I agree with what Tannen said about boys and girls in the classroom. I do believe that girls tend to talk more in small groups, but in my opinion it doesn't matter if it's mixed gender or a single gender group, as long as I am in a small group i feel comfortable to talk. I think girls feel free talking and giving their opinion in small groups. For example, when i'm in a classroom I like being in small groups because it makes me feel comfortable and I feel like they are actually hearing what I got to say and that way everyone who is in the group can have a chance to talk. From my perspective I think that if it's a one gender group then it would be louder than if it was mixed because boys are comfortable with boys and girls are comfortable
