Elevator Model:
Relational Development Proceeds in Discernible Stages:
- I will number you off from 1-11 (Get with those people)
- Search YouTube for Music Videos that match the stage that you have been assigned.
- You will want to choose about a 30 second clip of the song that represents the stage the best.
- After you have finished, come up to the computer and find your music video. (open in new tab) Don’t close out of the window.
- You will then have a representative from your group describe the music video, play the music video, and say why that song fits into that category.
- We will discuss after everyone has presented their song!
