  Case: Group V. Solo
Know how I learned during my schooling group work for me was always more boring and frustrating then anything else and in many cases i would have happily worked by myself had I been given the option. As I am going to be teaching I was wanting to how to make group work feel good to be a part of for things like social learning but also offer the chance to those who want to work along or if this is even possible.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While some students do prefer to work individually, it is important for them to learn how to work well with others. You could try assigning each group member a role. This can help eliminate some of the frustration of students not doing their part so that the teacher knows which student did not participate and can grade accordingly.

Comments: This is a good perspective that kids have to learn to work together. And it is true because as you grow up, you really don't have a choice on working alone or together in life.

Comments: I would also do this if i was teaching in a classroom. Assigning each person in a group a job or task to do would ensure that everyone in the group participates and not one person is stuck doing all the work. Learning to work within a group is an important skill set that students must learn.

Comments: Work individually is pretty great, but now and days the school wants to see more and more of group and problem solving among their peer which is why assigning tasks is a great to kind of feel like your still working by yourself but your also still in a group setting.
