Ummm, so why do I have this notecard, Mr. Wesley....?
So glad you asked.
Side 1: What is one thing that you are anxious/nervous about for this year?
Side 2: What is one thing that you are excited about for this year?
Unpacking your space capsules
1) Form groups of three with the members of your row (we might have one group of two). Arrange your desks so that you are not in a row, but rather, in a tight triangle.
2) Share your paragraphs aloud with one another. First, the America paragraph, then the World paragraph.
3) After you have shared, put each of your group member's America and World traits on the big poster sheet of paper. You can write them as bullet points, and organize them either in two separate columns or as a Venn diagram, or in some other way. Write legibly!
4) After you have completed your poster, walk around to read and write comments next to bullet points on other groups posters. Each of you should write at least two comments on each of the other posters. Your comments could take the form of words or symbols, emojis, pictures, and they should be school appropriate (don't be mean or vulgar or ignorant).
After you have finished commenting, circle back to your own poster to see comments shared by others.
Finally, we will have whole class discussion/sharing.
Hand in your paragraphs (5 points) before you leave!
Time permitting...Wagon Wheel
