A. Planning an activity using the activity template
* Devise an open activity where groups have a shared goal and where outcomes may differ between groups, for a lesson you are teaching next week
* Decide group size and how you will formulate (mixed pace) groups (look back at documents from [[OER4Schools/3.2_Supporting_reasoning_and_managing_groupwork|Session 3.2]])?
* How will you ensure everyone participates and everyone learns? How will you stretch all learners?
* '''Explicitly ask groups to make sure everyone understands the new concept or process; make it their responsibility to support each other and check this is happening.'''
* Assign different roles within the group...
B. Remember to keep up the '''typing tutor''' practice too!

Try out your groupwork with ICT. Video some of the groupwork if you can (ideally a colleague can do this for you so they can capture you as well as the pupils) and upload it to the server.


Teach the lesson.
Remember to think about your own role in the classroom; it is not just to monitor progress but also to interact with pupils, assess their understanding, offer support and help move their thinking forward. Sometimes a group will even need you to sit with them and offer intensive support to progress. Think about how you can identify this need?
