REGINA. Hi, everyone. Today we are here to make some decisions about the homecoming dance. Most importantly, we need to pick a t
heme and a location. I know you came prepared with suggestions and ideas, so let’s begin with location. Angel? ANGEL. So, our budget for the dance is $2,500—this includes the money we raised during the car wash last week. It will have to pay for the entertainment, the space, decorations, and refreshments.
[LOLA raises her hand to be recognized.]
REGINA. Yes, Lola?
LOLA. I was thinking that the school gym might be the most cost-effective option. We don’t have to spend money on the venue and can put the money into the decorations instead to really transform it. I compared venues across town, and many of them would cost between $500 and $1,200 to rent for one night.
DONNIE. That’s a stu pid idea. Who wants to have it in the gym? How d umb and boring. We should have it at that fancy hotel downtown.
How should Donnie adjust his behavior to be more appropriate for a group discussion? Check all that apply.
He should remind the group of the rules.
He should ask a question for clarification.
He should work to keep the group on task.
He should speak in a more respectful tone.
He should present his idea with supporting facts.
He should take notes to address Lola’s point later.
