So after this post, I continued the activity at the end of the next class period. I had the students write an exit card on a post-it note that explained what their favorite meal is and why. Students then posted their card on labeled butcher paper hanging on the wall in the hallway. Each class period got a different color post-it.
The next day, each class was allowed to pick 1 post-it of a color different than his/her class. The students stuck it to a sheet of paper and wrote why they agreed or disagreed with the person’s opinion. Today, the students got theirs back (it would have happened Friday but I had to leave to take my daughter to the doctor) but due to a lack of time, only had time to read them and discuss with a partner before we went onto another AMAZING activity by Jane Shea that I will discuss on my next post :).
Input welcome and wanted!
