Note Taking
Students will now come up with examples of ways that MLAs communicate with
and meet the needs of their constituencies
- Hand out blank pieces of paper by giving to the front and having them
pass backwards
- Show students how fold paper in half, and then in thirds, have students
follow along as you model
- Explain that students will fill one of their six boxes with an example of
how MLAs communicate with or represent the needs of their
constituency. They will make sure that the holes are on the left and that
their name is on their sheet.
- On my command, students leave their paper on their desk, and will then
move to the desk behind theirs. At that desk they will add a new idea to
that persons sheet that is not already on that sheet, they may repeat their
own idea on multiple sheets so long as it is not already present.
- Students are expected to print neatly so their peers can read their ideas
- This will be repeated until all of the squares are filled. students will have
47 seconds at each piece of paper, I will count down from ten, students
are to be quiet by one, then they will move
- Students at the end of the row will move to the top of the row to their left
- Once all six boxes are full, students return to their own desk and their
own sheet.
- Students will have one minute to read over the ideas that have been
shared on their sheet
- Draw six boxes on the board, have students give you six examples from
their sheets to fill your boxes. Briefly Discuss each example as it is given
