One day in class, students were asked to work in groups to complete an activity. One group had difficulty getting started because everyone was confused about the instructions and no one wanted to take the lead. Some students became distracted and started talking about unrelated topics, which caused the group to lose time. One student noticed this and was worried that the group would fall behind. The student asked the teacher to repeat the instructions and then explained them clearly to the group. The student also suggested dividing the work so each person had a small role. The group followed this plan, stayed focused, and completed the activity on time. Later, the teacher commented that the group worked well together.
In the STAR method, what is the Task in this situation?
The group needed to understand the instructions and organize themselves so they could complete the activity on time.
