Seating Chart Activity: Group Activity: Create "labels" for each member of your group (for example: "owns two cats" or "climbed Mt. Washington"). The labels should express something about you, but not something publicly known. Keep the labels secret and be careful with your handwriting.  First, one side of the room takes their labels and places them face down on a center table.  Those who placed labels, stand in a line.  Members of the other half of the class each take a label and attempt to give it to the correct person.  When all labels are placed, the placers get on point for each correctly placed label. Now it's the other group's turn.

Circle: What are you good at?

Review Practice Test: How well did you do?  What do you need from me and the class to get better? What do you think you need to do differently?  This will be passed in.
