Teamwork in the Classroom !

Throughout all of group one's lesson plans they had great time management skills ! and they did not fail to manage time during their cooperative lesson plan. When my group teaches next I hope we can manage our time just as well. Today when the teachers taught I did not really like their video because I did not see how it related to being a pre-assessment. For the purposes of todays activities I like how group one shared a poem on teamwork rather than just going through the team work rules. There were two task and each group was given one of the task. Group one and three wrote a poem and group tow and four created their own Bill of Rights. Each group was given time to present their poem or bill of rights. It was obvious that the groups really enjoyed this lesson ! Group three wrote a rap rather than poem to and it was amazing !! In regards to the group dynamics's while they were working I think group one did a great job managing their time and classroom; they pre-assigned roles for the students in the groups and they also went over rules for when the students are presenting. In addition group one did a great job keeping everyone busy. When there was a group presenting the other groups of students had to fill out an evaluation form which also made sure that the other groups were paying attention to the presenting groups. Group one did a great job teaching and they really set the bar high !

Next week MY group will be teaching ! I am so excited for everyone to see what the 

Social Studies Superstars 

 have in planned !
