Happy Campers Methodology Handbook © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015
Try This! To get your students working with different
classmates, walk around the classroom assigning a
different number, color, animal, etc., to each student
(e.g., cat, dog, horse, bear, cat, dog, horse, bear … ).
Then have students with the same category work together.
Think about how you encourage collaboration in class. Read the statements below and reflect
on your own teaching style. Then circle never, sometimes, usually, or always.
1. I put my students into pairs or small groups to check the answers to activities.	
	 never	 sometimes	 usually	always		
2. I encourage my students to listen respectfully to one another.
	 never	 sometimes	 usually	always
3. I have my students work with different students each class.
	 never	 sometimes	 usually	always
4. I include activities in my lessons that require collaboration, such as games and projects.
	 never	 sometimes	 usually	always
5. I encourage my students to say what they like about one another’s work.
	 never	 sometimes	 usually	always	
Collaboration activities help build teamwork skills and create a healthy, cooperative environment.
Vary the way you divide your students into groups and pairs so that they learn to work with different
classmates, not just their friends. Pairing students with mixed abilities will enable students with different
strengths and weaknesses to help each other improve. Teach students to listen attentively to one
another, respect different opinions, and say what they like about other students’ work. Walk around
the classroom to supervise your students while they are working, but limit your input so that activities
are student centered.
