= **Group Constitution** =

**Forward:** This contract is a binding document and governs the group until the assigned project deadlines. If the group separates, or a member is fired, the basic contract laws remain intact for both parties. However, being fired may cause work responsibilities to shift.

**Article I: Absence Policy**

In the event that someone in the group is absent from class, all other team members must help with the work. If team members refuse then it is necessary to go to Mr. Nilsen with the issue.

**Article II: Work Policy**

a. Each group member will work to the best of their ability, completing work that is up to standards with punctuality.

b. If a group member commits plagiarism, they are solely responsible and incur the punishment on their own.

c. To reduce the amount of time the group may need to work outside of class on this project, each group member commits to complete focus on this problem while in class.

**Article III: Leadership**

a. At the beginning of the project, a leader will be voted upon democratically. If a group member is absent at the time of voting, they waive their right to participate in voting. The person who wins the most votes becomes the leader. If there is an unclear outcome (same number of votes for different people), the group will have no leader until one can be chosen by a revote. b. By being elected leader, the person must perform the following duties:

1. Organize group meetings. 2. Create and enforce a group agenda to govern group progress. This must be updated daily showing what each student is working on and shared with the group and Mr. Nilsen via the Wikispace your group creates. 3. Organize any out of school project efforts. 4. Provide communication between group members in order to help individuals work towards the project goal.

If they fail to perform these duties, or another person is also carrying them out, a majority must choose whether or not to demote them and to vote for a new leader.

c. If a leader fulfills his or her duties, they will receive five extra credit leadership points at the end of the projects. The current group leader will receive these points, regardless of how long they lead the group. If no leader has been assigned, a majority vote will decide who receives the leadership points.

**Article IV: Work Ethics**

a. If a group member does not complete work they were assigned, their actions will be met with consequence and the possibility of being taken out of the group.

b. At the end of this project hard working people will be selected by the majority to be given a two point bonus for their achievements and support during the project.

**Article V: Member Dismissal**

In the event that someone has not done their work, they will be warned twice and after each warning will have to meet with Mr. Nilsen. In the event that this same person happens to continue and for a third time be caught, they will be taken out of the group.

**Article VI: Signature** By signing this contract the following group members abide to the articles above. If any member fails to abide by the articles of this contract, they may be fired from the group, as outlined in Article V above.
