Our Class is broken into groups.
Groups set their own ground rules; there are informal group evaluations. We will have formal group evaluations (after the first project, and the end).
Roles
In your groups and amongst yourselves, decide on the following roles for the group.
Recorder writes down group's priority and learning issues, keeps their 'notebook' including each successive draft.
Reporter offer's the group's contribution to the whole class, hands in group's assignment.
Each of these functions rotates amongst the members of the group as we cycle through assignments.
It thus makes sense for the Reporter and/or Recorder to bring their laptop(s) to the class.
