Solving Problems Together

What are we learning today?

You will work with a partner or a group to find an answer together.

Explanation

• In a group task, you want to find one answer together.
• Everybody speaks.
• Listen to every idea.
• Write down the answers.
• Decide together and tell the class.
• Use short phrases to help the group.

Examples

1. You've broken your wrist. - Yes, I have. I fell over when I was skiing.
2. Let's think. What if we wash our hands?
3. Bacteria can spread when you sneeze or touch a dirty door handle.

Remember!

• Do not do the task alone.
• Listen first. Then say "I agree" or give a new idea.
