Discussion began with this question: Am I doing something students can be doing? Sharing of impressive projects done at Elmwood Franklin in sixth grade. Interdisciplinary unit making Rube Goldberg projects in groups of three. Successes were shared. Also, the 8th grade IDEA project was shared. Another participant shared how her students work in groups in her mathematics classroom. She assign particular jobs with each student having the chance to be the group leader. She has found that checking math homework this way allows all students to be involved, gives her the chance to meet with individuals to clarify learning concepts.
