Uses template for a group contract to complete the work (he also uses groups of 3).  In the contract are guidelines for "firing a group member" with specific ways to solve the problem within the group, with the teacher, and then if you get three strikes, you're fired and have to do the project alone.

Bill provides the kids with a Publisher template that they edit for their final product.
