How do you demonstrate your cooperation?

1. When given the opportunity I offer to take responsibility for the portion of the project/assignment where my skills, talents and/or knowledge can be utilized.
2. When assigned a specific role or task, I ask what is expected of me to successfully complete my part of the project.
3. I listen to the ideas from the other members of the project to understand how my task will enhance what they are to do.
4. I encourage my partners or team members and assist them is anyway that I can to be sure we complete the assigned task, and by the appointed time.
5. By working cooperatively, we can often accomplish more in the same amount of time than when working alone.
6. When working with others to complete a project from which we all benefit, I feel good about myself.

Suggested Home Activities:

1. Have family members make a cooperation chart for home. Talk about what chores need to be done and who can work together to get each chore accomplished. List all the ways the family benefits from COOPERATING to complete the listed chores.
2. Have students make a cooperation collage using magazine pictures or illustrations drawn by students. They can also cut out or write words instead of using pictures, such as “share,” “work together,” “talk it over,” “take turns, “ etc.
