Be heard, The Element, and Bash triumph

I hope you have all recovered from your marvelous activity making on Friday.  I am so proud of the work you did.  You all stepped up to make it happen!!!  I got a bit teary -eyed as I watched you all work so hard on the different aspects that brought it all together.  So much positive feedback has been given about your event.  GREAT WORK!!  Be ready with some positive and negative feedback for our debrief on Thursday!  We will apply it to our Christmas party in December!  We need to have a quick brainstorming session for Christmas ASAP!

During 3rd hour, after some hilarious jokes, Eric and Logan worked on projecting their voices to fill whatever their surroundings may be.  They stepped outside and combatted the elements and traffic noise to deliver their oral stories. Both did incredibly well and gave valuable feedback to each other.  HOMEWORK - prepare another oral story and apply feedback

Fourth hour focused on feedback - the good and bad of it.  We were treated to a book presentation from Logan regarding the book, The Element by Ken Robinson.  He quickly fessed up to NOT finishing the book, but was still able to deliver some interesting insight of the book and the idea of "the element."

We had a great opportunity to aid Logan by giving him our positive and negative feedback. (Remember always give 3x more positive than negative feedback!)

Morgan and Adam are up next with their book presentations.  I can't wait to listen to them and to YOU as you chime in with amazing feedback!!!

HOMEWORK-

-be ready to DEBRIEF the Halloween activity by writing down some positive and negative feedback!  Part of your class requirements is to write an activity debrief and lead an activity debrief.  BE READY TO CROSS THIS OFF YOUR LIST : )

-be ready to BRAINSTORM for our Christmas activity!  It would be great for you to jot down your ideas before class.  It would be so awesome if you asked around and asked what your fellow FILA friends are looking for in a Christmas activity and apply it to your personal brainstorming session.
