Giving students group roles, or allowing them to pick their own group roles, connects to the UDL principle of effort and persistence. Students are able to focus on their main task while in a group while working with others which fosters communication and collaboration. Students do not feel shy to say what they have to say when it applies to their job. Some jobs require more speaking than others, which is great for students who flourish at verbal communication and for those that do not.
