agree? What would they add to it?
Groups then go through the worksheet onthe reading and try to find sentences in
each of the sections that demonstrate
fronting, clefting, and inversion. They thentry to see if they fit any of the categories stillwritten on the whiteboard. Do they fit or dothe categories need refining or additions?
The class then discusses the sentencesthey found and try to decide what type of
fronting they are. The students are thenshown the different categories that thethree types are normally used in. They thencompare their categories with the new
categories. Do they match up well? What
categories would the sentences they found
in the reading match up w ith?
Each group is then given a set of customer
service situations and they must write
appropriate fronting sentences. They writethose sentences under the category title
they believe that it best fits. They must writeat least two sentences for each frontingtype and mark what type on the sheet.
Groups then exchange and correct eachothers sheets. The sheets are then

CHAPTER 8 - TEAMWORKThe Actors Make the Cast
You have five seconds to enjoy it, and then you remember who you didn t thank. HELEN HUNT
[Section A] After three nights of Mitch flubbing his lines and missing his cues, thecast members are grumbling about having to pull his weight. The rest of us know our
lines. Why should we have to cue him all the time? Yeah, why isnt Bob doing anything
about it? It isnt right. Each of us is responsible for our part except for Mitch. He just
doesnt seem to care. Bob asks the cast to stay for a short meeting. Everyone, except
Mitch, gathers backstage. First,I want to thank you for the great job you ve done so far. I
also want to thank each of you for helping Mitch. I hoped that he could pull things
together by now, but he hasnt been able to. Before talking to you, I asked Mitch if it was
all right for me to share what s going on, and its OK with him. Right before our first
performance, he found out that his sister has been diagnosed with a serious illness and
will require a lot of care. You and the rest of the cast immediately go from griping to
concern for Mitch and his sister. This changes the whole picture. Mitch didn t want to
say or do anything to upset the play, and he wants to stay with the production. I m
confident that once he works through this problem, he ll perform as he did in rehearsals.
Im sharing this news with you because its not right for you to wonder whats going on.We need to stick together as a team and help Mitch through this tough time. All of you
assure Bob that you will do whatever it takes to help Mitch.
[Section B]Bob shared Mitchs news with the cast because he sensed the memberswere becoming disgruntled for doing more than their share. Can you imagine, if Bob had not said
anything? The entire production would have suffered because the actors were tired of Mitchs
poor performance. Not only did Bob share the news with the cast, he thanked them for helping
Mitch. He stressed the importance of working together to assist Mitch until he gets back ontrack. Because Bob communicated the news to the group and stressed the need for teamwork, the

Sentence Focus type Reason
After three nights of Mitch flubbing his lines and missing his
cues, the cast members are grumbling about having to pull
his weight
Before talking to you, I asked Mitch if it was all right for me
to share whats going on, and its OK with him.
Right before our first performance, he found out that his
sister has been diagnosed with a serious illness and will
require a lot of care.
Not only did Bob share the news with the cast, he thanked
them for helping Mitch.
Because Bob communicated the news to the group and
stressed the need for teamwork, the actors were willing to
pull together.
It is true that two can do it better than one, as long as the twoare working toward the same goals.
As a customer service star, you can ensure all of you are
working toward the same goals by developing your group into
a united team, one in which everyone works together,
supports each other, and strives to achieve the team goals.
