Talking in groups Some activity examples: GALLERY WALK. Groups of students work to present their ideas on a poster which is displayed on the wall. The students explain their poster as the class circulates. STICKY NOTES. Students individually write down as many ideas as they can think of (one per sticky note). These are displayed for the group, who organise the notes into themes. Then each group can present their main themes to the class.

How would you adapt it for your classroom context?
Developing collaborative skills Collaborative learning builds deeper understanding How far are the collaborative approaches relevant to your class? Fish bowl. A small group of students engage in a discussion about ideas or concepts that have alternative explanations. The rest of the class observes and takes notes. A good way to develop listening and dealing respectfully with colleagues
Collaborative problem solving Collaborative problem-solving competency is the capacity of an individual to effectively engage in a process whereby two or more agents attempt to solve a problem by sharing the understanding and effort required to come to a solution and pooling their knowledge, skills and efforts to reach that solution.
