Karen, Great way to get your students involved and thinking about how to be problem solvers as well as effective communicators. As for a less complicated way to pull this activity off is you might want to assign students to groups, say 2-3 students each. Have them break down the task/problem into equal parts depending how many students are in each group. When I do this I have them present for 2-3 minutes each for no more than 10 per group. I put them in front of the class seated behind a table as a panel. This lets them be comfortable and have the support of their fellow group members. My students really like this format and it reduces the individual workload. I don't mind assigning my students plenty of work but this way I get to repeat the activity with different topics since each topic is not completed individually. Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
