Lab Group/Small Group Job Descriptions
These job descriptions can be used in any small group setting to keep all students engaged. I laminated them, punched holes in the corners, and tied yarn on them to make a lanyard-type tag students wear during the activity. This keeps them from getting lost and makes the job "official" for younger students. They can also be edited to fit your needs.
