Tip:Working in Pairs
--------It's hard to get left out of a pair!

• Cooperative note-taking
  

  At a break in the lecture, one student in a pair summarizes his/her notes for the other, to see if they agree. Or they compare notes, and incorporate anything that either may have missed.

• Team anthologies
  

  At the beginning of a research project, a pair of students (or perhaps two pairs working together) meet collectively to assemble the resources for the research. Each member, then, annotates the gathered materials individually.
