Francis W. Parker Visit Prep

Welcome to our class blog!

Today, we will work on identifying activities to work on with our visitors from Francis W. Parker School on Monday, 2/3/2014.

You will work with a small group of your peers to present, organize and operate an activity in the library.

I will assign each group a section from this web page created by Lehigh University.
  1. Open the page in a new tab.
  2. Find your group's section in the document.
  3. Go through the activities and choose your two favorites. 
  4. Tell me when you are ready to make your choices.
  5. Do not choose anything we have already done with the FWP students.
  6. Ask me to print out your chosen activities.
  7. Write out a plan for how you will present and organize your activities.
  8. Clear the final plan with me.

Remember: Keep in mind the materials you will need for the activity!
