Tip! It’s Group Project time! Group projects can be a great middle school learning experience, but they can be difficult to manage.

The key to a successful group project is communication. Group project members should exchange phone numbers and email addresses as soon as the project has been assigned. Hold a group meeting. (Hint: Use the Group Project Organizer you can find at “Fun Forms from the Guide.”) Make sure that each project member clearly understands what his or her project task is, when and where it is due. Distribute tasks fairly. Decide on dates, times and locations for project meetings and note the dates in your planner! Good luck!
