Study Buddies Across Classrooms: Designing Booklets Together for Younger Learners

Students meet their partner classmates in a live video call and learn about the study booklet challenge. Mixed teams get to know each other and share how they like to learn.

In mixed teams, students compare how they study with their partners and decide what helps younger learners most. Each team drafts one page of the booklet, taking turns and listening actively to each member's ideas.

Teams combine their pages into a finished low-tech booklet with activities for one subject. Each member contributes a part and the team checks that the booklet is clear and useful.

Students try the booklet with younger learners, watch how they react, and collect their feedback. They note moments of frustration or pride and what those reactions show about the booklet.

Teams improve their booklet based on what the testers said and reflect on how emotions shaped their work. They discuss which teamwork strategies helped most.

Mixed teams present their finished booklets to the partner class in a live video call. They share what they learned about study methods, teamwork, and the feedback they received.
