August 2012, Week One
Day 1
World Lit and CaHSEE:
Objective: Students will understand expectations for the year and learn about their new classmates
Learning Agenda:
1. Go over the syllabus, procedures, etc.
2. Have students make a three-sided desk tag from a blank piece of white paper, their first and last name on one side, three words that have a positive connotation on the other. Have one of your own ready to demo, explain positive and negative connotation. Collect these at the end of the class, pass them out at the beginning of the next until you know all their names. Save these for me, I will do the same thing when I return.
3. Students mill around, Introduce themselves, share words. Groups of 3 introduce each other to the class.
4. Time left over, go over Classroom rules.
