At the end of this activity, students should be better able to (select as many as apply):
compromise
create win-win situations
Divide the class into groups of 5 to 6.
Distribute worksheets/assignmen that students are meant to complete.
Tell the students that each student has to individually complete the worksheet/assignment. However, they can work as a group to do this.
They have 3 choices on how they can do this:
(1) Divide the work up equally amongst the group members. Each member completes their part and the others copy from them.
(2) Discuss the question(s) before starting the work. Clarify doubts with each other. Then each student completes their own worksheet/assignment.
(3) Do the worksheet/assignment together one step at a time.
Before they start work, tell them there are two things they have to remember.
(1) There is a strict time limit and they will have to submit what they have done at the end of it, no matter how much they have completed.
(2) They will score not the points they received individually, but an average of the points received by all group members
25 MINUTES
None
Students within the groups will have different preferences on how they would like to work together and forcing them to pick one style over another is a lesson in compromise. Who gives in? What does the person who gives in get in return?
Because a student’s score is directly dependant on the scores of their group mates, they need to ensure not only their own success, but the success of their peers. This encourages thinking in a win-win way
