19. ROVING REPORTER (Collaboration)
Description: One student in each group roams the classroom, asks critical questions, and reports back to his group.
Application: This strategy is best used when students need information they do not have.
Process: Form groups of three or four students. Tell each group to select a “roving reporter” whose job is to seek answers that have not been answered within their own group and to then bring the information back to the group to share. (This works best when reporters are sent out at the same time, usually near the end of the activity.)
