Small-Group Work for Sessi on I of Model Cities Training Program Elect group l e ader or spokesman Make list of names of participants Yt'\ t, ~-ff,~ l>~N Our work in groups of ten (10) has three purposes: 1) to help the participants to get better acquainted with each other; 2) to help them examine their own thoughts and feelings about the Model Cities program and their role as board members; 3) · to provide us as planners of the training program with information about the participants' knowledge, n e eds and attitudes regarding the Model Cities pr,ogram and the training program itself. The content of each group session will consist of consideration of three questions: 1) " S uppo se someone stopp e d you on the str e e t or conf ronted you i n a meeting with the question, "What m a kes you think you're qualified to be on the Model Cities board? 1 What would be your answer?" 2) "Suppa se w e gave each of you a $1, 000 gr ant, to be u s ed in any way you choo se , to b e tt e r p rep a r e your self for p arti cip ation in the M od e l C ities boa rd. H ow would you u se the m on e y ? 11 1 3) "Suppose that you people a re. the Mod e l Cities Bo ar d, and th at y o u were o ffere d the answe r s . to t hre e (and only three ) questions about the M ode l N e ighborhood A rea. What three q u es tion s w ould you as a B o ard ask? " T h e firs t t w o ques ti ons are to be answered b y e a c h .member of the group individually. (Group disc u ssion could fo llow the individual answers if that seems natural. ) The answer to the third question should be arrived at by consensus of the group. Total time available for the group discussion is 10 0 minutes, allowing about 30 minutes for consideration of each question. This is a flexible standard, however, and if a lively discussion develops around one question or another, the leader need not cut it off for the sake of covering all three questions. �
