An in-class activity was chosen for TP 1 as it is an interactive way to reinforce self-introductions and to provoke thought and stimulate interest among cadets.

A group discussion was chosen for TP2 as it allows the cadets to interact with their peers and share their knowledge, opinions and feelings about self-introductions.

The cadet shall introduce themselves to the group.

Communication is an important aspect of leadership. Being able to communicate with other members of the group and the leader will lead to successful completion of tasks. Starting with a short, informal introduction will give the cadets confidence to start developing their communication skills.

Effective communication skills are key to any successful group or team and are an important factor in becoming an effective leader. A leader who can communicate effectively with the team will move the team towards a positive outcome.

Communication works in both directions. When one person is delivering a message, the team members must be listening to ensure they receive the message correctly. Part of becoming a leader is developing good listening skills. Team members should feel comfortable enough to bring forth ideas to the leader and feel that their ideas are heard and taken into account.

The objective of this activity is to have each of the cadets present themselves to the class.

If the class is big, divide the group into smaller groups and use assistant instructors to facilitate the introductions.

1.Have each cadet stand in front of the class and present a short introduction.

2.The introduction should include information such as:

3.Write this list on the board for the cadets to reference during the introduction.

4.Give the cadets two minutes to write some notes to use during the introduction.

5.Each introduction should be no more then two minutes in length.
