Student Grouping
To begin the unit students should be divided into teams that you as the teacher should select. This will minimize student behavioral problems. The students will work with their team for the entire duration of the unit and complete the final assessment together. As such, it is important that you select teams that are balanced and group students together in a way that they can work well together. There should be an even representation of student ability level in each group, an even mix of high and low readers, etc.
