For Starters...

EQ: Do you have the blog saved to your home screen?

😉The blog is where you will find information on announcements, the day's agenda, assignments, due dates, and important links.

Info Card

  • On the front please write your preferred name (Write big to fill the card! It has to show up in the picture:)
  • On the back...
  • Where are you from?
  • What is your passion?
  • What is your pet peeve?
  • What is one thing you want people to know or understand about who you are? 
  • What should I know about you as a student to help me teach you better this year?
  • Which book did you choose to read this summer? 

Activity: Zoom


Instructions and The Final Goal:

  • Goal: to put pictures in order without looking at anyone else's picture. This is a game of communication!
  • Rules: Each person may ONLY look at his/her own picture(s).
  • Process: Start by studying your image. Then talk to people to see whether their pictures might have anything in common with yours. 
  • You have 20 minutes!
Debriefing Questions:
  • What was the underlying goal of the activity?
  • What did your class do well? How could your class improve?
  • How did you make decisions? Was it effective or ineffective?
  • What does it mean to be inclusive? Exclusive?
  • Why is inclusion important for our class? Our school community?
  • Why is feedback important? What kind of feedback?
  • What did this activity tell you about yourself? your class? 
  • What did you learn about perspective in this activity?
And finally, the overarching question...
How can we implement these lessons in our school?
