  Activities to demonstrate the behaviours that show co-operation & collaboration to achieve a purpose:      

  Radio Program:

• Put together a radio interview program in which you talk to an "expert" or several "experts" about why co-operating and collaborating are important in order to be successful.
• Interview people (coaches, teachers, parents, team members...) who would know something about why working co-operatively and collaboratively would be important.
• Use Audacity to edit the interview(s) by:
  • cutting out anything that doesn't fit
  • adding music / sound effects
  • adding a title & music to the beginning and end of the program
  • adding names and locations of "callers" into the show
• Length:  5 minutes or less

  Cartoon Collaboration:

• Create a cartoon in which you show people working or playing together. 

1. One half should show characters successfully cooperating or collaborating.
2. The other side should show characters having difficulties cooperating or collaborating.
