Solving Problems in a Group

What are we learning today?

You will learn to work with a group, talk together and make one decision.

Explanation

• Each person speaks and each person listens.
• The group makes one decision together.
• Follow these steps: ask, listen, compare, decide, report.
• Ask clear questions to find the answer.
• Use "Shall we ...?", "Let's ..." and "I think we should ...".

Examples

1. "Is it a very big animal?" - "No, but it's got long legs."
2. "Can you give me a hand?" - "Yes, of course. Shall I lay the table?"
3. "Let's choose the animal that lives in water."

Remember!

• Do not let one student decide for all.
• Listen to the question before you answer.
