  Case: Clique
I have one student who is always wanting to hang with her best friend in the class but she is rude and gets an attitude when other girls also want to hangout with them. She is always trying to leave other girls out and they get hurt. How could I handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When working with students that want to pick their groups and or partners, I've learned that the Jigsaw method of grouping them works well. You can have them do the first part of the activity in the group that they are already in. After they've completed this first part, go around the room and point to each student. When you point to the student, they each count one number starting with 1 to 4. They then split up and reorganized into the corresponding number. In other words, all the 1s get together, all the 2s and so on.

Comments: The jigsaw method is a great way to introduce students to each other. It minimizes time for cliques because all students work with each other. I would also use the same solution to this problem.

Comments: I love the idea of the jigsaw method and grouping the students with children instead of the same ones all the time. Also making sure they are friendly to their classmates is important. The teacher needs to have a discussion with all the children about the importance of being nice.

Comments: I think that this solution would be really helpful. Having the students do the first part of an assignment in the group of their choice and then having the students break up into different groups for the second part of the assignment can allow for the students to meet new people. This is also a great way to keep from the same students working together all the time.
