5. 2 Truths and a Lie • Step 1: Write down 3 statements about yourself. Two should be true and one of them should be a lie. You have 5 minutes!! • Step 2: Take turns reading the 3 statements out loud. Vote on which is a lie, as the person reads all of the statements again. • Step 3: Ask the person to reveal the correct answer. Those who guessed correctly should mark their sheets for a correct guess. • Step 4: Once the groups are done, we will continue around the room, having each person read his statement and then we will vote. Mark down each time you make a correct guess. • Step 5: How many correct guesses did you have? The person with the most correct guesses at the end has won the game.

6. 5 Stages of Group Development Bruce Tuckman (1965) developed the 4-stage model of group development.  He labeled the stages in an easy to recall, Dr Seuss-style. 10 years later, he added the 5th stage. 1. Forming: The group comes together and gets to initially know one other and form as a group. 2. Storming: Fighting for leadership & trial of group methods 3. Norming: Agreement is reached on how to operate 4. Performing: The group becomes effective in meeting its objectives and demonstrates its work 5. Adjourning: The process of "unforming" the group, that is, letting go of the group structure and moving on.
