Summer School Syllabus Day

EQ: How do you know what the course expectations and your responsibilities are?

Do Now: Meet & Greet / Seating Plan / Commonalities Game

COMMONALITIES Have each participant pair up and find 3 things in common with their partner. The goal is to find things that are more in depth and to get beyond the surface topics. Examples: We both like football (surface). We both like the Atlanta Falcons (more in depth). We both have been to Atlanta to see a game (even more in depth). Have participants (with partners) join with another pair and find 2 things in common with everyone. You cannot use something that was used before. Next, join another foursome to create a group of 8 and find one new thing that everyone in your group has in common. It gets harder .
