This activity allows
students to create
an "Owner's
Manual" about
themselves.
Students write about how
they operate, what to do when they
malfunction, what they can be used
for, etc. This metaphor gives them an
opportunity to reflect on who they are
as individuals, demonstrating my
emphasis on self-awareness in the
classroom.
Assessments
A.
Students
will
play
the
Desk
Arrangement
game
to
practice
typical
room
settings.
The
teacher
will
observe
how
students
approach
the
task
and
time
how
quickly
students
complete
each
arrangement.
If
students
struggle
to
efficiently
rearrange
the
room,
the
teacher
will
provide
pointers
to
approach
the
task
differently.
B.
Students
will
complete
the
Silent-Patient-Waiting
activity.
Similar
to
Quiet-Attentive-Listening,
the
teacher
will
facilitate
student
responses
and
create
a
classroom
list
of
Silent-Patient-Waiting
norms
that
will
be
posted
in
the
classroom
for
students
to
reference
throughout
the
year.
C.
The
Owners
Manual
activity
will
be
completed
online
in
student
blogs.
They
will
need
at
least
THREE
images
from
online
to
complement
their
typed
Owners
Manual
in
their
blogs.
This
activity
will
reveal
student
strengths,
weaknesses,
ideas
for
improvement,
and
creativity.
The
Exit
Card
will
also
require
students
to
share
their
favorite
part
of
the
Owners
Manual
and
why.
This
will
help
the
teacher
see
what
interested
students
most,
or
what
they
find
most
important
for
other
to
know
about
themselves.
D.
Students
will
continue
getting
to
know
each
other
by
completing
another,
shorter
Partner
Grid
following
the
same
procedures
from
day
one.
The
teacher
will
collect
these
to
continue
reviewing
what
students
are
learning
about
each
other.
The
Exit
Card
will
also
require
students
to
write
down
one
thing
they
have
learned
about
ANY
of
their
partners
thus
far.
This
will
help
the
teacher
see
what
students
are
learning
about
each
other.

Assessments
A.
On
the
first
day,
students
played
Train
Wreck
to
learn
about
each
other
individually,
but
to
begin
seeing
things
they
have
in
common.
During
the
Common
Threads
game,
students
will
again
share
individual
facts,
but
before
they
share,
they
will
have
to
connect
it
to
something
the
previous
peer
shared.
This
requires
students
to
think
of
ways
they
are
connected
to
their
peers
while
using
the
web
as
a
visual
representation.
The
teacher
will
observe
and
participate
in
the
game,
stepping
in
when
students
might
become
stuck
trying
to
make
connections.
B.
Students
will
share
their
Owners
Manuals
with
a
partner.
This
will
further
help
students
get
to
know
each
other,
and
it
will
also
reveal
student
strengths,
weaknesses,
ideas
for
improvement,
and
creativity
with
a
partner.
While
students
are
sharing,
the
teacher
will
listen
to
and
join
conversations.
C/D.
The
Home
Court
activity
will
emphasize
the
importance
of
collaboration
and
trust
in
the
classroom.
Students
will
work
together
and
self-reflect
on
ways
to
make
this
happen.
The
teacher
will
observe
and
participate
in
conversations.
The
teacher
will
collect
writing
prompts
and
review
students
self-reflection.
The "Common
Threads"
activity visually
represents
community to
students in the
classroom. This
requires them
to find ways
they are
connected,
bringing to light
that our class
can be a
cohesive unit
made up of
unique
individuals.
