In one group, only two members were participating while the other 4 did nothing. Time is ticking and the project due date is quickly approaching. The two participating members of the group have expressed to the teacher their frustrations with the lazy group members. They have tried reaching out to the lazy group members, but they are still not participating. What should the teacher do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would at this point give the participating members an altered way to finish the project if necessary and then instruction the four girls that they would now have to do the project by them selves. Make sure that the group was not being punished but that you thought this would produce better results from the 6 students
