Calendar/GuidebookLearning Target: I can understand the responsibilities and opportunities at EVHS."EVERYBODY HAS A STORY"

HAVE A CONVERSATION:

LEARNING TARGET: I can find something interesting or unique about my partner. Remember "Everybody Has A Story".

ACTIVITY: Students will be paired with another partner and they will have a conversation for 10 minutes.

HOMEWORK: write a 5-10 sentence story about the other person.

Some prompt questions to get the interesting stuff besides name, school, favorite subject, family, etc. might be

• Tell me something no one knows about you or something that would surprise people.
• What was the best day of your life and why?
• What was the worst day and why?
• What are you really good at?
• Is there something you can do that no one else can do? A hidden talent?

The activity is reflective of real world reporting. We need to search out those "golden nuggets" in our stories.

HOMEWORK:  Write a 5-10 sentence story about your partner.
