**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Thanks, Adele. This does help a bit, but it doesn't solve all of my problems. I'm doing your body language project, in which the tasks are also broken up. However, the kids have to do the actual "research" part at home because they can't use the Internet during the lesson, nor can they videotape or do interviews during this time, of course. They have broken up those parts, but because there are other things that can only be done at home (transcribing/watching videotapes, for example), the in class time needs to be used mainly for reading articles and taking notes (and also creating interview questions). So while one kid might have been responsible for bringing in material from the Internet, in most cases, at least two or three kids in the group are responsible for reading/taking notes/summarizing, so if the material's not in class, they're "stuck". Also, I gave out daily work schedules for each group to photocopy (I can't make that many copies at school) and in some cases, the work schedules were with the kids who were absent. Also, during the first lesson, when they broke up into groups, they were supposed to decide on a country to research. Some of the groups decided not to decide until they'd actually checked out available materials. They were supposed to work this out by the following lesson, but that's when half the class didn't show up. Is each of your students handing in his/her own written presentation? Or will they hand in their final product as a group?
