Classroom Groups

I am teaching the anatomy, blood flow and conduction of the heart and most of my students could understand it...but there were a few who just could not understand the information. After I tried several different ways of explaining the topic, I had the students get in two groups. I laid 2 long pieces of paper (about 15 feet long)on 2 tables and had each student illustrate they way they understood the information. It was amazing to see how each student came up with a different way to show their understanding of the material! I had the students that were having difficulties with the infomation walk around and pair up with a student who's illustration they could relate to. The students ended up learning from eachother and it was GREAT!
