List Group Activity

As a Group of 3-4, get to together to create a list. As a group decide on a topic: do something quirky, or oddball (“13 reasons to buy lemons”); or something practical (10 places for CCAD students to…). Come up with a few topics and then choose one. As a group talk about the criteria for your list. How many entries to include? Why this number? How do you want to design it? 1-10, 10-1? Bullet points? How much text will you include? What kind of criteria will you use when writing the text? This should be a group effort: there should be a debate about what to include, what not to include, and the ranking of the items. Once you’ve completed the list, use a computer in the classroom to type it up. Print this file and then attach it to an e-mail and send it to teacupsaucer78@gmail.com. Over the weekend I will post the lists to The Picnic Table. Be sure to check them out.
