Wednesday, Mar. 18 th 216 3/18/15 Wed. L.T.: I can critique my card sort and others’ by challenging and defending the rules of each sorting. DO NOW: What questions could you ask to challenge the following card sort? ………………. Reflection: Did I participate in coming up with the rules for each round of sorting? Do I have notes from each sorting round on my right side? Did I challenge through ambassador questioning and defend my groupings through explanations? 217 Title: Sorting Out Life 2 (see yesterday’s right side… use today’s right side for more space if needed…) Ex: # of categories: 4 LivingNon-living Needs to survive Rabbit Bear Oak tree Robin Lightning Rain Soil Lake Heat Water Insects (food for robin) rule

2 nd period DO NOW Q1: Why did you sort them this way? Q2: Aren’t there living things inside the lake? Q3: Why is ______ in this category? Q4: Isn’t an insect a living thing too? Q5: Although the robin has food, what about the other animals? Q6: Could _____ card fit in any other category? Why? Q7: Is this the most accurate rule for these cards? Q8: What is your definition of ____________?

Rules You must have the # of categories that Ms. Kim states Each category must have rules as to why things belong there: You must use every card every round Each card must actually fit into the category No “Miscellaneous” category!

Example from Ahtalia 2 categories Rule: 1) living, 2) nonliving livingNon-living Hawk Mushrooms Mice Poppies Elodea and guppies Chickens Deer Snails brine shrimp Ants Oak trees Chickadees Rabbit(s) CA gull Fox Frogs Prairie dogs Trees, shrubs, and grass Butterflies, bees, and flowers Lightning Rocks Snowflakes Sunlight Heat Fire Ocean Rain Pond Clouds Forest hillside

Ambassadors (Light version) Choose an ambassador. This person is going to travel and learn of other peoples’ groupings and questioning the groupings. “How is this category different from that category?” Why does _____ belong in this category?” “How does _____ follow this rule?” High School Reps: You are explaining your rules for your groupings to the ambassador and receiving the ambassador’s questions. “_______ belongs in this category because _________.” “This category is different from this category because _____________.”

“Come back home…” Ambassadors: share other tables’ groupings (for new ideas) Table Reps: share questioning from other ambassadors Entire group: decide whether groupings stay or needs tweaking. Finalize in SNB.
