Working within cooperative groups will be required for this project. Such times as you are required to participate in cooperative groups, you will be assigned a role within your group. Often times, groups will be made up of teams in which all participants will investigate the same topic, and other times groups will be made up of teams that will have all members sharing or working cooperatively on different topics, or different levels. Here are typical roles that you will assume as you work cooperatively.
