Corners

Grouping of Students:  Students will be placed into 4 new groups each time a question is posed.

Materials Needed:

• Teacher will need a list of questions with 4 possible choices
• A Way to designate each corner of the room (A, B, C, D)
• Paper
• Pencil

Directions:

1. Students get out a piece of Paper and Pencil
2. The teacher poses a question to the class and associates each corner with a different possible answer
3. Students aren’t allowed to talk, they write down their choice
4. The teacher then says “go” and the students walk to the corner of the room associated with their response
5. Then each corner spends time discussing with each other why they made their choice and see their similarities
