Teacher note:
What is a Group Work?
Group work is working together to achieve a common goal. Group work gives you opportunity to
discuss and share your ideas, learn from others and, as a team, solve a problem or complete a
task. Every member of the group has a role and contributes to the success of the group.
Why work in groups?
A team working together can achieve more than the sum of its individuals. You can bounce ideas
off each other, clarify your understandings and gain self-confidence.
How do we work in groups?
Group work is about working effectively as a team. However, there are some things you should
watch out for, such as the following
One person taking over.
Leaving someone out
Giving too much work to one person.
Criticizing without offering your own suggestion.
Rues for successfu group work.
