One student refused to work with another, so he was given the choice of either working with the student and being able to use a computer to complete their project, or he could do the project by himself on paper. The student chose to work by himself. The next class period I had pulled him for small group. He refused to participate because he was sad that he couldn't work with who he wanted. On top of that the student he didn't want to work with was in the small group too. I tried talking about how that wasn't very nice to say that, but he continued to mope for the entire lesson. Could I have done anything differently? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is important to let the student know that this time is meant for learning purposes and not for social purposes, exclusively. This time is meant for students to learn from other students. Different students have different perspectives, which may help that student out in the long run.
