Task #5: Establishing Our Group Norms Please read pages 102-107 and 210-212. When we meet in August, we will create our norms together, using the process on page 210. Print a copy of page 211 to make notes for yourself and bring that to the meeting.

Recorder needed! It will streamline our time together if we have a volunteer to be the recorder. The recorder will compile our proposed norms and publish the final document of the norms we adopt. The recorder will also take minutes for the share session.
