I find it a little difficult to comment on some of your posts because they are definitely outside my realm of curriculum experience. But, I do find activities like this one really help the students ‘internalize’ the knowledge. Which is something I expect you really want your students to gain.
I am not sure if this is for a f2f class or not, but in my experience I have found groups of 5 to be too many people for each member to really have an opportunity to contribute.
