Well for me i would perfer working in a group because if I work by my self I would just have my ideas and in a group I the group would have many great diffrent ideas and you would also get to know someone somtimes.
Please organize your ideas into sentences then a paragraph.
Quick Fix: I is always a capital letter.
Hello,
I would prefer to work in a group but a group of choice. Maybe once in a while people who I don’t work well with to experience a better work connection but even then I would rather work with a group of 2-4 people.
That’s how I see it :).
Having choice often motivates people, but what should be done for people who are not chosen?
Your second sentence is confusing. Please rework it by adding punctuation or separating your ideas.
I would prefer working independently ,because I do better working alone . It also depends on the number of people too. If it is to big of a group , you don’t really contribute
to the group . If you work in a little group , you can participate to the group . When you
work alone you can do your own thing.
You make a good observation about the size of a group.
Quick fix: use too when you mean extremely (too big)
I like working with others. You can explain what your ideas are to other people and you can listen to what their ideas are. You can think together. You don’t have to think alone. The work goes faster because there are more people giving more than one idea. You have five people, you have lots of ideas. People think differently, so you might end up with better answers.
Great response! Listening to the ideas of others helps to see things from a variety of points of view. Perhaps you may not end up with a better answer, but you may be more convinced that your answer is the best.
I like working in a group because then there is a lot of different ideas. If one is wrong then the others can help. It also gets you involved. It develops social skills.
You are correct about the social skills. The ability to be a good listener is often more difficult to master than being a good speaker. Groups that are successful have members who participate. If only one member does not contribute, it can be disastrous for the group.
I like to work in a group sometimes but I would rather work alone.Art wise.
The idiom ‘sitting on the fence’ is appropriate here. Given the choice which one would you choose, regardless of the task at hand? Add several details to your response.
I would like to work alone because I find that is when I think the most. I like to use my idea’s. It is not that I don’t like everyone else’s idea’s it is just I like to brainstorm by my self. I also find it easier.
Good reasons. Elaborate on your thought about it being easier (how? why?…)
Quick Fixes:
– use an apostrophe to show possession or for a contraction (not for a plural noun); my ideas (several ideas); everyone else’s ideas (the ideas of others)
– myself is one word
I prefur a group than working alone because in a group you get to cooperate with others and it’s blast.
Please provide more support and details in your paragraph.
Quick Fix: prefer (not prefur); it’s a blast
I prefer to be alone because I don’t like it when people are like ” No, we are not doing you’re idea it’s stupid”
But I also like to come up with ideas on my own. Yep thats how I roll 😀
Your ideas make sense, but you have presented them in an informal, conversation style response. Please take the time to respond in an academic way. State your position, support your position with reasons, sum up your response.
You need not include, “Yep thats how I roll” in this style of writing.
Quick Fixes:
– an idea belonging to you = your idea
– that is how I roll = that’s how I roll
i would rather group because it’s why easyer too work with people u are friends with then alone.
Please put your answer in a paragraph.
1st sentence = state your preference
2nd, 3rd, 4th sentences… = reasons supporting your preference
5th sentence = a conclusion for your ideas
I like to work in groups because there will be more ideas and more getting done. What I don’t like is sometimes someone will disagree and the we don’t get it done in time.I like it when there is an equal amount of boys and girls in the group though.All the boys think the same and all the girls think the same as well.
Good point about getting people to agree. What skills do people need to learn for group work to be successful?
I rather work alone because I can do more work than I can in groups.
A paragraph is expected for your response. Please add to your work.
I would way rather work in a group. Because its easier and if you need help someone can help you out. And being social is more fun.
Opening sentences with ‘Because’ and ‘And’ is not desirable. Usually, the words ‘because’ & ‘and’ join ideas:
“I would rather work in a group because it’s easier than working alone. In groups, someone can help you out, and being social is more fun.”
Writing a formal paragraph is different than a conversation.
Quick Fix:
– it is easier = it’s easier
I would rather be in groups because I like being with other people because if I NEED HELP THERES PEOPLE TO HELP ME
Write a response using a paragraph.
1st sentence = big idea
2nd, 3rd, 4th…= supporting details
last sentence = conclusion
I would rather be in a group because I dont like working by my self and its easyer in a group.
Write using a paragraph format:
1st sentence = big idea
Middle sentences (2 or more) = supporting details
Last Sentence = conclusion
I would prefer to be in groups rather then alone because I like working with people. I don’t like to be alone because you don’t get to share your ideas with anybody. When you are in a group other people can help you.
Good ideas – quick fix: rather than (not then)
I prefer being in a group because the other members of the group can help me when I’m stuck and I can help them when there stuck and i just like to be with other people.
A good start to your response (one sentence). Please add more to it.
Quick Fixes:
– “…when they are stuck…” use they’re
– I is always a capital letter
I prefer groups because I can have more fun working with friends than being stuck on a question and someone in my group could know the answer. Usually the work is easier because its a group activity. Sometimes it can be a fun competition between groups
You raise some good points about working in a group. Improve your paragraph by linking your thoughts to a central theme – ‘why group work is fun’.
Quick Fix:
– “it is a group activity” = it’s a group activity
I perfer working in a group becauae 1.you get lots of ideas and 2.its more fun 3.you get more done
These are good points. Now, take the time to write sentences for each point and explain in more detail.
I would have to say I like to work alone. I like to work alone because I do better work when I work alone because there is nobody to distract me and I can focus on my work more. If I have to work in a group then I will,but I just won’t work that well because I will be distracted a lot.
How is your focus when playing multi-player video games?
I would prefer to do it by my self. The reseen for this is that I can do my ideas and I dont waste time by arguing or/and getting mad at each other. You can be pard of with some one how is lazy and I like to do stuff by my self I dont now wy.
You are right when saying that group work can be challenging when people argue or do not contribute. Still, it is important to learn the skills needed to work with others because you are likely to have to work with other people in your life.
I would rather work in a group because if I don’t get something then I would get help and because I think it is really fun working in a group. 🙂
Organize your ideas into a paragraph.
1st sentence = state your preference
2nd, 3rd, 4th…sentences = reasons supporting your preference
last sentence = conclusion to sum up your opinion
This takes several sentences (not one).
i would prefer working in a group so you can brain storm and get subjects done faster and it’ll be a little more easier i think
Good ideas Hank – now take the time to organize your thoughts into sentences, then a paragraph.
I prefer working in a group for several reasons. First, you can brainstorm and get many ideas. Second, you can work faster…..
Well, I my self would prefer a group because than you can help others and they can help you. And if things don’t go right then you may ask the teacher.
Also, it’s nice to have different opinions, and it’s really nice to have a project with so many different pieces of art and info.

Quick Fix – there is no need to say “I, myself” because they mean the same thing.
I rather work alone because I get more work done. If I work in a group (with people I like) I get a little bit of work, and that’s not good for my work. But I like to get my work done so I just prefer to work alone.
2nd paragraph,
by, JAXSON/NINJA
I like to work in small groups. Why because when I am in a group I can listen to what other people have to say. Then it gives me a chance to share my ideas. Than we can work on group projects more. I like to work on group projects this is why I think group work is the best.
Your make good points.
Quick Fix: Why is a question, so punctuate it with a question mark. (I like to work in small groups. Why? When I am in…)
I Myself Prefer to work alone because there is no one to bump me while working IN PEN! there is no one to spill murky malaises liquid on my art, and no one to bug me in strange ways I did not know and should not know. It always brings me silence, peace and relaxation, not what has been firmly stated in the sentence above. This is what I like and this is what I want.
Good points – Is it possible to work alone on everything?
Quick Fix: Writing “i, myself” is redundant; use one of the words rather than both of them.
I like to work by myself I like to rely on my own knowledge rather then others. if I mess something up I’m fine with it I will learn from my mistakes. if I work in a group and someone does something that I would have done right then I feel hatred for that person.I want to be friends with everyone then I end up ” doing the right thing” by saying its fine but I’m angry. If the project is meaningless like I can make it up latter then I don’t care.
Good points – do you think you can rely solely on your own knowledge to learn everything you need in life?
i like working in groups because… i get to share my ideas and they get to share their ideas too, so we don’t just have 1 idea we have more than 2 ideas.we get to share the work,so 1 person dosn’t have to do all the work.and its more fun then working alone !
i would rathen in the group because it’s why easyer too wore in group.
