Roles
When thinking about the main task role that I played, I would have to say it is the energizer. Everyone in our group has has been very positive towards each other at all times and very focused on motivating others around us, but I feel that this was definitely my group role. I was constantly giving positive comments to people in my group and their ideas. Even though one of my group task roles was the energizer, I was more than just a “team cheerleader.” I was also the elaborator in my group because I feel that I have great with helping explain ideas or certain projects that we were required to do.

There were a lot more advantages in our groups then there were
