Title: Letter “O” in closed syllable, the verb “to be”
Designers: Shchegoleva Ekaterina
Situation Today we will learn about the letter "O" in the closed syllable and the verb "to be". Then you will watch a story about a fox and read it on your own. At the end of the lesson everyone will read the story aloud.
Groups There are two students, a boy and a girl, Vika and Zhenya. They work together. Since the lesson is conducted online via Zoom, the boys take turns getting control of the mouse and doing the tasks together.

Part 3
I believe that the only true statement is:
Any group assignment can usually be changed into a cooperative learning activity.
Because I am fully convinced that the more people cooperate in the learning process, the better the result will be.
Experts believe (Ayupova, n.d.) that by 2030, the education sector will change a lot: the share of online learning will grow and democratic trends will dominate. Experts call peer-to-peer learning one of them.
Peer-to-peer learning means peer learning and assessment. This is a model of education where peer teaches peer (the English word peer means equal), i.e., people exchange experience, knowledge, and information, and so form connections and create communities based on the principles of support and mutual assistance. At the same time, the teacher or instructor acts in such training not as a source of new knowledge but as a creator and facilitator of an educational environment (Skornyakova, n.d.), in which people learn by themselves. That is, peer-to-peer is a type of active learning (Chi, M. T. H., 2009).
Peers are usually considered to be participants in the educational process who are on the same step in the educational hierarchy, i.e., pupils, students, and colleagues. There is no administrative subordination between them, so in P2P learning, there is no place for admonitions, instructions, or even punishments.
The advantage of the peer learning methodology is that the technology is based on the joint construction of knowledge and subjectivity is transferred from the instructor (teacher) to your peer. This format creates a more trusting learning environment, increases motivation, and strengthens horizontal ties and interactions.
Considering Instructional Approaches for Engaging the Learner (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018) we can distinguish the main two: Problem- and Project-Based Learning and Collaborative Learning. In the former, it can be either an individual assignment or a group assignment, and in the latter, it is necessarily a group assignment. From my experience in IB PYP I can safely say that the success from P2P is so overwhelming that I prefer to use it as often as possible.
