Ques. 7Ms. Baker brings you her lesson plan book and says, Remember that six-week cooperative group project I told you I was going to do? You know, the ones where the students are going to create a product and devise a way to sell it as a fundraiser for our field trip? Well I've got the whole thing planned just the way I want it. I know exactly what is going to happen every day of the project, I have determined what the students should sell and what materials they'll need, I've set behavioral parameters in place so there won't be conflict, and I have written up step-by-step directions for each group. I'm thrilled Knowing what you do about cooperative learning, you realize that
