12.03 - Activity Notes

We started today's class with fifteen minutes of reading from everyone's free choice books (or any class novels that are currently being read). At the end of this reading time, everyone recorded their progress on their reading sheets.

Next, we went over the activities that people will be presenting starting next class. The activity schedule is as follows:

12/4 - The Good Show & Info Flow

12/6 - Follow Me, Follow You & Stand and Deliver

12/10 - class reading of a short story

12/12 - Group Poem & Picture Wall

12/16 - 1 word, 2 word, 3 word

For this next round of activities, facilitators will only be able to use an index card to aid them in the facilitation process. This card should contain the following pieces of information:

Activity name
Expected activity length
Instructions/Activity rules
Processing/Debrief Questions

In class, we looked at a one-page description of an activity called "Group Count." I went over how to set up the card and how to effectively summarize information. We then did this activity using the notes from the card. In the activity, the group tries to count to 10 with different people saying different numbers (in order) at random time intervals with no set plan or communication about who will speak when. As a class, we managed to make it to 9, but could not get 10.

Everyone then had the rest of the period to work with their partner (if they had one) to create an index card for their activity.


Homework:
