No warm-up today! Have a seat anywhere and say hello to someone you don’t know yet. Please get out your name tag (or make a new one) and make sure it’s visible.
2
Welcome! Please get out your nametag (from yesterday) and place it on your desk so I can see your name. Warm-up: Tell me one thing about yourself that you would like me to know that I wouldn’t know from looking at you. It can be ANYTHING that you think I should know. After class, drop off the warm-up on the stool in front.
3
Period 2: Ms. Boden is looking for a T.A. Does everyone have a textbook? A MINUTE OF SERIOUS TIME… Our goal for the year: to improve work ethic. What is work ethic? Why is it important? How do you improve your own work ethic? If you don’t improve your work ethic, who pays the price?
4
Soon we will be getting to know each other, but before we do, a note on communicating… We all communicate in some way every day. We understand what is being communicated by paying attention to these three things: 1. What is being said 2. How the person says it 3. How the person looks when he/she says it Out of these three things, what do you think is most important in communicating? What do you think is the least important?
5
Studies show that… 1. What is being said makes up 15% of the information we receive 2. How the person says it makes up 28% of the information that we receive 3. How the person looks when he/she says it makes up 57% of the information that we receive
6
For example, imagine that you sent a text to a friend that read: “Hi! How are you?” They responded back, “Hi” What would your thoughts be about this response?
7
“Hi” is simply what is being said, but humans crave more information to help us understand the message. What could your friend do to help you understand how he/she is saying “hi”? What could your friend do to help you understand how he/she looks when saying “hi”?
8
“Hi” = what is said “Hi!” = how it is said “Hi” = how one looks when saying it
9
Let’s put this principal into practice! Find a partner who is sitting near you. Discuss who will be communicator A and who will be communicator B
10
When I say “go,” Communicator A will tell Communicator B about where he/she went to school last year, what his/her favorite class was last year and why that was his/her favorite class. However, Communicator B is NOT ALLOWED to smile, nod, make expressions with his/her eyes or move at all. Communicator B must stare at Communicator A with a blank expression. Ready?
11
Now when I say “go,” Communicator B will tell Communicator A about where he/she went to school last year, what his/her favorite class was last year and why that was his/her favorite class. This time, Communicator A should interact by smiling, nodding, make facial expressions, and use other body language to communicate interest. Ready?
12
Let’s share! Is there a Communicator A who’d like to share how he/she felt? Is there a Communicator B who’d like to share how he/she felt? What’s the lesson? Implications for class? Implications for school work? Implications for personal life?
13
If we are going to spend the year discussing literature together, we should get to know each other! We are going to participate in some “speed befriending” Soon, you will be paired up with a new friend I will give you a series of questions to ask your new friend and to have your new friend ask you. I will give you three minutes per question to converse about the question at hand. Take a minute to take notes after each question– you will be sharing the information you learn about your new friend later.
