| The "Jig Saw" Approach |
|
In order to make sure everyone in the group does their fair share of work, the teacher can set specific tasks for each member to do. It is only when all these tasks are complete that the project can be completed. The pieces fit together like a jig-saw puzzle. More experienced or older groups can divide the labour themselves – with novice or younger groups, it is probably wise for the teacher to assign the tasks.
Specialist roles (learners performing a certain function in the group) in each group could meet and collaborate in specialist groups.
