Share with your shoulder partner first why you think the statement you chose is important. Switch to your eye ball partner. Stand up and find someone who has the same statement as you. Get into groups of like listening statements. Class discussion…Is listening important and why? Listen to Digital Stories for a second time. What do we know about our teammates now? Activity - everyone is valuable and has strengths to offer to the team. Let’s re-watch the 5 frame videos and take notes on something that stands out about each person. Later we’ll construct something digital that reflects who we are as a team and we’ll need the information you gather now.
