Today would rate as a B - or translated into a 'meh'
Activity went okay. I did all the good utepy things you're supposed to when doing a group building activity:
- job roles for students
- clear expectations
- modeling positive and negative behavior
- clear worksheet with directions
- materials ready in advance to be passed out
- job helpers to pass out materials
- and it goes on....
however, this was all undermined by something very foolish and obvious. I did not explain that the job roles they were being given were IN ADDITION to the group discussion they were supposed to be having...
sigh*
well at least I've learned my lesson...and now will refine that idea for tomorrow.
