1.7c Project Teams
1.7c Project Teams
Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
Creative projects are a fantastic way to harness the power of project teams! Whether it’s coding a video game, building a website, creating a presentation, or developing a business proposal, students can collaborate and showcase their strengths.
But don’t stop at just a job description—help students fully embrace their roles by giving them physical objects to represent their responsibilities. A lanyard, hat, or name tag can make a simple task feel more official and help them visually recognize their role within the team.
