RallyRobin (2 people) OR RoundRobin (4 people) Topic given. Think Time. Signal Word. Greeting. Begin: Oral responses. Take Turns. Time called. Gambit (praise) or celebration. Closure (Good-bye).

Rally Robin Think Time: Look at the following Picture. Think of adjectives that describe the following scene When the signal word is given starting with partner “A” list your adjectives back and forth Continue until I say stop Do not repeat an adjective

Round Robin Think Time: Look at the following picture. Come up with sentences that tell us things you know about a locust. When the signal is given start with person number “3” and have each person share their sentence. Only go once around If you went around more than once what structure would that be called?

Round Table It’s in the Bag Step 1. Starting with person number “1” feel the bag and write a clue on the Clue Form Step 2: Each team member takes a turn. Go around twice Step 3: Once done pass the paper around and each person reads a clue that has been written on the form. Team Guesses what they think is in the bag. Step 4: After the object has been revealed each team uses the clue to create a team riddle.

October “SAM” Rally Coach Tips and Tricks: Be sure to model coaching techniques repeatedly. Focus on 4 “T”s of coaching: Tip*, Tip*, Teach, *Try Again Provide coaching hints on the overhead, backs of QQT cards, etc. Can be used with worksheets for 100% engagement. Answer sheet can be given or anchor chart used. Will be much more effective if Classbuilders and Teambuilders are being used weekly.
