Lab Group/Small Group Job Descriptions
These job descriptions can be used in any small group setting to keep all students engaged. I laminated them, punched holes in the corners, and tied yarn on them to make a lanyard-type tag students wear during the activity. This keeps them from getting lost and makes the job "official" for younger students. They can also be edited to fit your needs.

Groups Poster - Science
I designed this poster to serve as a visual reminder for students as to what teacher expectations are while they are working in groups. They should be giving thoughtful feedback, respecting each other, observing, analyzing, and discussing the task at hand, using the materials provided appropriately, actively participating in the activity, and staying on task. The border I created references subjects and tools in science classrooms. The poster size is 32 in. x 24 in.
