Here’s a photo of the AOW that was assigned first: This is page 1 of the 4-page handout. Next time, I’ll have each class of twelve match up only their lids. I have 24 total eighth-graders and it was just too difficult and time-consuming to match up all 24 lids to their descriptions. At least I have two ways to improve this activity for next time: 1) provide more detailed descriptions by requiring students to add precise measurements to their descriptions, and 2) have students match up fewer lids to their descriptions. They wrote their paragraphs and titled them with “Lid 7”, for example. I numbered each lid and then put it in a paper bag before passing out one to each student. Maybe next time, I should create a sheet that they fill out instead of having them write lid numbers on Post-It notes attached to each description. As a result, students gave up after matching up about six lids to their descriptions. The descriptions were simply not detailed or precise enough so the lid descriptions could be distinguished from each other. On Friday, when kids matched up the lids to the descriptions, there was just too much matching to be done. Overall, the activity didn’t work as well as I hoped it would. There were too many lids for them to match up, so next time I’ll have each section match up their respective descriptions and lids. The lids were set out on some desks just out of view to the right in the photo above.

Students read the descriptive paragraphs and then attempt to find the lid described. Your Game Wheel will have 20 evenly cut colored slices, each marked with a cash prize amount. (The gym actually worked best, since kids could REALLY space out from each other.) The lid had a sticker on the bottom that students would use to match up to the cup’s descriptive paragraph. Did anyone do the Unit 7 Game Wheel assignment for AP CSA For this assignment, you will work on a multi-file program which represents a game using a spinnable Game Wheel, a bit like the one seen on the show Wheel Of Fortune (below).

Leaving my classroom to write their descriptions was beneficial because the gym and safe room are big enough that kids could space out and open their brown bag that contained their coffee lid. They spent about half of the 50-minute class period handwriting their descriptions on notebook paper, and then the other half back in my classroom typing up their descriptions and printing them out. I took my two classes of my 8th-graders to the gym and to the safe room to write their descriptions last Thursday. That activity? To write a descriptive paragraph(s) about one of the lids, which would be written so descriptively that a reader could match the text to the lid without either being labeled. This assignment basically formed the introduction to the activity that they completed last week. These patients are typically drowsy or obtunded, they can open eyes and localise painful stimuli upon assessment. I collected about 28 different styles of coffee cup lids.Ībout two weeks ago, 8th-graders read and responded to the AOW.
