It's a class of 5 students, so it's already quite small ;), but when we do group projects I assign them into groups of 2 and 3 and ask that they work with the person(s) that they know the least...it's pretty neat not only to see them get to know each other but to share ideas and new viewpoints.
Judy, do you have any other suggestions for engaging quieter students...I have one student who becomes visibly anxious when I call on her and I'd like to make sure she's comfortable and not feeling taxed in class discussions. Thank you, I'm… >>>
