A New Year All Over Again

I was originally going to talk about the start to the new school year from a system point of view, but today I started trying to plan for my MYP Design class, and I feel so rusty. 

I planned for a "first day activity" - something to get to know the students. I planned questions to ask. I planned an overview of the course. 

Then I was late to class.

Today was the second Monday and it went a little better. I spent more time on planning out the activities. I grouped the students and gave them a short time to put their ideas onto a Thin Slide. 

Criteria A - Inquiring and Analyzing - The Principles of Design

Next time I need to have them in some sort of a seating plan. I think before we start, they should do some sort of activity where they can talk a little beforehand.
