What Students Need to Do

Students take a clear role, share ideas, listen, ask relevant questions, and build on teammates' contributions. They help make decisions, complete assigned work, and keep the group focused on one product.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

During a group task, the student contributes useful ideas, listens, responds respectfully, and completes an agreed role. The student can explain the group goal and help resolve disagreements.

Common Misconceptions

Students may think collaboration means splitting the work and completing parts alone. They may let one person control decisions, avoid disagreement, or confuse taking turns with building on ideas.

Give groups of three 10 minutes to choose the best title for a short passage and write one shared reason. Use a checklist for listening, contributing, questioning, and decision-making.
