Each student will receive a handout. The class will be split in half and supervised by two teachers, one for each group. Then these groups will be split again as one half will be presenting whilst the other marking. The groups will then swap over; therefore, everyone has a turn at doing both. / Classroom Management strategy
Both teachers will be guiding and assisting with their groups presentations and judging panel. This will keep the groups controlled and allow the students to feel comfortable about what they are doing and learning. If the groups don’t cooperate the students can be separated and the task can be conducted individually or in pairs. / Materials, resources and equipment
