The now famous ball of yarn, all wrapped back up!
Hi everyone,
Today was a pretty laid back day. We did not really get to any new content, but that is fine. It was mostly reviewing the answers from the test and the yarn activity.
Soundtrack: “We Belong Together” by Mariah Carey. Selected for today because of the class unity activity. Lyrics here.
AGENDA 3/18/13:
Warm Up
Test Review
Class Unity Activity
Homework: Check the blog! Make sure your notebook is ready to be checked!
---
Warm Up: (#11 in your notebook) Why is milk sold in rectangular containers, while soft drinks are sold in round ones?
At first, it seemed like the class had no clue, but with the help of both of these items being in class (!!!) we were able to figure out possible answers. Thanks for the good discussion!
Test Review: As it sounds, we went over the answers to the Chapter 2 test. Unfortunately, this meant that many of the students that missed last class (and the test) had to go study outside. Thus, I tried to be somewhat quick in my explanations.
Class Unity Activity: This was to get away from the usual dynamic of me up in front of the room, talking. We passed a ball of yarn away and connected to each other using our family backgrounds. Economically, the world is increasingly become a global competition of markets, because of the internet and air travel (among other inventions). This was a fun way to think about those connections. We finished right at the end of class, so we will come back to the financial collapse podcast next time.
Doing my hw
ReplyDeletelast class was really fun. I enjoyed learning where all of our classmates are from. and I hope to get to know everyone later on with really fun activities.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it, Irnes! I always love that activity. A little bit more interesting than just sitting and listening to me talk, I think! See you tomorrow.
