Tomorrow's Work and Expectations

Period 4
You do not have work to turn in, but tomorrow will go as follows:
1. Do Sentence Corrections (15 min)
2. Work in groups on a Royalty "Socratic seminar" assignment.
Basically, you will be reading different packets and you will be responsible for becoming "an expert" for that packet and then reporting to your group what the main points are.
You will have questions to answer.
REMEMBER THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WORKING TOGETHER, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU COPY EACH OTHER'S WORK WORD FOR WORD. USE YOUR OWN WORDS.


Period 5
You do not have any work to turn in, but you should be completely prepared to perform your skit on Thursday.
You should know that this is what I'm leaving for you to work on tomorrow:
1. Sentence Corrections
2. Work in groups of 4 to develop hand gestures for vocabulary words. This will require the utmost maturity and focus on your part. I am counting on your ability to work as groups and complete the task at hand.
(I know some of you may not like the hand gesture idea, but please understand that 4th period is relying on your gestures. This means that at the beginning of 4th period on Thursday you will be presenting the gestures you voted on in class. Note: a small extra credit will be given to the group with the most gestures selected.)

The activity will be split as follows:
15 minutes for discussion and creation of gesture and 15 minutes for voting. (you will have to be very focused on the voting part as you will have to fill out a worksheet)
This means that each group will present their gesture and the audience will rate the group's gesture on the "Rating ballot"handout.
Turn in the handout at the end of class.
