2nd Day: September 27,2010
Students were put into groups where they filled out a brief questionnaire to get to know each other. They shared that information within their small group and then each student shared one new fact that they learned with the rest of their classmates. We learned interesting facts about our new friends.
I introduced “If America Were a Village” to the class and played an audio recording of the author explaining how he came up with the idea to write this book. Students were put into pairs and were each given a page to read from “If the World Were a Village.” They were asked to read the page and make connections to the text. Each pair then entered their information into Excel spreadsheets & made pie charts based on the data they entered. As a group we discussed living conditions in America versus the living conditions in other countries.
The students were put into pairs again and were given a book to read that was about life in another culture. Upon finishing the book, each student walked around the library and answered one question at each station (this was to illustrate the various types of learners that exist).
