  1. Flexible Teaming • Teams are created based on students’ strengths, needs, choices, and interests. • Teams are not permanent and will often change. • Teams will meet occasionally, not daily.

  2. Teaming for Today’s Purpose • Objective: Students will be able to show how our perceptions of a character are influenced by other characters’ thoughts and actions. • Task: Each team will show the influence of other characters through a different final product. • Assessment: Although collaboration and team work is encouraged, each team member must complete and submit their own final product.

  3. Team Assignments • Ravens: a multi-paragraph essay • Bengals: an annotated diagram of the selected character • Steelers: a series of journal entries from other characters perspectives • Browns: an illustrated panel in comic or graphic novel style

  4. Getting Started • When you receive your team assignment, report to your team locker-room, which is indicated by the team banner hanging up. • Bring your binders and books with you. • All additional equipment and materials for today’s assignments will be waiting for you in your team locker-room. (I.E. graphic organizers, coloring utensils, diagrams, etc.)

  5. Locker-Room Rules • Share “equipment” – resources and materials. • Respect your teammates and equipment. • Work with a purpose, and play to win!

  6. Pacing *Each Quarter of class is eight minutes long.* • First Quarter: As a team: meet, gather materials, read team assignment directions. • Second Quarter: As a team: brainstorm and discuss ideas, plans of actions, and possible questions about your assignment. • Third Quarter: Individually: start your assignment, and help a teammate if they seem stuck or confused. Coach them by having them think aloud and offer your own suggestions. • Fourth Quarter: The teacher will check in on your team and individual progress while you continue to work. • Overtime: Complete what you do not finish at home for homework.
