A group of students translates a text together in class. They negotiate translations, and use books and internet resources. The group has 3 to 4 students, are from different backgrounds, the language of the translated text is the group's first language, groups mostly work independently, and the source text requires only general knowledge.

Students are introduced to an "other" group (ex. Illegal immigrant), list reasons why this group is not accepted, the instructor and students discuss the validity of those claims, and then consider themselves as if they were in the same circumstance as that "other" group.
