You Want to Be

-
Introduce Map concept
o
Pull a Google Map up on your TV or Projector
o
Point out the Blue and Green dots. Have students
start brain storming how a map is a lot like middle school
§ There
are multiple paths to get to the end
§ There
are turns and twists
§ There
are rules of the road to follow and sometimes detours
Tuesday Flex Block:
-
Tape
Maps
game- tape, a table, straws, pompoms
o
Three kids at a time come up to
the table and start at the same end with their pompom on their own tape line
o
When the teacher says go they
race to blow their pompom along the tape line to the finish
o
If the pompom falls off the
table they need to start over. If they fall off course they need to get back
on.
-
Find the 2 Tape Maps Masters in your advisory.
They will compete in a bigger Map off on Thursday during House Flex.
Wednesday Morning:
-
Review game from yesterday.
o
Just like GoogleMap keeps you on course, groups
need guiding principles to keep them on course.
o
Sometimes things happen on the road that make
travelling harder or easier; likewise, there are things that people can do that
make reaching our goals (remember what’s in your paper bags) harder or
easier.
o
So if we want to reach our June destination
feeling _______________, what “roads” to do we need to take? What will help us get there?
o
Examples:
acceptance of our differences respect
participation confidentiality
showing
up on time kindness
• Ask
your advisees to work together to create a list – their own “rules of the
road.” Find a way that works best for
your group – if you all work well together (participation high), then work as a
large group; but if some members monopolize the process, then have group split
up into pairs or trios and create a list of guiding principles; after each
group presents their ideas, debate and decision-making can take place to adopt
the rules.
Wednesday Flex Block:

Hours
