Let's Watch Once More!

Group 3 - Cooperative Lesson

This was Group 3's last lesson and it was one of my favorites. Students had the chance to make their own businesses. They had to make decisions, work with money, and create a final poster with all their information. 

One aspect of the lesson that I enjoyed was that they reviewed all the jobs that students need to do. They also assigned students their jobs which sped up the process because student's were not arguing about who would do what. 

I also liked how groups were practicing what they were going to say before they went up in front of the whole class. This helped the students be more prepared when they had to present. 

One final thing that I really enjoyed was that the students had a chance to evaluate how they worked in their groups. They were given a sheet of paper and they had to identify things they did well and thing they could have improved on. 

If I had to change one aspect of the lesson I would have tried to enforce student jobs a bit more. I noticed that some students were doing other student jobs or some jobs were not being done. For example the timekeeper, this was a hard job to do without a timer. The use of a timer on the board would have been very helpful, but this was something that other groups could have done as well. 

Great Job Group 3! I really enjoyed observing your lessons, they were all very well done!!
