He suggests that one of the students be the taskmaster to keep the group focused on
the task of completing the statements, one be the recorder to write the group’s
answers, one be the timekeeper to keep track of the time, one be the checker to see
that all of the work is done, and one be the reporter who will give the group report
later. He tells them that they have 10 minutes for the discussion.
The teacher circulates among the groups, but does not say anything. After 10
minutes, he asks each group’s reporter to share the group’s responses. The teacher
consults the notes that he has made during his observation and he offers his
comments.
