Cooperative+groups


 * In this project we're working in cooperative groups. For my handouts for students I took the information from a document published in the web by ** Diane Théorêt CSDGS **//ESL Cooperative Learning Rolecards//**.[|ESL_cooperative_learning_role_cards.doc]

**Step 1: Students are first given a handout [|Think_over_group_work.doc] to think over the difference between working individually and in groups.** Step 3: New groups of students are made. All As sit together all Bs sit together, etc. Each group is given a handout with the information on a role (A: Facilitator; B, Secretary, etc.) [|roles_responsibilities.doc]
 * Step 2: Students are divided in groups of four. Each member of the group is given a letter A, B, C or D.

Step 4: Students go back to their original groups, so that in each group there is an A + B + C + D. Each member-letter tells the information that was on his/her role-cards. Students have to answer to questions in a sheet. [|roles_quiz.doc]

Step 5: Answers are put together in class and now students decide their role in the group with the help of the teacher.[|cooperative_groups_flashbacks.doc]
