12.18 - 1 Word, 2 Words, 3 Words
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.
We then were lead in the activity "1 word, 2 words, 3 words" by a student facilitator.
Following this activity, the facilitator completed a Facilitator Debrief Form and everyone else responded to the following 10-minute writing prompt:
Identify and describe what you see as being one of your strengths as a facilitator. What is something on which you feel you can improve as a facilitator?
At the end of class, everyone shared out one of their strengths. I will be using responses to these questions to help guide my feedback for facilitators in the next round of activities.
Homework:
If you did not do so in class, finish your activity comparison sheets.
If you have presented an activity and have not finish filling out the Facilitator Debrief Form in class, do so for homework.

12.04 - Activity: The Good Show
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, one of the students in our class presented the activity, "The Good Show."
In this activity, the class was broken into two groups and had to prepare a skit with the following elements:
A car breaks down
Someone speaks French
There is a police officer
There is a store keeper
Someone gets criticized
After presenting the skit once, we had time to revise it and make it better and then presented it again. Our facilitator then lead us in a debrief of this activity.
Following the activity, everyone began critiquing it using the Activity Comparison Sheet. Since we did not have time to do another activity to compare this one to today, everyone was simply evaluating this activity using the format provided.
Homework:
If you did not do so in class, finish evaluating today's activity ("The Good Show") with the Activity Comparison Sheet.
Be sure to have your facilitator's note card prepared for when you present your activity to the class.

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:
If you did not do so in class, finish creating your note card.
