P Positive Interdependence I Individual Accountability E Equal Participation S Simultaneous Interaction

Mean?

Does one Doing Well Help others?

Does task completion depend on everyone?

Must everyone perform in front of someone?

Is participation approximately equal?

What percent are talking or writing in the moment?

Students Feel?

Are they on the same side?

Do they need each other?

Can students hide?

Do students feel they have equal status?
