This activity will give the instructor a tool to have students work with different partners.
Directions:
In this activity students mix with the full class and sign up for “appointments” with 3 to 5 other students in the classroom for 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., etc. on a teacher prepared “Appointment Calendar”. A student can only set one appointment per student.
Then during a set time, the teacher calls for all of the 9:00 a.m. appointment students to partner up for a short discussion based on a given discussion question. Another time the teacher may call for the 10:00 a.m. appointments to partner up.
The Appointment Calendar may also be used to partner students up for other activities.
TOOLS: You can use a paper calendar, or use the calendar feature on a laptop, iTouch/iPad.
