ABSTRACT
How can I start using group work in the curriculum? The activities outlined in Part II of this book are designed to help you train your pupils in social, communication and advanced group-working skills. These training activities will be useful only if pupils also have regular opportunities to reinforce their skills and engage in group work in other parts of the curriculum. Once pupils have received some group-work skills training and become familiar with evaluating and adapting their skills, group work can be used much more regularly within different parts of the curriculum. This chapter offers suggestions for developing and implementing your own group work within the curriculum. A variety of ideas and examples are offered of different types of group work suitable for both short sessions and longer sessions that may be conducted over several lessons or even a term.
