Please grab a table-sized sheet of butcher paper from the rolls: You know the drill!

We only have 4 groups, so let's peal off a few folk from other groups to make a quick 5th group.

═══════════════════════════

Now please use a meter stick and a dark brown or

black colored pencil and divide that paper up into 1/3rds.

Label one of those thirds "K"

Label another of those thirds "W"

Label the last 1/3 "L"

═══════════════════════════

Now please look at your responses to our opening question today. Get up (taking your notes with you of course) and scroll around to the other tables individually.

Find the table that matches that BIG 5 item that you wrote about and transcribe those "K" , "W" and "L" items onto the appropriate sheets in the appropriate places.

═══════════════════════════

Now take a few moments to go from group to group and read what other folks have written about what they know. Does that help with what you wanted to learn?

Let's discuss!

Now let us review our learning targets HERE
