Tuckman's Stages


Clip 1: Norming
This is seen in the unity displayed by a group to the point that they will take on extra work when they are not required to.

Clip 2: Adjourning
The joy mixed with sadness is a sublime emotion. Genie is excited yet mournful at the conclusion of his adventure.  The ending usually shows how close ties are and is accompanied with feelings of sadness.

Clip 3: Storming
The conflict between ideas is very clearly present as two teammates argue over the way the other is behaving. This conflict matches the idea of storming perfectly.

Clip 4: Performing
To me performing is like the climax of a book. This is what the group has been working for so they must collaborate and produce.

This leaves Forming which I think is perhaps exemplified in the following video:


So this is called "Where the Hell is Matt?" and it show how global formation of groups can happen so easily! It starts with his silly dance move and turns into something that is powerful and unifying. If this is the stage in which one fels optimism and excitement then this video is it. It's a bunch of people letting themselves be silly with a bunch of strangers. If that's not formation, then what is?

Loved the video. We had almost all of the same match ups, except for clips 1 and 5, but I can see why the first clip was norming. I debated between forming and norming but ended up choosing forming. See you Wednesday!

I love this video. My neighbor showed it to me a few years ago. It definitely shows forming and how people can be unified all over the world.

I remember when "Where the Hell is Matt?!" was first a thing. I really need to think of something like that to get people to give me funding to travel. That would be nice.

Good choice, though, really. I think it lines up well.
