticism from other team members and listening to their advice. However, this site recommends assigning roles based on the members' strengths, not on what they would like to learn. I suppose it depends on the deadline and complexity of the project.

D#8HW#2:Guide for Working in Teams - 0 views

www.analytictech.com/...teamhint.htm

shared by Hector Garcia on 29 Feb 12 - Cached

This may sound elementary, but many teams screw this up. One thing you will eventually learn is that team members have very different abilities, motivations and personalities. For example, there will be some team members that are totally involved, and others that just want to disappear. If you let people disappear, they become dead weight and a source of resentment and frustration. You must not let this happen!

One of the first things you should do as a group is make sure everybody knows everybody's name. Don't just introduce yourselves once because some people will immediately forget the names or never quite hear them the first time. So make sure that everyone has written down everybody's name. Then go on to talk about each other -- what major, where you live on campus, who you know, etc.
...

Cancel
If the word "vision" makes you want to puke, think instead "what are we really trying to accomplish? Besides the explicit tasks, what are our real goals?". For example, for a class team, does the team want to do whatever it takes to get an A? Or is having a comfortable workload more important? Does the team want to really get involved with each other socially, or keep interactions to just what's required to do the work? Does the team want an atmosphere of military efficiency, or do they want to horse around and have a good time?

So you should designate someone to play that role. However, you don't need to make the leader omnipotent.

Meetings can be useless if not done right. One simple thing that helps a lot is having an agenda. Having a written agenda makes it easier for the facilitator to steer things back to the task.

I think an important part of part 2 of Team Writing is constructive conflict. I thought this website was useful because it provided the reader with the benefits of constructive conflict. I have taking a course called Organizational Behavior and they also stress that constructive conflict is important in a team. I also think it goes well with the team project we are working on now.

Of the top ten methods listed, I believe that creating a common, shared team goal, and promoting interdependency are the two most valuable methods to work as a cohesive group. This page gives many details about each method that can improve teamwork and the ultimate project that the team is working on.

Team diversity through this website deals with the positives of multicultural groups. Being able to sell products globally creates teams that are multicultural. Although differences may arise due to cultural backgrounds, the key is to accept these differences and use them to your benefit.
