ATL Focus-Communication

The ATL focus for our current Lang & Lit and Individuals & Society planners is communication. We have been discussing what effective communication looks and sounds like and have practiced these skills through a variety of activities.

This week in Individuals and Society, students put their communication skills to the test using their research highlighting the motivations and goals of their expert explorers. Students worked with three different partners. Each rotation required them to share their research, record their partner's research, and discuss/record similarities and differences between the explorers. This involved listening, speaking clearly, waiting for their listeners to be ready, as well as asking questions to clarify. Both classes did such a great job!!
