ROUND ROBIN This cooperative structure consists of working without speaking in which the students have a sheet and they have to communicate through it, so this is a silent activity. In addition, during the activity they must check and correct what their classmates have done as they go rounding the paper. The activity I have designed will be done by the students of 5th grade of Primary School in the English class where they are working with the present perfect tense, so they have to create a story using this tense. Besides, they have to use storyteller dices and they can use at least five pictures of them. In that way, they will have to write the story using these vocabulary words and tense. In case they need to talk among them, they will write on the paper so that they can share many different ideas.

When we start a new game or sport I prefer not to explain the directions. First, I ask them for doing groups. For example, I have a class in 4º ESO with 9 students. They have to do groups of three persons. In each group, the students are going to become “experts” on a specific part of the rules: the goal of the game/sport and how to score points/goals, the pitch and the equipment and general rules: what is allowed/forbidden. Then, the experts of each part must join in a new group where they are going to learn about their topic. I give them notes and youtube video links to learn about it. After 5 minutes, they have to come back to the starting group and share their knowledge with the rest of the classmates. At the end of the activity every group will be known the rules of the game/sport and they will be ready to play. This strategy offers a way to help students understand and retain information while they develop their collaboration skills.
