Case: Know it all
Every class has one: a "know it all." Well, in class I had a student who thought she was the gift to the classroom and knew absolutely everything about everything. We were doing a pair share activity and she was completely insulting one of the students in her group who didn't really feel like participating. On one hand, the girl was being overly mean, but on the other hand the student wasn't doing what he was supposed to do. I was wondering if I should tell the student to calm down and not worry about the other student, or should I tell the unmotivated student to buck up and do the work? Either choice seems to have its draw backs and I can't really tell both of them to leave each other alone and do the work because then they will both be upset with me and not do the work.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would tell both students that in a real-world setting, we have to work with groups all the time. We don't always get to choose who we will work with, but whether we like our group or not, the work is expected to be completed. After talking with the students I would split the project into pieces and assign each group member a piece to complete on their own. I would tell each of them that they will be graded solely on the work that they contribute to the project. After the project is completed, I would talk to them both again about the importance of being able to work with others, and many times it is much more fun and efficient to be able to work together. |

| Comments: I like the idea of showing them that working with each other as group is more fun and efficient. Although they were not getting along, assigning them specific duties might not have been what they wanted. Hopefully they've learned their lesson. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation I would handle it like this. I think it keeps both students happy while getting the work done. It also provides a great opportunity for students to learn how to work with people that they may not get a long with. |

| Comments: Although I see the point here and some parts may be useful, I don't think it's a good idea to single them out and make such a huge deal about the pair of them. They should be handled separately. |
