Cooperative Group Table Tents These table tents can be printed on card stock or laminated for preservation. They can be cut, folded, and placed on students’ desks after roles have been assigned for cooperative learning. On one side is the name of the student’s job. On the other side are the student’s roles and suggested cues/sentence starters for cooperative group work. Feel free to use the final page to serve as the back of the table tent as a general reminder of group work responsibilities.
