Group work day

Last Tuesday in class we did something different from what we usually do. We divided the class in groups, with about 3-5 people in each of them. Our teacher had made a list of assignments for each group to complete. Some of the groups were connected together in a way that made them co-operate. For instance; one group found the facts, then the next group wrote notes for the rest of the class, then a third group used the notes to make a glogster.

In one way it worked. At least for me. I wrote about the American Government and how the power is divided in the three branches. So I learned a lot about that. But I have no idea what Anne Sofie wrote, unless I read her notes(which probably does not take that much time), but for the other groups who didn't write any notes, it will take some time to learn all the five pages of notes my group wrote. And when you write the notes yourself, you learn it way better. You have to concentrate to find out the exactly fact then write down our own sentence.

So all the other groups that didn't write anything, will have a lot more work to do before the test, because they didn't do the same work as for instance, I did. To do this in a different way we could have made the all the groups write notes. Then all the members in the groups could tell the rest of the group about their notes after writing them. Then everyone would know a little bit about all the material.
