Activity Break students into five small groups,
and give each group a marker . Have each group
take a station before one of the five dimensions,
and instruct them to consider what behaviors,
characteristics and elements are a part of their
assigned dimension. Place a time limit on this
according to your class period, but it shouldn't
exceed more than five minutes per dimension.
Have students rotate from dimension to
dimension, brainstorming each. If a sheet fills
up and a second one is necessary, provide it, but
instruct the group that they cannot duplicate the
contributions of any prior group. Wrap Up Have
students walk around the room following the last
dimension to see how each dimension turned out.
