TASK 2
Using Cooperative Learning in your Unit Plan.
Once you have clear ideas about your topic it is time to think how are you going to teach it and
work with your students. Complete the following chart to introduce Cooperative Learning.
You are going to describe how are you going to organize your students in the class: pairs,
groups of three or four, whole group, ……
And then you have to choose two cooperative learning techniques you will introduce into your
unit and tell us how you are going to work with them: what task are you going to use using
them.
Class Organization:
Firstly the class is organized in the whole group, then they play the first cooperative learning
technique in pairs and at the end they work in groups of four.
Cooperative Learning Technique 1:
Circumlocution
Task you are going to work:
We are going to work an analysis from a logo. Every pupil will search a different logo using
their laptop, then they will put in pairs and one member will start asking questions about
the chosen logo and the other member will answer by her point of view, then they changes
the roles and after everybody changes the couple.
Cooperative Learning Technique 2:
It is a fusion of “Think-pair-share” and “numbered heads together” (kagan).
Task you are going to work:
To create the logo, every group of four members have a simulated company's commission
with special conditions to achieve. Firstly they work in individual way creating one or two
sketches of the requested logo. Then they share the sketches with the group mates and
debate to create a unique logo that represents better the company conditions.
Finally, all members of the group are moved to another table to share their creation and
explain to the classmates why they have done this logo that way.
