There are 30 cards with some creative writing tasks. These cards can be used for the fast finishers as a quick filler when the lesson you planed finishes earlier than expected as a creative writing activity I have a plastic envelope that I put these cards to be used whenever needed. Sometimes I ask my students to write on word and e-mail me after I correct them and I compile them in a bundle and give them as a Creative Class Memories. They can even be compiled on the bulletin boards. I hop
When you tell your students “You three work together”, there will probably be some among the majority who will complain and tell that they don’t want to work with A or B in that group. They will sulk, they won’t contribute, isolate themselves or even worse they won’t let the other members work. However; if you do it randomly, and if you use a different technique from time to time, the complaints will be less. I’d like to share some of the methods I use to group or pair my students.
