Some students struggle with how to address people with different forms of "you" based on formality and familiarity with the person. This activity allows students to decide how they will talk to someone based on the name tag they have on. The expectation is that they will introduce themselves, then ask one or two simple questions using the correct conjugation and form of address.
Students will go learn more about how conversation activities will be facilitated and introduce themselves to one another.
Students practice using their family-related vocabulary to build each other’s family trees.
Students will practice using the appropriate greeting based on the time of the day and who they are speaking to. Students will also practice uses of formal and informal greetings.
This activity fits in a unit with the purpose, “Students will interpret visual information in order to make informed consumer decisions.” It is designed to get them thinking deeply about how we represent data visually, introducing the ideas of a coordinate plane (quadrant 1 only) in a very informal way – without numbers.
In this activity, students sort 10 types of fruit by tastiness and ease of eating in order to learn how those attributes can be represented on a coordinate plane, and to determine which fruit truly is "best."
