building castles
by parents talk
Jun 22, 2011
My class was studying mid-evil Europe and I assigned groups to build castles together. One group in particular could not work together but the other groups were doing great. They wanted me to change their group. I talked with each student (3 of them per group) individual to find out the problem and gave each suggestions on how to handle the problems, but I did not change the groups. The second day no progress. By the third day when they saw I was not changing groups they worked it out. We can't change jobs in life just because we can't get along, but giving them tools to work it out helped.
