  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!)
I would try to have them branch out to other groups and teach them about diversity and tolerance. If arguments occur have the students talk them out to see why they disagree or why they are upset. This exercise can really bring the classroom together and be a good learning experience for the students.

Comments: Teaching them about diversity and tolerance can help them learn. Also talking to them about their issues may be a perfect first step. I agree that this exercise can bring the classroom together and also help them grow as individuals.
