Mix and Mingle: Create an Inference with Your Group
- Mr. D. will give you an envelope containing two sentence strips.
- When asked to begin, wander the room with your sentence strips.
- Look for peers that have different strips than your own. Stay together until you collect a total of 4-5 people. No one should have the same sentence strips!
- You will have five minutes to mix and mingle.
- Select an area of the room in which you can meet with your group.
- Arrange the strips in a logical order. You should be able to explain why you put your strips in the order you did.
- It's OK if you have more questions than answers at this point!
