partner-picks will lead to them being assigned by me every time. 3. Paint swatch secret ballot This option is similar to interests but can be used with any activity. First, laminate enough color swatches for everyone in the class. For example, you might have five green, five red, five blue, etc. Have students come up in pairs to choose a color. Once the student has made a selection, instruct them to write their first name (or initials, class numbers, etc.) on a swatch and place it into a tub as if they were casting a secret ballot. The last two called will have fewer options to choose from, so they get the special task of pulling out the other swatches and telling their peers how to group up. You can make this even more random by instructing students not to tell the others which color they chose. 4. Random name selector Do a quick Google search for a random name selector (there are tons of these online) and enter your students’ names or class numbers. Decide how many groups you want, and choose that many students to be group leaders. 15 Have each leader come to the smartboard (if you have one) or your computer and randomly select X number of students using the random selector. Voilà! This is another one of the many creative ways to group students in the classroom. 5. Team Shake This last option is actually more random than it is teacher or student chosen, but it is still worth mentioning. Team Shake is a cool app that you can download on a classroom tablet. To use it, enter the number of groups desired, how many students are to be in each group and the names of your students. A special student is selected to be the “shaker” and is asked to shake the tablet. Like magic, the teams are assigned! 1.2 Teaching large classes Teaching a large class poses many challenges, both in and out of the classroom. In the classroom, large enrollments can promote student disengagement and feelings of alienation, which can erode students’ sense of responsibility and lead to behaviors that both reflect and promote lack of engagement. Logistics can also be a challenge when teaching a large class. How does one best manage the daily administration of what can often feel like a small city? Here, we present strategies to help instructors deal with some of the challenges associated with teaching large classes: - Promoting Student Engagement - Handling Student Grades - Working with Teaching Assistants - Dealing with Cheating - Managing Logistical Issues - Integrating Technology 16 |
