Team group! Cooperative-collaborative learning

Since the beginning of the school year, we have been working in groups. As we are 25 students in class, we are sitting in 5 teams of 4 members (there is just one group with 6 members). Each student has a duty in the group.

The dutties are:

BOOKS MONITOR: gives books to their classmates.
MATERIALS MONITOR: gives the material.
SILENCE MONITOR: has to ask for slience when the students are talking out of turn.
GROUP LEADER: the one who makes decisions and reports to the teacher the group decisions.

Groups were named bu number (group number one, group number two...), so we decided to give each group a NAME. The students chose a name, a COLOUR a SYMBOL a SONG and a DANCE that represents their team.

We were showing the dances in class one day. We had lots of fun!!! We have also made labels on the tables.

These are our groups in 1ºA!!
