Attached you will find the cards I adapted for cooperative learning groups.
=== The teacher is the **Flight Director**. There is a task card for teacher (made this since I presented this at a conference once) which lists the teacher's roll during a lab. There is also a rubric (very simple) I would use to "grade" the kids on their performance as a team member. I do not always grade them using this... just every few times and these grades were averaged as a participation daily grade. === === Typically, I have 4 students sit at tables, but sometimes in a large class there are five at some tables. So, there are five "jobs"... the fifth* being optional. These are printed on posterboard and laminated. ===

===I use Mardi gras beads as " Lanyards" and table groups make mission patches to hang from these (I always rotate students to new tables each six weeks, you can do new ones each six weeks or just keep using the original ones.) Around the outside of the patch, they would list one of the job titles to make a set for the table. I required they wear these during labs so they would know who was what job (me too). They would rotate badges either left or right each time we did a new lab so all have a chance to do each job. ===
