Today’s lesson
We will be learning about the 4S Structure by going through example activities that use this structure.

What is the 4S Structure?
The 4S structure is a piece of Larry Michaelsen’s Team-Based Learning model. It is the recommended structure for collaborative group activities for this model.
The 4S’s can be used as part of Team-Based Learning in a course that meets multiple times or adapted for one-shot sessions.

In your teams…
Think about your experience with group work both as an instructor and as a member of a group.
As a group, create a list of: • The top 3 things you LIKE about group work. • The top 3 things you DON’T like about group
work
You will be asked to report your answer.

Identifying Scholarly Articles
![Page 9: Fine Tuning the Group Activity Using the 4S Structure Allison Hosier Information Literacy Librarian Coastal Carolina University Conway, SC](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5518a2ec550346b31f8b4944/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identifying Scholarly Articles
You have been given the printout for two articles from a library database. They have been labeled “A” and “B.”
One article is from a scholarly, peer-reviewed source. The other is from a non-peer reviewed source.
In your team, decide which you think is the scholarly source based on the information in the printout and what you know about peer-reviewed articles.

Evaluating Sources

Evaluating Sources
Pretend you are doing research on the September 11 terrorist attacks.
You have been given a printout for a book found in the library’s catalog.
Decide in your teams whether you think this would be a good source for the example research topic.
Give the source a grade based on your evaluation where “A” is the best possible grade and “F” is the worst.
