5. WORKING TOGETHER IN GROUPS  For group work in the laboratory, there is a procedure, so each student is prepared to contribute equally to the group's work.  I determine the lab groups at the beginning of the year, but will change them from time to time, if necessary. Students decide which role they wish to complete for the first lab, and will then rotate through the jobs of Timer/Discipline monitor, Supply Gatherer, Recorder, and Reporter.  For group work in the classroom, students will work in groups of two, four or large group. All students will fulfill the role of Researcher for the group. Student will rotate the roles of Timer/Discipline monitor, Supply Gatherer, Recorder, and Reporter, depending upon the group activity.
