Make a list of the groups and teams of which you are a member. Using the definitions of small group communication and a team from the discussion of the differences between a group and a team on pages 202–204, place your groups and teams on a continuum with those entities that are more like a group at the top of your list and those gatherings that are more like a team at the bottom of your list. Explain why your groups are groups and your teams are teams according to the distinctions made in the chapter. How many of the characteristics of effective teams and effective team members are illustrated by the teams of which you are a member?
