11. Simple and Re-Usable
Teachers are busy people. As far as possible, tasks should be designed so that they are simple and self-explanatory. They should be modifiable (on a word-processor) and re-used,possibly even with the same class for revision or assessment. While they may be simple, it is useful to build in a feature to help the teacher discover how well an independent task has been done at the report back stage. In the sample task below, for example, the accommodation is sometimes free. A full discussion would inevitably involve discussion about why. (Some work is expected in return.) A group that does not discuss this point has not really fully exchanged information.
