3. T projects the Cooperative Group Rubric at the end of the book (p. 317) so SS can understand what an excellent product is and what they can improve.
4. T asks SS:
- How are they alike?
- How are they different?
Activities
5. T writes SS’ answers using APP CS > pencil to complete the Chart 2 projected with similarities and differences. The whole group classifies the differences in subgroups (i.e.:
with regard to place, to music style, to number of people attending, etc.).
6. In their group, SS make a Venn Diagram showing similarities and differences between the three festivals.
7. Then, SS compare it to another group’s diagram.
Post-activities
8. Each group decides which festival would be more fun to visit. The writer of the group writes a conclusion.
9. The groups share their decisions and reasons orally (answer questions in the first activity).
10. SS complete the Cooperative Group Rubric to evaluate themselves and their teammates.
11. If there is enough time, T uses the APP CS> random selector to choose a S to check the activity. For this, SS individually identify and order the festivals (use number one for
their favorite event and number three for the least liked). Then, all SS begin to stand up. T chooses one S to say the order he/she assigned to the events; SS will sit down if the
numbers are different from his/hers. If at the end of this S’s turn there is another S standing up, it’s because they agreed on everything. * They can repeat as many times as
they want, choosing a different S each turn.
* Self-Assessment: SS answer the Self-assessment questions at the bottom of the page.
