Give your ideas and opinions. 🟪 It’s important to let other group members know what you think. When you like someone’s idea, say so! Also say so when you don’t. But don’t say, “That’s a bad idea!” Say, “I don’t think that will work because . . . ” (When you give your opinion, give your reasons, too.)

Be willing to change your opinions. 🟪 Listen to everyone’s opinions with an open mind. Remember that you are trying to reach a decision everyone agrees with.
