3. GROUPWORK- a short play by Miss G
STUDENT: Miss G I do not like working in groups!
MISS G: That’s okay!
STUDENT: But- wait what?
MISS G: Not everyone likes to work in groups. Why don’t you like groups?
STUDENT: We never know who’s in charge and what everyone is supposed to do. It’s a big mess!
MISS G: Great I have a solution!

Readers read the text.
