Teams Nearpod QuestionOpen ended question: What is your definition of teams in a classroom setting?
Teams➔ Cooperative learning teams
◆ have a strong, positive team identity◆ ideally consist of four members◆ endure over time◆ mixed by ability, gender, sex, race, and behavior
➔ The ability to establish teams is the first key competency of a cooperative learning teacher.
New Structure: Paraphrase Passport1. Teacher selects a piece of text and divides the text into “manageable” sections or paragraphs.
2. Students are placed into partnerships (A & B and C & D).
3. Teacher distributes a copy of the text to each student.
4. Both partners read the first paragraph silently.
5. Partner A summarizes what they read. Partner B then paraphrases what partner A said. 6. Partners exchange roles. Both partners read the paragraph silently.
7. Partner B summarizes what they read. Partner A paraphrases what partner B said.
8. The process continues until the entire piece has been read.

Brain Break---Hagoo (come Here)1. Two teams of about a dozen members stand facing each other a very giant
step apart.
2. A member from one team steps to one end of the gauntlet, and a member
of the other team steps to the other end.
3. They stare at each other until one issues the challenge, “Hagoo.” They are
both to walk the entire gauntlet with a very stern frown.
4. If they smile, they are won over by the other team.
5. The object of the game is to win over all the other teammembers.
6. Players cannot touch each other, but they can make faces and say goofy
comments that might get the frowning person to crack a smile.
Will➔ You must establish
the will to cooperate…
➔ You can use teambuilding and classbuilding to help build will.
New Structure: Placemat Consensus➔ Divide students into groups of four.➔ Each student writes their name on one section of the placemat.➔ Provide a text for students to read individually.➔ Give students a set amount of time to write down what they believe is most
important about the text on their side of the placemat. This should be done in silence.
➔ When everyone is finished writing, each person takes a turn to share their ideas with the other members of the group.
➔ The group discusses and “comes to consensus” on the ideas that are similar.➔ These ideas are written in the center circle.➔ As a class, discuss ideas that made it into the center circle.
Discuss, Share➔ How could you use
Placemat Consensus in your classroom?
NearpodAdd a place on Nearpod for teams to share how they would use Placemat Consensus.
Teambuilder - I’m no Dum-Dum...➔ Pass out Dum-Dum lollipops to the group.➔ For every letter that appears in the flavor, the
student has to share something about themselves with the group.◆ Note: You could use this as a review for content.
For every letter that appears, the student has to give facts about material they have learned.
➔ Complete this activity in Round Robin format.
Classbuilder - All About Me➔ Use Quiz Quiz Trade, and All About Me Cards, as a classbuilder.➔ Directions for Quiz Quiz Trade:
◆ Give each student a card. ● Tip: Cards with multiple choice or short answers work best.
◆ Have students pair up ● Tip: Walk around until music stops OR use Hand-Up Stand-Up Pair-Up
◆ Partner 1 asks Partner 2 the question on his or her card. Partner 2 answers. Partner 1 acknowledges a correct answer or coaches as needed.
◆ The process reverses with Partner 2 asking the questions.◆ After both questions have been asked, the partners switch cards, find new
partners, and the process begins again.

Brain Break---Speed Dating➔ Provide students with “100 Getting to Know You Questions.”
◆ Note: Prep the handout by highlighting questions that each person will ask. This will ensure variety during the “dating” process.
➔ Before you begin Speed Dating, explain how you want students to move. If your desks are set up in pairs, one student in each pair can stay seated and one person can move clockwise around the room. This will allow for random pairing.◆ Note: For tonight’s purpose, B’s and C’s will stay seated and A’s and D’s will
move.➔ As students move around the room, they will use the provided handout to record
what they learn about their “dates.”➔ At the end of the process, students have had the opportunity to move, meet new
classmates, learn about their interests, and summarize what they have learned.
Forming Random Teams➔ Form a new team of four were everyone has the
same collegiate mascot

New Structure: Numbered Heads 1. Create a set of review questions on a PowerPoint. One question per slide. 2. Students should be in groups of four.3. Have the students number off 1-4.4. Each student should have a individual response board (white boards work best, but paper/pen works
too).5. Beam a question to your students. Each student writes their answer privately, no talking.6. Ask students to “Put their heads together.” This means students should share their responses and
agree upon one answer. It is very important that everyone on the team knows the correct response.7. Choose a number, 1-4, all selected students stand, ready to answer independently. They may no longer
consult with their teammates.8. The teacher decides how to have students answer the question. Here are some options:
a. Standing students show their response boards.b. Teacher calls on one standing student to share answer aloud.c. Teacher uses a team selector to pick a student on a team to share.d. Teacher calls on multiple standing students to share.e. Students use response cards for multiple choice questions.
Question #1➔ What are the four steps for teaching Social
Skills?
Question #1 Answer1. Identify the Missing Skill
2. Identify Cooperative Structures that Reinforce Skill
3. Model and Reinforce
4. Reflect and Plan for Further Instruction
Question #2➔ What does PIES stand for?
Question #2 Answer➔ Positive Interdependence➔ Individual Accountability➔ Equal Participation ➔ Simultaneous Interactions
Question #3: Fill-In-The-Blank➔ There are many reasons why Kagan
Structures consistently produce dramatic academic and social gains. Perhaps the most important reason: When teachers use Kagan Structures they dramatically increase both the amount of _________________ and the equality of ___________________among students.
Question #3 Answer➔ There are many reasons why Kagan
Structures consistently produce dramatic academic and social gains. Perhaps the most important reason: When teachers use Kagan Structures they dramatically increase both the amount of active engagement and the equality of active engagement among students.
Question #4➔ List two management skills necessary in the
cooperative classroom.
Question #4 AnswerPossible Answers:
➔ Attention Signal➔ Seating Arrangements➔ Distributing Materials➔ Social Skills➔ Modeling➔ Clear Directions➔ Check for Understanding➔ Positive Attention
Question #5➔ According to Kagan, what can teachers do to
build will in the classroom?
Question #5 Answer➔ You can use teambuilding and classbuilding to
help build will.
Question #6➔ What is the difference between a group and a
team?
Question #6 Answer➔ Team members have a common identity and a
sense of belonging; group members do not share these traits.
