How can she address this problem without singling these students out? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I like the idea of giving each student a specific role that has to be completed by the end of the group session. Assign a reflection for each role so they have an individual aspect to the group work. Make sure you are walking around the classroom frequently and redirecting them when they are off topic. Set time restraints on group assignments so they don't feel they can stay distracted for long.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Giving each student a job is a great idea! it gives all students a responsibility and makes it harder to them to stay off topic.
