 We write EVERYTHING I tell you in your notebooks.  These notes are what will help you complete classroom activities and study for tests  DO NOT draw on your notebooks.  Remember, I grade them

You will receive a new textbook. This textbook will remain in the class and be shared with students from other classes You may not write in the book. Take 2 minutes now to look through it. Find something that looks interesting to you and be prepared to share your findings. Tell your partner what you saw that was interesting.

 Everyone hold up your textbook now with the cover closed.  We might need this book to be held up easily if we needed to type words from it into a computer.  How might we do this?

 Open to page Div 4.  I need a volunteer to read page Div 4.  Here are the materials that you will work with.  Think about what will you do to make this happen.

 Let’s read what criteria and constraints are.  Someone please read the Identify Criteria and Constraints section.  Label page 8 of your interactive notebook: Vocabulary 1.1  Define 2 vocabulary words using your textbook  1. Criteria  2. Constraints  What must be accomplished or what is the criteria for this challenge?  What are the limitations or constraints?

 We will now be forming groups.  Please listen as I assign you to your group  You will be working in groups of 4.  I will now instruct you as to how groups will be sitting.  Remember your classroom rules!

 How can we organize these to make them easier for us to understand what we have to do?

CriteriaConstraints

 Somebody please read the paragraph “Build and Test Your First Book Support” pg 4  You will now meet the criteria and constraints that we listed in order to design a book support.  Now realize that each student has probably started thinking about how to build a book support since they were introduced to it so each student should contribute their thoughts to the group.

 Test all ideas out  Decide on your group’s best design and then build it.  You have 15 minutes to build it.  stopwatch.com/countdown/ stopwatch.com/countdown/

 I’d like a volunteer to read the paragraph- “Communicate Your Work” pg 5  You are presenting to the students not to me!  Speak loudly and clearly and think about what to say before you say it.  Organize your presentation to answer the questions listed in the paragraph.  When watching presentations-ask the group to explain if you don’t know how their design works.  You have 3 minutes to prepare your presentation 

 A volunteer to read the 2 short paragraphs on page 6.

 Let’s read together and discuss.  (Read questions on pg 25 from teacher’s edition)

 Each group has 2 minutes to share and 2 minutes to answer questions.  At the end of the presentation let’s discuss whether if the criteria was met within the constraints given.  Learning –Ideas that work and those that don’t work are both important. Why?

 Volunteer to please read the paragraph “Update your criteria and constraints”  So now you’ve seen lots of designs and considered how each have met or not met the criteria and constraints, you should now reconsider what the criteria and constraints are.  We may want notice things that everyone did that was not a criterion and make it one.  Maybe we really liked one desgn so maybe we pick out that feature and add it to the list.  Write in your notebook, any ideas that you have for your next design.
