For successful small group work:
organise students into groups of four to ensure participation
deal out Role Cards for effective role demarcation through assigned roles
each student is dealt a Functional Role card and a Learning Role card
the Learning Role cards are used to scaffold the discussion
note that every group member must take on the role of Encourager
explicit teaching and modelling of roles are important
These role cards are also available in printable Microsoft Word fomat.
