f. Facilitation style and what makes that style effective vs. ineffective.
2. Identify 5 skills that are effective and describe their efficacy. Also describe 3 skills that if used ineffectively would negatively impact the group.
3. Process recording. Divide your paper into three columns.
a. In the left column, type a sample transcript of the introduction, middle or
closing segment of the group dialogue.
b. In the middle column, next to the dialogue, label in BOLD TYPE the skill
that you would demonstrate, e.g. Questioning (based on the skills you

c. In the third column, describe any challenges that might occur. In other
words, how do you anticipate the individual(s) will respond? How would
you respond?
4. In regular paragraph format, provide an analysis of the overall efficacy of this type
of group. You MUST cite peer reviewed sources to satisfactorily respond to this question.
