              Activity 37

              • The product is successful not only when you have finished it, but also when it has had a social impact.
               Gauge this according to the way the products were received by others.
              Activity 38

              • Ask students to think about their partner’s performance. Have them exchange their overall impression.
              • If you think it is a good idea, instead of having your students assess their partner’s performance within the
               team, you may change this activity to a team assessment. The next activity will then be one team assessing
               another team.
              Activity 39

              • Remind students of the importance of assessing peers and of completing this evaluation with the rest of the
               team. They should agree on the same answers. Tell them to focus on the details they can improve, and not
               much on the mistakes.
              • If the team is bigger than the number of spaces available, you could have your students copy the format in
               their notebooks.
              • While each practice has different requirements and entails different complexities, it is advisable to have
               teams that are not too big, but not too small, either. Four or five people is a reasonable figure. However, this
               will depend on the overall composition of the group (for large groups, you may vary these numbers).
