Team Discusion 

As you complete these activities, pay close attention to how well your group works together.

Are there areas that you need to work on?

How can you be a more effective group member?

How can you help others to learn without telling them how to do something or giving away the answer?

How can you encourage all team members to participate and share their ideas?

How can the group divide up work so that all students share equally?

These are all important questions to think about and discuss as a group before starting this unit.
