DLS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjrPF8hWb8s. I have taught ESL classes before. Cooperative Learning as explained here presents a method that works. I like a noisy productive collaborative classroom :)

DLS

Have the class stand up. Place 4 pieces of papers on the floor on each corner of an imaginary square. Write one of these on each paper:

Agree

Somewhat Agree

Disagree

Somewhat Disagree

Bring up a controversial scenario regarding some ethical situation and have the students go stand by the piece of paper that most likely reflects their opinion regarding the subject. Have selected students at random discuss why they are standing near that piece of paper.

Then, choose another topic and do the same. Be sure all students get to voice their opinion. At the beginning, tell them there are no right or wrong answers, just their opinions. No Groupthink here.

Since I teach Biblical Studies, I am always trying to get my students to understand the context of the stories in the Bible. When I teach on the parable of the Good Samaritan, I assign small groups of students to represent each character in the parable (the priest, the levite, the injured traveler, etc). As a group they have to research their character and then insert themselves into the parable. They're always stunned when they do this exercise -- I love it!

I will often take a controversial issue and do a poll to determine who is on what side. Then I put them into the two opposing groups but I make each group argue the other group's position. They have to work as a team, with everyone participating.

Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships, and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating with one another. Simon Mainwaring

Recently on westXdesign -via scoopit-we found an interesting graphic about naming 12 principles of collaboration.

Collaboration is among the most-often promoted fluencies of 21st century learning (along with creativity and communication). However, there are very few frameworks or models that exist to support the development of better collaboration forms. As it is, in many K-12 learning environments, collaboration is limited to teacher-created grouping, or more scattered project-based learning groups that converge on a single project and thus a single goal.

The following principles of collaboration (seemingly created for businesses but clearly applicable to learning) push that idea a bit further-with some important emphases on the individual, including:

1. Individual benefit is just as important as the overall (group) benefit

2. Think strategy before technology

4. Learn to get out of the way

10. Adapt and evolve
