Collaboration! Collaboration! Collaboration!

Collaboration! Collaboration! Collaboration!

By: Caprice Tokoa

I strongly believe that working in a group or with someone other than yourself, is the best way to learn and stay focused during learning time in class and so should YOU!

Firstly, have you ever wondered what the best way to learn could be?

Well, if so, this piece of writing will persuade you to think that working collaboratively is the best way to learn. Why do you ask?

Well, working as a group means, more brains. More brains means, more work and more work means, a happy group and teacher. You get work done faster than independently. You find it easier to explain who’s writing or doing what and so on. Working collaboratively is the best way to learn from my perspective.

Secondly, if you are thinking that working independently is the best way for yourself to learn. Then that is what you think, but personally, I think that working in a group or with someone other than yourself could help you, and whoever you are working with gain more knowledge by sharing your prior knowledge. Always listen to theirs, because you never know, one day you might not be listening to the teacher during class and you might think, “Oh? What does this mean?” Who will be there to answer that question, no one because you were working independently(unless you asked someone around you that is).

Finally, in my opinion, I believe that working collaboratively could help you achieve more things during your school life. Working with more than one person allows you to create a much stronger, and positive relationship with others, not just those who you are always partnered up with. Just by reading this, my only question for you is, what would be your choice? Would you prefer working independently or with more than one person?

I hope that this has slightly changed your mind about collaborative working!!
