Classroom Scavenger Hunt

Procedures Handouts Look for handouts on the counter as you walk into class, pick up any handouts Lab groups Use the number on your desk to find your lab table & lab group Passing out papersPass papers straight back (not to neighbor)

Class Rules We must come to a consensus on what these rules mean Respect Safe Try

Brainstorm Pass back the class rules worksheet & independently brainstorm 5+ ideas for each rule. Don’t throw your pencil Don’t cuss Follow all directions

If you tell someone what NOT to do, there can be a lot of unanswered questions Example: Don’t throw your pencil Can I roll it across the table to someone? Can I toss it gently? Can I throw an eraser since it’s not a pencil?

Telling someone what to DO is much clearer Don’t throw your pencil Pass materials by handing them to the other person

For HW: write your top 3 ideas for each rule as a POSITIVE “do” behavior Only pass materials when you are close enough to hand them to the other person

Next time…. Finish the consensus at the bottom of the worksheet. Due Monday

Closure- out loud with neighbor 1. What does this picture make you think of? How does it make you feel? 2. What message is the artist trying to convey with this image? 3. Which class rule would this image apply to, and why?

Work with your neighbor & write down the answers on the scratch sheet Whisper! You don’t want to give the answer away to any other teams!
