Your teacher has assigned a group project report writing activity as part of the term work. You are allowed to select your topic and group members. Write your group project actions/events as per the five stages of team building.

Project: Group report on "Solar-powered Street Lighting for Our Campus" (group of four members). Actions at each of Tuckman's five stages:

1. Forming: Four classmates came together, introduced themselves and discussed their strengths. We were polite but unsure; we chose the topic, studied the teacher's guidelines and fixed the deadline. Roles were assigned tentatively – leader, researcher, writer, designer.
2. Storming: Disagreements arose over the scope of the topic, the division of work and meeting times; one member felt overloaded and another missed meetings. We discussed the issues openly, listened to each other and the leader mediated to resolve the conflicts.
3. Norming: We agreed on ground rules – two meetings a week, a shared Google Drive folder, a WhatsApp group for updates, and individual deadlines. Roles were finalised and members began trusting and supporting one another.
4. Performing: The team worked efficiently: data on solar panels and costs was collected, a campus survey was conducted, sections were drafted, edited for the 7 Cs, checked for plagiarism and compiled with diagrams and references. The report was submitted before the deadline.
5. Adjourning: After presenting the report and receiving feedback from the teacher, we reviewed what went well and what could improve, appreciated each member's contribution and formally closed the project.
