Group work. It can be a wonderful thing. But how to deal with a class where there is one student who, probably through no fault of their own, irritates the other students?
Assigning groups yourself is most effective and makes sure that people mix and get to know other class members, and of course prevents the group a little from just chatting about anything and not working, but there's still the problem where you assign a group who don't get on.
I found this yesterday morning when being put in a group myself- what we were supposed to do was have a discussion- but I didn't make an effective contribution owing to the prickling sense of annoyance felt at one of the other members of the group. It must be the same for other students.
So this afternoon, when I have some group work planned, will be most interesting.
