  Case: "Clicks"
As a teacher in an ESOL classroom, you see that your students are growing into small groups, or "clicks", based on their nationality. While they do share similarities, and find comfort in sharing those, it has turned into more. When trying to do group work, the students refuse to group together outside of their clicks, and arguments are beginning to stem between the two groups. How do you handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have a sit down with the two groups and have them discuss their similarities and differences to help bring the issues to the light. Find ways to connect them, have them discuss things they like, sports, cartoons, etc. and eventually, they will realize they have more in common than they allowed themselves to realize.
