The role of instructional materials

Materials play an important part in creating opportunities for students to

work cooperatively.
Variations are required in how the materials are used
Materials may be specially designed for CLL learning (such as commercially

sold jigsaw and information-gap activities), modified from existing materials,

or borrowed from other disciplines.

Procedures
The teacher assigns students to pairs with at least one good reader in each

pair.
Student A describes what he or she is planning to write to Student B, who

listens carefully, probes with a set of questions, and outlines Student As

ideas. Student B gives the written outline to Student A.
This procedure is reversed, with Student B describing what he or she is

going to write and Student A listening and completing an outline of Student

Bs ideas, which is then given to Student B.
The students individually research the material they need for their

compositions, keeping an eye out for material useful to their partner.

The students work together to write the first paragraph of each composition

to ensure that they both have a clear start on their compositions.

The students write their compositions individually.
When the students have completed their compositions, they proofread each

others compositions. They also give suggestions for revision.

The students revise their compositions.
The students then reread each others compositions and sign their names

to indicate that each composition is error-free.

Conclusion
In Cooperative Learning, group activities are the major mode of learning

and are part of a comprehensive theory and system for the use of group
work in teaching.
Group activities are carefully planned to maximize students interaction and

to facilitate students contributions to each others learning.
